I had the most bizarre (and funny) customer interaction of my life yesterday. I was helping a customer, and was in a bit of a bad mood which I guess showed, and anyway, she didn't like it. so she asked me for my name and I told her, knowing what was coming next, which was: I don't like your attitude. so I was like "what? what attitude?" and she was like "you've just been really bitchy with me?" (bitchy? not my choice of words. try hostile, or aloof). so I said: oh really? what did I say that was bitchy? and she said: just your whole attitude. and im like: but what did I
say? (because I know full well that I didn't say anything bitchy and good luck trying to make a complaint about me when you cant articulate in what way I've been bitchy). and so she lets out with a high strung sounding declaration: I think you're just jealous because im prettier than you! so I was like: that's a bizarre thing to say. and then, without missing a beat, and in my best queen of france voice: besides, I would never be jealous of anyone so much older than me. to which she goes: im only 35! me: *squints at her* *smirks* oh.... *looks away* okay....
she was so rattled! for my part, I felt invigorated. seriously though, who the f*** over the age of 12 says something like that: you're just jealous because im prettier than you? how does one even respond seriously to that? it didn't help matters that she was completely unremarkable looking in every way, not the type whose looks you develop an opinion of, let alone an attitude towards, on first meeting. sorry babe, this is how I treat everyone, you aint special!
