Pass remarkable sales assistant??

[BitchinBlack]

So I took 16month old DS for a pair of new shoes today to a local shop. The sales assistant seen fit to comment "what?? He's not walking yet? (With a shocked look on her face) He really should be at that age"
DS is sofa surfing and walking with support he just hasn't taken of independently yet. I am absolutely livid and I gave her a good dressing down, so was I unreasonable??

You own a salon? What sort?

Should I be taking wine and chocolate to my local shoe shop at Christmas? Do people do that?

Oh my 😂

I wouldn't have been offended by that comment. I would have agreed with her!

My youngest son was 16 months before he showed any interest in walking, whereas his older brother and sister were both around 12 monrhs old.

I don't see why it made you so mad? It's just a bit of small talk. I actually think YOU were the rude one to make such a fuss.

Are you telling me that no one on her buys their husbands shoes?? I find that hard to believe. The reason why I sometimes do is for presents and also they sell a good brand of a work boot that suits my husbands job.

All this thread needs is the Daily Mail publishing it haha

I think I'm going to be the only one to agree with OP here. It was a stupid thoughtless remark. I'm glad she got a dressing gown down . She won't forget in a long time. OP hope your dc begins walking soon.

You tip in a shoe shop and think people shouldn't discuss matters above their pay grade? You sound exceptionally entitled op.

If you work in customer service then you need some training my love.
So the dressing down you stated didn't happen and you just decided to lie about that for effect. You are anything but snooty, yet talk about lower pay grades.
You sound so full of shit.

Oh OP, come on. Just admit she touched a nerve and stop digging.

You're coming across as completely obnoxious (and someone who lies about tipping shoe shops randomly) when maybe the truth is much more sympathetic?

Why would i buy his shoes??
Their his shoes

I can honestly say i have never bought my dhs shoes

Thanks DIYNOVICE
The sales assistant will hopefully think before she speaks the next time.

For once I truly hope the daily mail finds a thread.

Oooh, get you...

Helpful input:- you CANNOT go around being the batshit lairy woman at anyone who is accidentally a bit tactless. You just can't.

I generally tip anyone in customer service that does a good job. I'm shocked that more people don't??

Future - me too 😂

She was brainlessly commenting on something well above her pay grade.

you sound very mean. Why are you posting if you know you're not BU?

Pass Remarkable. That is a new one on me and I too am Scottish. Can't figure out how to use it in everyday life but I shall do my utmost to rise to my pay grade to do so, but only in my own salon

Not snooty here, either.

Your attitude is as tacky as your username

And 17 months is late, prem twin parental input for ya' there sweetie.

I bet they were pissing themselves laughing when you left the shop, but are still looking forward to the box of Black Magic and bottle of Black Tower (See what I did there?) you'll be blessing them with at Christmas

I generally tip anyone in customer service that does a good job. I'm shocked that more people don't??

Do you frequent Harrods often OP?

OP: aibu
everyone else: yes..
one player in the wilderness: no

OP: I knew it! My superiority complex has been validated!

OP it is literally no one fault that your DS isn't walking yet. Don't project your feelings about it onto sales staff.

People like you are so unpleasant op. Looking down on others because of where they work. Assuming they have no intelligence because of where they work and how much they earn.

I can't remember the last time I read a thread where the OP was so up themselves. This has to be a wind up.

YY Daily Mail where are yoooouuu!!

It is not normal to tip people in retail. Most would not be able to accept. How much to you give them?
