"Ya'll got a parcel!"
So, I feel the need to rant. As many of you have seen, I just recently got my hair cut. Think Velma Kelly in Chicago. It is very cute and it took a lot of weight off, and evened up the ends quite nicely. Now, two of these three incidents I feel I can blame on my new cuteness. The third I just have no idea about.
Twice in one week I was asked out at work. Both gentlemen were over thirty five, and one was most definitely the father of a 16+ year old.
The first guy came in to work about 5 or 6 days ago and asked me to put a pin in his watch, then asked me out to dinner. After I'd responded that I had a live in boyfriend, he started asking me questions about how Nic treats me, if our relationship was stable, if we'd been together long, etc.
The second guy came in yesterday, and wanted to buy a watch, which he did. I could tell he was interested in more that time pieces and when he asked me if I liked the Star Wars series, I should have known to say no. He proceeded to tell me about the Sith tattoo he had on his left bicep which I could tell if I didn't shut him up he never would. As such, I told him my boyfriends daughter considered herself a Sith. He paid for the watched and asked me multiple times if I was sure I had a boyfriend.
My question is, do I have a label on my forehead that says, "If you are creepy, take me home!" or "No means YES!"....????? If it's there, let me know, and I'll get it removed.
Three days ago an older gentleman, between 75 and 80, came into work carrying one of our $140 messenger bags, which had clearly been worn before, yet still had the tag on it. He told me that his wife had just died and that he was wondering if I could do anything to help him with the funeral expense, stating that before her death his wife had purchased the messenger bag at our store. I asked him if he had the receipt and he said no, so I told him I could not return it for him, and at most get him a store credit. At which point he said, "Not even $20?" I think my jaw fell open. When I told him no, he said, "And you're the manager?" Yup. Before he walked out he said that his wife had purchased all these things and left the tags on them, so he was trying to return them all. First of all, no retail store in their right mind will return anything to anyone without a receipt stating how you paid to avoid a loss. Secondly, he was clearly lying. He didn't look at me once while he was talking to me. Sick.
Fortunately no one oogled my boobies more than normal today, but there is always tomorrow...
