I think she ridiculed me when it was Christmas rush, and this old-school store had a policy that every sales person had to hand wrap what they sold, even hand-making an ornamental bow. I wasn’t even making commission, yet I still refused to wrap the items I sold and was asking for anyone else to do it for me, someone who wasn’t selling and was in the back. Their policy was the stupidest thing ever! There were customers waiting to buy something while I was supposed to be wrapping merchandise in the back. It was ridiculous. We were losing sales. Plus, my wrapping skills are horrible. The hand made bow pushed me right off the deep end.

The “you think you know everything” part really wouldn’t have bothered me, because yes, in this case, I did think I was right and the store was stupid and I told them so. But how she said “he shouldn’t marry you” really stuck with me.

C’mon, everybody knows you don’t leave customers waiting to buy that can walk out. You sell to them first then have them wait for their wrapped present from someone else who wraps it in the back. Plus, I wasn’t loud and obnoxious about my distaste for their policy. I politely refused to do it and pleaded for someone else to do it. I had to plead with these idiots for THEM to make money.
