Hello Everyone...there are soooo many things that drive me crazy, but I can only think of a few right now. So, I'll have to keep you posted. Here are a few to start with...

TRAFFIC: They are called TURNING LANES and they're there for a reason!!!

CUTTING IN LINE: I feel you lifesaver! I live in Tucson, Arizona and work retail. Many of the wealthy Mexican Nationals come up to shop with us and feel that they can cut in line or interrupt at anytime. In fact, one time while I was helping a woman another woman completely interrupted us! I answered her quickly and turned away as I continued to help my original customer. She was a little upset and took some of our skincare to another counter, but OH WELL!!!
I really don't care about the sale. I would rather lose the sale than to deal with rude people!!!

RETAIL: This one's for you ZTAangel!!!
***I work at a cosmetic counter. (Oh the stories I could tell!!!). Something that drives all of us (at the counter) crazy...and I'm sorry if I offend you ladies...is when women ask for a foundation and they tell us that they wear XYZ (color of foundation) in ABC (another cosmetic line). Here is what we would like to say... Oh, OK let me just grab our CONVERSION chart and I'll tell you what color (and type of foundation) you need in THIS cosmetic line. NO, NO, NO!!! This is not how it works!!! We do not know every kind of foundation and foundation color of other cosmetic lines. We are ONLY trained in the line that we work for.

I'll end this for now, but be ready for more cosmetic stories. Ya know, it's ironic that so many people think cosmetic women are mean or snobby, but the fact of the matter is, "we" are just weary of what NUT we might have to deal with next. Man, even our executives from Phoenix have commented on the weirdos we get down here. I don't mean to sound mean, but we really do deal with VERY INTERESTING people.
