A Nasty Saleswoman

There are so many different kinds of people in this world. Today I encountered a very unkind, nasty, mean, obnoxious woman. This happened at Macy's 2nd. Floor, Bridal section in Tyson's Corner II. I have been looking to purchase a concert dress lately, and today was going to be my last try no matter whether I found one or not. My husband and me wondered into this Bridal section, and saw a selection of dresses on sales. They are mostly samples. For me, as long as it looks fine, and I can play the piano in it, it is considered a good dress. So, I started going through them. After picking about 3 or 4 of them to try on, this lady (in her 50s maybe) approached us asking why I was looking for the dresses, and how soon I will need them... Before I could even answer those questions, she went on to say that, their sizes were smaller than usual, and she suggested that I probably would not be able to fit in them. She also said, that if I did find one that I could fit in, it would take more than 2 months to order it, although, if I wanted to buy it from here (meaning the discount section), it is ok too. While she was speaking to us, she was also giving us the most condescending look, and as soon as she finished, she walked away. My husband and me both were in shock. First of all, we did not ask for any one to help. Secondly, if you are going to help, do so. I have never heard of a salesperson telling a customer that he or she cannot fit into these clothes, and to go look for them elsewhere. I was so angry that even though I held in my hand at least 3 possibilities, I was not about to spend my hard earned money here. My husband took a quick look at me, and without having to speak to me, put the dresses back on the rack, took my hand and walked away. Maybe it was because both my husband and I were wearing jeans? Maybe it was because we didn't look like we could afford a dress? Maybe it was because I am a bit overweight?! (so?!) Maybe it is because I was not going to order 3, 4 or 5 dresses for my bridesmaids since I am married already? Maybe it was because she just didn't want to sell anything to me because I am Asian (it is not like she was born an American, she still has a thick accent)? None of these made any sense. If any of the above would cause her to speak to us and hint us to leave the place, then she should not be a saleswoman. Later of course I found my dress at Lord and Taylor. A bit pricey, but useful, comfortable and elegant. I promise that I will never set my foot in Macy's again. I will make sure I tell my family and friends about this. If a sales person at a big department store is allowed to treat a potential customer like that, then there is something wrong with their management.
