Oh man, thank you for introducing me to such a fabulous site! I'll have to add this to my bookmarks, right below http://clientsfromhell.net/

I almost never get annoyed or upset with SA's, no matter how they treat me. Odds are they have been treated much worse, several times during the day, so I cut them a lot of slack.

Im really glad you like it! I think you have a great attitude about the SA's....I worked retail for over 20 years and I tell you that you are dead-on with your assesment!

I work part-time in a clothing store and have been asked "what size is a small?" and if I could try on a top for a customer because "you're about the same size as my pregnant sister-in-law." Note that I'm not pregnant.

Ang, that's the most dreadful thing I ever heard.

I worked in a boutique toy store once where a long-time customer ARGUED with a fellow S.A. (who was very self-conscious about her weight) over whether the S.A. was pregnant! As in:

Woman: Oh my, dear, when are you expecting?
SA: I'm not.
Woman: Oh, now don't be shy!
SA (through gritted teeth): I'm NOT pregnant.
Woman: What are you, four or five months along?

At this point our male manager chimed in with "Can I help you find something, Mrs. Duda?" Yes, her last name was Duda.

NIGHTMARE!

Actually, "what size is a small" sounds like a legitimate question to me. Sometimes a small equals a 4, sometimes it's 4-6 or a 6-8 and most recently I've seen small corresponding to 2-4.

Funny site!

Hm, I have some stories I could add to that site (I don't work retail, but customer service is much the same wherever you go)! Thank you for the LOLs -- nice to know I am not alone.

That conversation reminded me of one I overheard at a burger joint a couple of weeks ago.

A guy walked up to the counter and in all seriousness asked what the difference was between the regular burger and the cheeseburger.

Um...cheese?

Anyone else want to help me hunt down Mrs. Duda and sit her down for a stern etiquette lecture? Una, that's so appalling!! Good for yoru manager for rescuing your coworker.
Great site, thanks for sharing!
