Two days ago. Jewelry department. This happened:
A woman, browsing some of the cases. I was with another customer, so as soon as I was done with her, I went over to the woman waiting. She has her cell phone plastered to her ear, but she is not talking, so I assume that she may be on hold. I ask quietly, but loud enough for her to hear, "Can I help you with anything?"
She responds by giving me an exasperated face, and holding her finger up (you know, when you hold up 1 finger to indicate 'hold on just a minute'--yeah, that one) which kind of irritates me. If you're in my department (one specifically, where all the merchandise is in locked cases) and I ask if you need to help, get off your damn phone. Anyway. I stand there, for almost a full five minutes--do you realize how long that really is? It's ridiculous.--and after said 5 minutes, she hangs up, turns to me and says, "No thanks. I'm just browsing."
I want 5 minutes of my life back, please. I had other stuff I could have been doing instead of pretending not to listen to one-half of your unnecessary phone conversation.
