You know this reminds me of last year Xmas time .
I was at macys in the perfume/cologne department.
Some lady age approx late 60's which is not important and she says in a snooty tone this to me " may I help you or are you just browsing or buying " .
I just got off of a 17 hr shift wearing my scrubs , face a bit scruffy , wearing a camo hunting jacket
.
I said yes ma'am I would like to buy 2 perfume boxes and 1 cologne gift box of the .......
I was buying my mom and sister in law the women's fancy box set w the perfume with lotion w what ever else is in the box set and a cologne set for my brother .
The lady says to me " uhhh each box set is over 100 dollors " and laughs at me .
I pulled out my wallet and laid out 3,000 dollors on the counter and said to her
Well ma'am I'm glad I have here 3,000 dollors to buy those items with plenty more to spend on the other presents I have to get today and I'm also glad that I have a nice paying job as a registered nurse that allows me to be able to afford to buy nice gifts at Christmas time for my family .
She then has a completely changed attitude and says Ohhhhhh let me show you what's in this year for woman's fragrances.
I said no ma'am I've heard and seen enough from you and tough that you work on commission maybe I do not know but I'm not buying a thing from you .
I talked to the manager who was probably 30's. Very nice gal.
She was nice and allowed me to buy the fragrance from the nice gay man working upstairs
People shouldn't judge people for sure . I'm nothing to look at and look scruffy at times and don't dress the nicest but you never know when someone works hard or has something to give or spends
Sorry about your experience as well
