Really I agree with the others that the sale was therefore due to you!.<br /><br />Wow .. i don't work in sales.. in technology but the same thing really. The egos are amazing.. and exhausting and fed and encouraged by management's rewarding and punishing.. hahaha.. Just like you.. I have learnt to love being alone.. don't even want to see ppl after a week at work. Good thing there's blogging!<br /><br />Hang in there!

Good f...Way to grow where you're planted Renee! Good for you! Way to stand tall! Sorry I'm late to the venting party! Vent vent away! I know how you feel about working retail although I've never worked on commission? I do have mixed feelings about it when I shop. Sometimes I just like to look and dream (just leave me be and I'll STILL come back and ask for that person who treated me the way I wanted to be treated which is like a person not an UP to get their commission from. I've looked at more name tags or remembered more names at the beginning of a shopping visit than I care to talk about and have chosen to forget more). Other times I need the assistance (when I'm actually buying) but if I detect the slightest bit of false humility, pretense or manipulation, I won't buy from them....I don't care how much time I've spent. They have to genuinely care about the client and want to help with the right motive ...which is loving people, helping them get what they came in for (or help them find out what they're looking for...sometimes they don't know) and loving their job. I think these companies "under sell" "just the lookers" they ARE in fact potential buyers and not as stupid as they may think, a fake can be detected a mile away by shoppers!! I know, I know they often tell their employees "every person that walks through the door must "need" a piece of furniture....don't let them get away! LOL! As far as Medusa and Lunatic, they're everywhere and it only seems to be getting worse these days. Greed, jealousy and competition....how sad they rule so many....and it's all by choice!! If we're honest, we all have those feelings and that's just what they are feelings.....it's what we do with them that counts! We also have the choice to let other people's bad behaviors affect us or not (easier said than done)....it can be a process over and over again until no longer an issue but our choice how many times around the mountain. Keep being true to yourself and you can't go wrong. Sorry for the long dissertation! LOL!

I have really never (how lame am I?) put two & two together until now - the need to be a loner so that I have less need to please & free of drama..ha! The light bulb goes on! I am so proud of you for standing your ground & feeling zero remorse. The trouble with these kind of people is they make US feel guilty for their craziness and lack of cooth. I am sorry you had to put up with any of that crazy bitch attitude but I think you walked away @ the end of the day knowing you were the better person by a land slide.

It was very helpful that your client voiced that she did not want to work with the Lunatic. Oy....I am so sorry you have to deal with this kind of crap. That's when retail and commissions suck.<br /><br />From a shoppers perspective....I know there are times I want to just snoop around and know I am not interested in buying. I cannot stand being abducted by sales peeps and have been known to leave the store without really getting to look around.<br /><br />I realize some peeps need help and coaxing though.<br /><br />Well done Girl....proud of ya!<br /><br />xoRenae Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083827332206881787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-33230896814161362482009-09-23T17:09:05.018-04:002009-09-23T17:09:05.018-04:00OMG I love this story!!!
