AITAH for refusing to keep buying at a shop because the staff interrupt me while I was shopping
I am not a native English speaker, so I apologize for my weird English.
First, this happened when I was hanging out with a friend at a mall. While at the mall, I decided to enter a make up shop because sephora was the opposite direction of a book shop my friend and had decided to go to. Just checking, because if they have a good eyebrow pencil, why not buying it.
The shop was quite unorganized, because the make up was not arranged based on brand nor type of make up, so I was struggling to find the eyebrow pencil. Then, since I kept looking at this one shelf because I saw a row of eyeliner and mascara, one of the staff suddenly came and kept standing behind me. I wasn’t bothered by it at first, but she kept standing while staring at me from behind with a pout that made me uneasy. Then, I found the eyebrow pencil. Sadly, they only had one brand, so I checked on the tester and thought this is fine enough because the color is pigmented and the brush was good enough (my eyebrows are not thin, so I am not that really picky with the brand of eyebrow pencil).
After deciding, I decided to take the dark brown one. Then, suddenly the staff went beside me and had her hand just right in front of me. She was trying to sound friendly but of course I got offended by her hand gesture, but I tried to keep a smile on. With her awkward ‘friendly’ tone, she said to me, “we are sorry but only the black one is 10 dollar (lol, I am not American or from any country that uses dollar, so 10 is not even affordable price but cheap!!). The other colors are 12.”
I didn’t even notice the promo price tag they had on the shelves because I don’t give a fuck about the price. Then, I looked down on my clothes. Yeah, a jeans and baggy top that might made me look like random broke college student or high schooler. Idk, but I can say, me myself was not impressed by my own look that day. Then, I just nod and looked at her with awkward smile and said, “oh i see…,” while pulling back my hands (she still had her hand in front of me). She wanted to repeat her words, but before she can finish her sentence, like, “only the black one is 10, the other colors are—,” I raised my hand up to her face and walk out the shop.
I know I look disrespectful but I don’t think a staff from a random shop should put her hands in front of the customer when they are trying to reach for the thing. Still I think I was being too bitchy about it. Am I the asshole or what i was feeling was valid.
P/s: I ended walking to the opposite of the mall to go to Sephora. Lmao…
