Fa-la-la-la-la...right?

Moosmom, here is one to throw back at you. I went to a bird feed store Friday. Very upscale..you know, seed, feeders, bird baths, jewelry...not just the feed store.

I said to the clerk, "I'll take 5-20 pound bags of your red bag...." which sits at the front door and is loaded onto a gurney and taken out to your car. Well, she thought I said a 5 pound bag...which would last me a minute. AND, why wouldn't I have brought one five bag up to the counter? I am old, but, not feeble.

Anyhow, we straightened that out, without any issue and she rung up my purchase. At this moment, Jonah decided to play the gongs in the store. I turned around, immediately, to tell him to stop. Which he did. I had started to walk towards him, too, but, since he stopped immediately, I turned right back around.

Quicker than the second clerk thought I would, obviously, as it was JUST in time to see and hear her whisper to the first clerk, "I heard her say 5 pounds, too". WTF? IF I said 5 pounds, who cares. I had already apologized for my apparent transgression. And, it wasn't a big deal....until this nitwit felt it necessary to "justify" the first clerk's position on 5 pounds versus 5 20 pound bags. It was totally ridiculous, and I said so to the second clerk. I asked her why she would think it appropriate to make that comment in front of a customer? One that was spending $150 in her store on bird feed, I might add. She had the gall to say to me, "oh, no, you misunderstood, I was just saying that cause MY hearing was off, too". Oh, yeah, right.

So, I KNOW it stinks in retail. I know it. Sometimes, though, it stinks being a customer, too.
