I was browsing a jewellers shop window, looking at some nice opal drop earrings actually, and a guy went inside and as he did said to me, ‘you shouldn’t be looking in a jewellers shop window if you don’t even have a coat’, then looked down at the coat on my arm (I’d got too hot) and said ‘oh, you do, come in and we’ll take your money off you regardless’, and laughed.
I kind of gave him a perplexed, kind of confused half smile, but now I wish I’d him where to go as I’ve realised it’s actually quite insulting.
Why on earth would presumably the shop owner speak to a prospective customer like this? It’s just utterly baffling to me. I didn’t have make up on, but I was nicely and fashionably dressed, in new clothes, and I look after myself, I certainly didn’t look like I was down and out and unable to afford a coat!
AIBU to think he’s most likely a weird asshole who enjoys insulting women and only has himself to blame for losing a £400 sale?
