Is this weird?

[AAP]

Ok, when I buy a pair of shoes.. no matter what kind they are (dress or tennis) I insist the salesperson lace them up before I leave the store. I simply NEVER lace up shoes. I mean, I can, but I won't. I feel if I am spending my money, it needs to be laced up when I get home. (Now I do tie them, but not lace them up from the bottom up).

So I get this salesperson today who doesn't want to do it. (I was purchasing $185 Cole Hanns). He was as amadant about not lacing them as I was about him doing it. I was like "you want to make this sale or not?" He was like "yeah, but I am not lacing up that other shoe". I was like "lace up this shoe dude" He was like "no." I was like "do it" and he was like "no."

To make a long story short, I called another salesperson over, gave them the box, they laced it up and took credit for the sale. On the way out, the first salesman called me "weird". So I stuck my tongue out at him.

I mean really, what nerve to tell me no. If I knew what he drove, I would have cut his tires.

 

[BileStew]

No, weird would have been if you asked him to "shoehorn" you.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Funny not weird I worked in retail for a number of years and hell yeah I would have laced up your shoes. I am still in sales and I bend over backwards to make the customer happy.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

please tell me while you were having this arguement you let your wrists go limp and took a high pitched voice with him and said "no honey, YOU will do it!"

 

[Buddy_Christ]

I am still in sales and I bend over backwards to make the customer happy.

so, uh, where exactly do you work?

 

[Sub-Zero]

hilarious thread!


you shoulda beat his ass for not lacing up your shoe


when he replied no to 'do you wanna make this sale" you shoulda said
"do you wanna get your ass beat, lace up th eshoe assfucK"

 

[AAP]

You would think he wanted to take credit for the sale. I am not suggesting he lace them up on while they were on my feet. But all he had was 3 eyelets to run it through, the other three were already started.

What a moron he was.

 

[Sub-Zero]

i agree..that shit pisses me off.

im no tjacked enough to say anything yet, bu ti look at them with sad puppy dog eyes and purposefully skip holes when i lace up my shoes

 

[starfish]

I'm the opposite. I have to lace my own new shoes up. I'm obsessive about making sure the strings are equal and not twisted on each side.

LMAO!

Whip his ass with the shoe he wouldn't lace up and then ask for another pair because "these are sort of scuffed up".

 

[string_bean00]

At K-Mart buying shoes this would be off.



But if you're paying $185 for shoes, they should lace them up if you ask.

 

[Sub-Zero]

or shove it up his ass and say you need a new pair cause you cant find the other one

 

[Sub-Zero]

and, considering what AAP looks like, if he asked them to lick his nutsack, they should comply

Blah Blah Blah and I bend over backwards

 

[Juicifer]

how did you tell him to do it? maybe he didn't take it like you meant it...maybe he thought it sounded silly and because your some jacked up juicer maybe he thought you were just trying to control him...either way if he is in sales and did not do it...he wont be in sales for long... what a punk

 

[FISHTALES]

saying they were $185 AND that they were Cole Hann was sort of redundant...on that note he should have tied them for you also.

 

[HumorMe]

The only part I thought was weird was when you stuck your tongue out at him.

 

[starfish]

You think we are all weird

 

[Lift Chief]

What is a man without his principals?

But do you bend forward to make the customer happy and to echo crak where do you work.

 

[CFZB]

yes ....yes it is wierd.

 

[Razorguns]

thing is. It was no longer ABOUT the laces. It was now a power struggle, to see who would blink first. And at $6/hr -- he probably couldn't give a shit.

I wasn't rude or anything. He actually laced up the first one and I tried it on. Stood up and said "yeah, I will take these. Do you mind lacing up that other one?"


And LMAO @ Razorguns

 

[crew9]

What is a man without his principals?

a man who doesn't get upset when he has to lace his own shoes

 

[Lestat]

are you gay?

 

[rnch]

evvaboddies diff'n't!!

 

[AAP]

I should go back buy slip ons and request he lace them up too.

 

[Whiskey]

I agree with starfish, I have to do it myself. I want them both perfectly equal length and if they have wide laces, they have to be perfectly flat.

Great, now I am tempted to ask them to do it for me just for kicks... thanks aap

[WODIN]

I find the sticking your tongu out thing weirder...but yeah it's weird.

I work as a waitress, and I have had stranger requests than that. Someone actually asked me to cut up their food for them before I brought it to the table. Did I bitch scream, curse, and yell? Of course I did (on the inside). To their face I said "Not a problem", went back and cut up their food for them. Made nice little bitesize pieces, and took it to the table. Hey I got a ten dollar tip off that table, so I say "anything for the customer".

surely you placed some sort of bodily fluid on the food?

wiping your ass with the bread roll would be the obvious one

 

[GoldenDelicious]

if it wasnt retail i would have slapped on an extra 20% in ballbreaker tax

No, I could never do that.

Is praying they choke on it a bad thing?

 

[dj1000]

They always put my velcro straps back in place before I buy my shoes.

dj1000----Dad???? Is that you?? ;-)
