A Select Style Of Bad Attitude
(I work in a retail sporting goods store, where we sell a variety of footwear. Requests for men’s size 14 shoes occur frequently. Though the styles are limited, we do carry this somewhat uncommon size.)
Me: “Can I help you find anything, sir?”
Customer: “No. You don’t have what I need.”
Me: “Well, if you let me know what it is, we might.”
Customer: *clearly skeptical* “I need size 14 shoes.”
Me: “Oh, we do actually carry them! I know it’s a tough size to find, but we do have 14s in select styles—”
Customer: *cutting me off mid-sentence* “’Select styles’ just means ‘no.’” *walks away without waiting for an answer*
(I’m still not sure how he expects to find shoes with that attitude!)
