Have you ever been ignored at the retail store counter?

Question

If so what did you do?

Did you buy the item, leave it or make a scene?

Answer 1

Yes, I have been ignored once when I was in my early teens. Messenger bag, streaked hair and flip-flops.

I walked away because I didn't believe in giving my business to someone who ignored me. She has just lost a brand-loyal client and commissions that she could have earned from me and my friends.

Answer 2

I've been ignored..Just yesterday I was at the counter and the lady joins in on a conversation with some other worker. I would have just walked away, but had to get a money order.. HOW RUDE!!

Answer 3

Yes, the Clerk was talking on cell to what appeared to be a friend. I tried to make eye contact to indicate i was ready.
The clerk just keep angling to avoid the eye contact.
When the clerk was ready ,about a minute or so, he finally
rang up my purchases. Instead of paying up, i said
" I changed my mind and didn't want the stuff " and left.

Answer 4

Yes I have, I waited and bought the item. Obviously the clerk was having a very bad day and started smiling again when someone was polite and courteous to them. Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you

Answer 5

no, i stole the item, only joking. but really, no, i have never been left hanging by a retail store counter person.

If they are busy I will wait and be nice to them. Otherwise, if they are intentionally ignoring me I will make faces at them to let them know they irritated me!
