I never thought something like this would ever happen...
So I'm at work today (I work at a pet store part time for some pocket change) and I am helping a really rude senior lady.
She's being awful the whole time - but hey it's retail... I just smile/nod try to get her the fuck out of there. No big deal.
Then she asks to see my e-ring... I limply hold out my hand so she can see because I'll be honest... I was fuming at this point... She had already called my other coworker stupid (who's my bosses niece and only 15) and she was just being a real pain in the ass with snippy comments.
Then she says something that sounds like "Oh it's custom"... I don't even say anything yet she keeps going... "Oh I have all these REAL diamond rings at home... Some REAL gemstone ones too" REALLY EMPHASIZING the word real. Then she goes as much as to say "You know my niece has a COSTUME ering too, I don't get you people" ... Then it hit me - she said costume not custom. Now my fiance worked his butt off to be able to afford the ring I have, so I was really taken back and mentioned "Oh, it's not costume ..."
Now let me tell you... This lady actually had the NERVE to tell me I was LYING. She said no way was it real, the diamonds are too clear yadada. Telling me I was ripped off and THE BEST PART... Someone who works here could NEVER have a ring like that...
Excuse me?! Fuck off.
I straight up told her... "You're ignorant and I will not be assisting you any longer" and she screams "Well I'm not the one who tries passing my rings off as real"
Now, I've had my ring appraised ... Plus I know where fiance got it since we have to go for 6 month check ups for the warranty. Lady I'm PRETTY DAMN SURE it's real, so just STFU.
I have been pissed off by this lady ALL damn day. I just can't believe the nerve... Plus why would it even be her buisness?!
We ended up not even selling the lady the harness she wanted and was told she wasn't welcome there. My boss stood behind me 100% because I'm an extremely patient person and she knows she must have really been NUTS.
UGH rant.
