Had a terrible (confusing) experience with a algerian page owner on insta !
I’m really thinking of reporting algerian page somewhere just because I’m hurt. I wouldn’t normally say that, but their attitude is honestly unexplainable.The story goes: I contacted this personal shopper who buys things from Zara, H&M, etc. I reached out politely: “Hi, blabla can you get me these items, and how much would they be?”She replied about two of the items and asked about the third. I then asked her if she could get them from a certain website because it was cheaper. That was the turning point. She directly said, “I don’t buy khorda.” Mind you, this is a well-known site in the EU, and I was buying high-end makeup.
I took a step back and started politely explaining that the site was legit and that they had great offers. Last month, I even bought a bag there for 50% off. She then said, “Then buy it yourself. Why are you here?”(I had previously used another incredible page to buy from, but they’re sadly closed during the summer, so I came to hers.)I sent her a voice message apologizing if I had offended her, because maybe I had unintentionally sounded like a smart-ass. I basically just wanted to smooth things over because I still wanted to buy those items.
She then said, “You should be sorry.”I apologized again and said, “Salam alaykom,” which she replied to using the same wording.
I’m actually proud of myself because I acted in a way I’ve always admired in others. I protected my energy instead of mimicking hers. But honestly, it still left a really bad taste in my mouth.
