Thoughts on high-end shoe salespeople RANT

[wdead]

Diablo, this is the best post I have seen you make in months. I often feel this way when stupider people tell me what I need to do with my time.

I love coming back from the bathroom to a freshly-folded napkin.

I have five pairs of shoes, and they don't have names like "Lakai Limited Edition West Coast", they're just: "sneakers", "dress shoes", "flip flops", etc.

Diablo, I have a pair of shoes trees that were custom made, in the shape of my feet, to go along with my custom made shoes. They're pretty sweet.

i sorta got with the shoe analogy, i totally get it with car salesman and wait staff in nice places to dine.

i had a funny experience like that at picasso in bellagio and i started thinking the same way, WTF, i got a waiter being a condescending prick and i am the one shelling out $500 for dinner, huh?

anyway nice points made about this subject and maybe you do need a nap. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

add high-end clothes and apparel salespeople too

I was alone buying my g/f at the time some bag at holt renfrew and the salesperson (gay of course - gay people tend to be much more judgemental in this respect) was like "(in lisp of course) tssssss ummmm....I think that number is a little pricey for you"

Props to Boyd's for using the word "optimal" in their sales literature (page 6). Minus half credit for using it incorrectly.

[/ QUOTE ]Standard response is let what he said linger a little and think about it. You might wanna show the corners of a serious wad of bills out of your pocket too, if you carry them. Then you say very indifferently "Guess you're right, I was thinking of buying a DOZEN like. But nah". And turn around to stroll out.

Remember, they are snobs but they still work on commission.
