You Don't Believe Me?

 I'm not sure if I told you about this story:

A shoe store company always sends their promo on my email address. The promo ad is within interval of 5 hours per day. I have to delete those ads or promo from such company on regular basis. Then I saw something from their ad that impressed me and I went to that shoe store and find out for myself. I told my daughter that maybe I could find some nice pairs of shoes for her and me. We found two pairs, one pair of shoes for my daughter and a pump party shoes for me. Two good looking boys were at the till so we waited for our turn. The cashier/clerk asked the two boys the two (teens) if they want discount. The two teens obliged for what the cashier/clerk asked of them to give information: name, address, telephone number and email address. They gave the information to get the discounts, paid their pairs of shoes and left. Then our turn next. The cashier/clerk asked if want discount for the shoes I want to buy from their store. I said, "sure!" She asked my name, address and telephone number. I told her you know me already because I always buy shoes there and she already have those information. She doesn't believe me. I told her to check your computer and my name and address and phone number in their list of customers. She wants me to prove it, she wants me to show my cellphone. I said the promo ad was on my laptop. You want me to bring my laptop? I can tell you the code, told her. Their promo ad has code numbers. She seemed not believing what I'm saying. I told her,  "did I ask for discount?" It was you who asked me, relentlessly trying to persuade me to give information when you already have them. Told her it's okay I like those shoes even without discount. I bought the shoes and my daughter & I left the store.

Know what? After 3 weeks suddenly that shoe store closed and shut down!! Not only that, would you believe their company's branches in Canada and US closed down and shut down! Maybe too many complaints from customers. And you wonder why so many department stores closed and shut down?

Sometimes, it's just the worker or employees  you have to reprimand or terminate from their job if they are being such a bitch (sorry! bitch means MEAN as in being rude to customers) not that you have to shutdown your whole company.
