Two Different Shopping Experiences

1) This Saturday, I went into Neiman Marcus (Maybe my 3rd time ever) and went up to the makeup counter. The woman says to me, "Oh, you poor thing, look at your skin! What in the world are you using on it?" followed by, "Look at Diana here, isn't her skin beautiful? She uses "such and such" line of products developed by a biochemist."

My response to bitch lady, "Well, even though my face looks like crap, I am really happy with my skin care products which were also developed by a biochemist."

Her response, "Well, MY biochemist is better than yours!"

Just kidding about the last part.

2) After the lady's disparaging comments, I walk into Saks, which is right next door, to the makeup counter. The lady says to me, "You have really nice skin. It just glows." "Really? Because it is really broken out right now." "Well, the tone and texture are just beautiful." She then made no effort to hard sell me any crappola skin care products.

Guess where I would want to spend my money? I actually didn't spend any $$, but I learned that criticizing someone in order to get them to buy products is always a horrible idea.

Madison to Dan this weekend, "Dad, I just feel like you treat me like your little girl still, like I am a three year old. I am almost 11 this week and it really bothers me!"

Let the hormones begin.
