AUDACITY!
a break from the rubbish of the personal lives of my friends and i. i cannot believe what just happened. a woman bought a pair of prada flats on sale at my work a few weeks ago. she is very lovely and i kind of appreciate her beatnik lifestyle. i don’t hold it against her that she can only afford to sale shop-these days who is paying full price for anything? anyway, she came in today while we were busy helping other people. and-i am not lying-she sat down and took off the said prada flats and put her sweaty feet in the air to show my co-workers and me (and everyone else in the store) that her new shoes have bled onto her feet. here’s the thing-her feet were so sweaty. like as if she walked in a river. absolutely nasty. so her point was, she wanted her money back because she said the shoe are defective.
ok. the shoes are not defective. and who doesn’t know that new shoes might dye your feet the first couple of times you wear them. especially if you have a sweating problem. money back? no way! my co-worker nicely tried to tell her that if she wore a little ped the problem would certainly cease. apologies were offered to her, but we explained that there hasn’t been any complaints with that particular shoe, in fact it was a best-seller.
so how does she retaliate? declares she will tell the world how awful the brand is. she will make sure she shouts from her rooftop that no one should shop in our store again. she yelps that these shoes just bring up such bad memories for her she can’t even look at them. she is dumping them at our front door because they cause her such distress.
lady-your feet were sweating and shoes bled alittle. you got them at 75% off. if it makes you feel better to attempt to sabotage a small business simply trying to stay afloat during this economic tsunami, knock yourself out. but remember-what comes around goes around. ryan adams sings it best.
