This Piggy Shopper decimation was sent into Retail Hell Underground by Susan. It's an encounter we can all relate to:
Dear Retail Hell Underground
I have to vent. Enjoy the story.
I
have just had a customer – mother with toddler – come in and sit down
on the seat to have his feet measured.
As she waits for me to get my
measuring guide, she proceeds to dust herself off of thousands
of crumbs, onto our floor.
Both her and the child are absolutely
covered.
She apologized and said ‘We’ve just had a scone’ (it was more
an explanation than an apology though).
Would you not shake yourself
clean in the carpark? (we are not in a mall, the cars are parked right
outside).
There was an actual inch square chunk of scone along with
small and medium sized crumbs all over our floor.
I had to go and get
the brush and shovel before her child could try anything on as it would
have been mashed in and tracked everywhere.
At least she bought the
damn shoes I tried on him, and she didn’t hang around.
That is a small
mercy.
I was swearing so much at her out the back I was afraid she
might have heard me (my colleague said you couldn’t hear me out the
front, phew. I was really letting her have it).
Unbelievable.
I just
can't think how this could ever be considered an acceptable way to
behave, but then I'm just a civilized human being, what would I know.
I always get someone like this just after my day off when I’m all zen just to bring me back to the reality of being a shopgirl.
Keep up the good work at Retail Hell Underground!
Susan
