I popped into the jeweller Warren James this morning, looking for a Christmas gift for my mum. As I was headed to work, I was dressed in my work clothes; I wasn't a scruffy mess, but I wasn't dressed to the nines either.
The first member of staff to notice me just looked at me and immediately turned away. Not a word to me, just complete blanking. Like I wasn't worth looking at or was too disgusting/ugly/badly dressed to bother with.
If I hadn't wanted a specific thing from Warren James, I would have walked out right there and then. And even though what I wanted was sold out, I got something even better from a ''much'' nicer member of staff who didn't blank me on sight.
