They’re Usually Nicer To Patrons At Museums

Employees, Jerk, Mall, Retail, USA | Working | May 15, 2020


My best friend’s birthday is coming up and I am looking for a birthday present. I go to one pretty popular makeup shop that has various brands and sells them at an acceptable price. As I am browsing through the products and swatching eyeshadow from the tester, I am approached by one of the people who works there.

Employee: “What are you doing?”

Me: “Oh, just looking. I don’t know what I want to buy yet, if anything.”

Employee: “Well, stop looking. You’ve been here for five minutes! Either buy something or get out! This is not a museum!”

Me: “Okay. Have a nice day.”

I haven’t walked into that store in two years.
