I think I’m very polite and patient with sales assistants because I used to be one, but yesterday evening one really got under my skin.

I had an eye test done at an opticians, which was great. I had a voucher so it was a real steal – the only downside was that I had to sit down with a sales assistant afterwards so they could try and get me in some new glasses.

I didn’t mention that I actually sell frames, I just explained that I’d like to have my own reglazed because I’m fond of them. She said that was fine but that it would be far more expensive than just buying a new pair.

What? Huh?

She ‘explained’ that the would need to order special lenses, use a special machine, and spend ‘much longer’ cutting lenses for my own frames. This is just flat out untrue. Every lens has to be specially cut for every frame. If I buy their glasses it was cheaper than buying lenses for my own. Not only is this deceitful – it’s hugely wasteful!

I don’t mind that they want to charge more for doing different work – it’s the lying. And it wasn’t ignorance on her part – she was an optician.

It really irritated me. I was polite and feigned ignorance and said I would think about it.

when you buy an item for $100 but it ends up costing you $120 after USD to CAD exchange rate

Was in an american apparel retail store, Guy was asking why button downs fit large and t-shirts fit slim as he was having trouble sizing and such. Instead of just saying something about different patterns, different fits for different materials, knit vs woven, whatever...

"Well all our stuff is made in the USA without any sweatshop labor, so there's going to be mistakes being made because....."

wtf. Nice case for getting jobs in America. Would've been way better to just say "QC isn't too great, and patterns are pretty different from piece to piece..." oof.

[IsaiahSchafer]

Yeah it's all made in the U.S. (minus multibrand stuff like the casios they carry, umbrellas, soaps, magazines). The amount of "hidden" or "back end" stuff on the american apparel site will really surprise you. (well, it surprised me-- it's all easily accessed but most people never have the need or want to)

i can easily deal with people who are angry in retail but its the ones who """know""" my job better than I do that get to me.

Yesterday I had a guest complain that "I wouldn't look up her redcard so she could save %5" but there is literally no way to look it up. I mean wouldn't it be a HUGE breach of security if i had access to your bank information/credit/debit card with just your phone number or SS#? "you and i both know that you can look it up so why aren't you doing it" just stop

"well can at the very least, can I get a coupon for all the time you've wasted?" :/ sure $3

"is that it?"

I HAD NEVER BEEN MAD AT GOOGLE UNTIL I HAD TO RESET MY SYNC PASSPHRASE AND THEY PHRASED HOW TO RESET IT DIFFERENTLY WITH EVERY LINK YOU FOLLOWED AND IT WAS AMBIVALENT. DON'T SAY TO "RESET SYNC" IF YOU REALLY MEAN "STOP AND QUIT SYNC, AND START COMPLETELY OVER AFTER SIGNING OUT" AGHGHGHGHH I SIGNED UP WITH COMCAST WITH MORE EASE. I'VE PUT TOGETHER TWO IKEA BEDS!! TWO! WITH NO DIVORCE!!!

getting shit delivered w/ USPS is so hit-or-miss when you move

i've been at this address for about a month, have had no problems w/ UPS or FedEx, but i've received no mail. i don't get much mail, so i wasn't particularly alarmed, but i have a few packages en route that were sent within the week, and who knows if they'll get to me or if they will be returned to sender
