When the (presumably commissioned) SA at the boutique says over-enthusiastically - but with pinch - "Ooooh, that top is sooooo cute!", the subtext is: on the absurdly svelte woman with the cut arms who bought it yesterday.
Nothing drives me crazy as sales people bullshitting clueless, awkward young girls.
It's so unnecessary.

Never trust a sales person - it's their job to sell, not to tell you the truth.
ReplyDeleteAw, that is sad. I rather distrustful of sales people in general and prefer it when they ignore me...which they often do.
ReplyDeleteVery true, very true..... Last time I trusted a sales person I came out looking like Rondald McDonald.
ReplyDeletethis happens ALL THE TIME. one sales lady over did it with me when she exclaimed: I LOVE YOUR HAIR! OH LOOK AT YOUR BAG! AND YOUR BRACELET! YOU HAVE SUCH STYLE! i walked away. barfaroni.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with ya sister.
ReplyDeleteGod I hate it. I HATE when you look at some garment and they say "Oh this is really popular!" like that would make you MORE interested, instead of LESS.
ReplyDeleteCC: I was on my soap box!
ReplyDeleteImogen: Occasionally you find a really principled SA (often the shop owner) and that is a joy, no?
Rebecca: I know, I like to go to them when I'm ready.
GJ: Ha! I find that hard to believe...
drollgirl: It's the disingenousness...
Dr. M: We're like one person :-)
Sister: Oh, I know! Like "You're going to see this on everyone" is a selling feature.
