Clerk Conspiracy
Target Sucks!
Backstory: shorts bought on Saturday for $17.99, no receipt because a friend got them for me.
Scene: Clerk says she can only give me $12.99 for the shorts, I cannot exchange them because the price has gone down to $14.99, but they are running a special later in the week for $12.99, so that is all I can get is a $12.99 store credit.
Redemption: None! Target sucks – I tell clerk I won’t shop there again – she says she doesn’t care.
GNO Cyclery Clerk Sucks:
Backstory: friend picks up bike shorts in my size but they don’t fit, have receipt, but no tag.
Scene: Clerk says no way we can do anything for you because you took the tag off. Sorry. Gives me a look like I’m a piece of shit even though I spend money there all the time.
Redemption: Female clerk walks up and says can I help you? Takes shorts, gets me new shorts, same price, she says, even exchange. I’ll shop at Bayou Bikes even though second clerk was human.
Dina’s Alterations – Not a clerk but an angry seamstress. Why is she always so angry?
Backstory: taking two capri pants to stitch up moth holes, ambivalent about going to this seamstress down the street because she’s so mean.
Scene: Mean woman says “why you want to fix these pants, cost you $5, not worth it.” I said I don’t care if it cost $5. She gets angry, says, “they no last.”
Redemption: She clucks a couple of times, and says she’ll do it. Hates me, I can tell.
