Desperate at Dillards

Anthony and I were out at the mall doing some Christmas shopping this week. We wanted to get nice leather gloves for his dad. We made our way to Dillards and we asked the saleslady where they were at. She took us to the gloves and asked if we needed any more help. I said no, and started browsing the gloves. We found a pair we liked, and less than a minute later the lady came back over to us (she was totally hovering) and said she could ring us up. I told her 'thanks' but 'we are still shopping.' Anth and I continued to shop, and I told Anthony we should look at hats for his brother. A second saleslady overheard us and said 'follow me. I'll take you to the hats.' So we followed her, and browsed the hats. We didn't find any we liked, so she second lady was all, 'I can ring up the gloves for you!' Again, I was like 'WE ARE STILL SHOPPING!' It was awkward, but we kept on shopping. We headed over to the athletic department, and the first lady was following us about 10 feet back. I could totally see her, and felt really annoyed. Not even kidding she came back over to us and asked if we were ready to check out. I was getting pretty frustrated and told her, 'I don't want to be rude, but we will find you when we are done shopping!' The woman then whispered, 'Do you promise I can check you out? It's just that I told the other saleslady I was helping you first and she said 'well I am helping them now, so I don't care.'" I looked at the lady and said, 'I promise you can ring us up when we are ready to go.' A few minutes later Anthony and I were done shopping so we started to look for the first saleslady. The second saleslady aka the Vulture came over to me and said 'I will go ahead and ring you up.' I told her 'It's okay. Someone else was already helping us.' The lady about died, but walked away. I found the first lady, and she rang up our gloves with a smug, yet relieved, smile on her face. All I can say is that I hope all that was worth it for her. It was only a $35 sale!

  1. Haha love it, have you ever seen "Love Actually" (don't judge me I've only seen the edited version) anyway they have a funny interaction with a guy when he buys a piece of jewelry or something and it takes forever! Anyway, watch it...it's a good holiday flick!
