At this rate, we will have to eat it tartare without a nice Chianti.
Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yes, I know what your products are like. Yes, I know what a melt is. I assume there are new bath bombs, that's why I'm going over there to smell them. Please leave me alone. Yes, I love Buffy too. How are there 14 sales people in a 150 square foot shop? Leave me alone. Please, I'm fine, thank you. If I need anything I'll ask. Yes, I know where I can find you. Great, thanks. LEAVE ME ALONE OH MY GOD ONE MORE PERSON SPEAKS TO ME AND I'M WALKING OUT OF HERE.
I have walked out of a Lush when that happened. I told someone to leave me alone, and someone else started talking to me. I told that person to leave me alone, and someone else started talking to me. And I gave up.
LEAVE ME ALONE OH MY GOD ONE MORE PERSON SPEAKS TO ME AND I'M WALKING OUT OF HERE.
That is so exactly the Lush experience.
At least at Teavana (I presume), even if you've been there before there's potentially a ton of stuff you won't know about. I know where the goddamn bath bombs are.
I have found with Teavana, if you walk in with purpose and talk to the person at the tea desk, you get less of the woo-woo.
Lush? I haven't found counter measures. I try hard to walk in, grab what I want and get to the check out desk as fast as I can but I still get accosted.
I'll echo what everyone else said about immediate vs. long-term help.
Yes, so much of this.
I accidentally taught a coworker a new word: fellatio. She had to ask another dispatcher what it meant before giving out the call.
Wait, that was a piece of info on a call? Was someone doing it wrong?
Not a funny story :( I needed a radio-polite phrase for blow job, thought it was super funny that the lesbian mother of two had no idea what that phrase meant.
Trudy, I will not go back into the Teavana in the mall because of the predatory salesfolk.
Amen, sister. I had to do a scathing Yelp complaint about the last Teavana I went into. I am the expert in aggressive walk and that does not phase the Teavana people I have been in contact with. They also ALWAYS over-measure. "I said I wanted 2 oz, asshole, don't give me 4."
