Earlier today, I went to Sally beauty supply. And no, I don't wear makeup nor did I need a curling iron.. I had to get a clipper guard. There was one female customer and the sales girl. I was standing behind the customer, while she was checking out, when she says "Are you safe in here by yourself?" and turns around and glares at me.. The sales lady, says yes I've been here all day. The customer looks at her and say's oh, than I take it this is you're friend. Sales lady say's no, he is a customer. The lady in front of me tightens up her grip on her purse and and says Oh.....(short pause) wow. I couldn't believe that she was insinuating that I was going to do something bad... So, I said "Actually miss, I was about to rob her and you are kind of slowing the whole process down".. By which was followed by a chuckle from the sales clerk. The lady just walked out to her car.. I couldn't believe it! Me? its not like I was wearing a wife beater with mustard stains and ripped jean shorts... I was in business casual. New shoes, polo shirt, and dress pants. I'm guessing she caught a glance at my tattoo? Anyone have someone pull something like that on you? I mean, I know that my good looks might intimidate some people... but a thief? lol
You handled it with a sense of humor. That was the best way to go... everyone involved... you, the sales clerk and the dumb ass customer in question... realized that the dumb ass customer in question was, indeed, a dumb ass.
Man, sadly, it's life....and some of us have to go through it , and some don't....it is what it is.
It was the Polo Shirt... Dude don't you know ? There are all kinds of gangbangers out there trying to clean up there image.. The new look is polo shirts and new shoes... Most of the really hard core gangs are targeting Sally Beauty Supply...
You can't fix Stupid... Trying just makes your head hurt.. Laugh it off and move along..
The only problem I have is with clerks that are about the same age as me. They are so rude and have an attitude despite how nice and friendly I am! SiD, I guess we can't help our good looks!!! haha! Muah!
