So, today I went to Cardiff and I dress like i normally do, jeans, Tshirt, and a Univesity Hoody Top. Went to House of Fraiser looking for a Gaggia Espresso machine as i know they have one on sale (which is still not cheap, it's £300 rrp). And I was in the Kitchen department looking for it, couldn't see it on the shelf therefore i went and ask the lady that works there who was just standing around. I ask if they have it in stock, and just the way she reply to me was really snappish and got a feeling that she thinks what am I doing here. I thought nothing of it until I notice when she was talking to another customers (who was dress in a jacket and trousers) much more polite and seem more helpful.
This kinda bugs me a little, I help my dad out sometimes in his resturant and I try to be polite to all the customers. Why should she treat me differently because I wasn't in smart clothing. I also notice that when I was working, which i wear a suit to work, I get treated a lot better in shops. Staff are more helpful, is this the way staff are trained now or something? Spot the ones that looks like they have money and squeeze them dry? May be it is just department stores, may be it's just me. But anyone found the same?
