if i were flexible enough, i would kick myself in the head for taking my sweet time to redeem the vouchers.
*digress*last month, i received a msg telling me that i have gotten myself a free limited edition shirt (
apparently worth 109 ringgit) from Pull and Bear. since it was in the evening and i needed to get some groceries anyway i just slipped on my staple denim shorts with a decent looking shirt and red flats.
walking into Pull and Bear i made a beeline to the counter where i took out my secondary phone (which is quite an old model) and showed the msg to the girl at the counter. so while i was filling out my details, she was blabbering away to another salesgirl (whoops, they are no longer called that isn't it, now they are SALES ASSISTANTS) when suddenly
YA I CAN TELL IF THEY WALK INTO THE SHOP JUST TO GET THE FREE SHIRTS, USUALLY YOU DONT SEE THESE TYPE AROUND HEREand smiled to me as she passed me the "limited edition" shirt.
i was thinking.
should i feel offended because its really offensive what she said? or am i being just a wee bit too sensitive?
after all, its not like we begged to get those shirts.
like yoki once said
ada rezeki jangan ditolak
even if she didnt mean to sound so insulting, shouldn't she have thought that saying it out so
LOUDLY would have made it sound worse than it really was?
you see, the irony of it all is that
i HAVE purchased clothes from there.
just because i walked in looking so selekeh doesn't mean i cannot afford to pay for your clothes, okay.
i dont really sound that pissed cuz this event happened a while ago.
but the thing is, i started thinking- does this mean i have to dress up BEFORE i walk into the shop? just so that they don't judge me and act as though i am not worthy to be in the shop?
oh please la. the shirt, while it was quite nice and colourful (and a cheap advertising gimmick since it says "I BUY FROM PULL AND BEAR") did not seem to me like it was worth 109 ringgit.
but i do love it. if there is a similar shirt with the same cutting available in pure black, pure white- i would buy it.
you see. there is a reason why she is the sales assistant.
obviously she lacks the tact needed for a better job.
*end of digress*so back to the Guess cash vouchers (urgh, i'm still feeling sore about it).
i was feeling abit appprehensive about walking into Guess in Highstreet- where all the shops are like omgwtfonlyinmydreams type so i purposely brought the cousin sister for support (see? paranoia).
walking into the shop (which is like a gazzillion times better and more expensive than Pull and Bear) i really feel so intimidated as i make my way to the counter.
i walked up to the guy behind the counter and asked him about the voucher and showed him the msg on my crappy but dependable secondary phone. and guess what?
i'm so sorry miss, but we only could give out vouchers to the first 30 people.. *shows list* i'm so sorry.. *smile*i kinda knew it cuz i went to redeem my vouchers 2 days after receiving the msg. but its okay i suppose- i have a funny feeling i would have to fork out more money to get a decent pair anyway :)
but the way he spoke to me was really so nice. this is the type of service one should be giving if one is working in a line that deals with customers.
Sales staff aside, i really really feel a great sense of loss when i did not get the vouchers.
Its okay. I may not even be able to use them anyway..i think.
I'll just wait for the next cash voucher offer to fall into my lap- and i'll be more kiasu next time :p
btw- i wanted to get myself a new pair of shoes from Vincci but they always don't have my size! its so frustrating! :(
and i walked the whole of pdi this morning and i couldn't find a single thing i liked.
their standard is going down the drain! bad designs, cheap materials, gaudy colours.. the only items which i think are still worth buying at the moment are their shoes.
its so frustrating because i have 80 ringgit cash vouchers and i can't find anything that i like enough to spend that sort of money on.
on top of that, they gave me two 40 ringgit vouchers, so i have to find items which must add up to 40 minimum or else damn wasted la..
why couldnt they have given it to me in 20s instead?
alright, im being such a bitch- sounding so ungrateful..
im not. just frustrated :( since my voucher expires in june, i hope that they have new stuff in may (or sales or something..)
or shoes that i like which are in MY size. please please please.
