Petty, Petty, Petty Revenge

Picture of the Day for 11/8/2013. I was at an office store buying some supplies for an upcoming speech therapy conference when I saw a package of colored Sharpies on sale for half price. I love colored Sharpies! I had to have them! But that's a side note. This blog entry is about how store clerks frequently react to me. When I brought the Sharpies to the counter I noticed the clerk was practically fawning over the customer in front of me. When it was my turn, the clerk became very businesslike and rather unfriendly. This happens to me a lot. I honestly don't get it. I'm always friendly and smile so it's not like I'm giving off hostile vibes. I got a little bit of revenge for the clerk's bad customer service. I noticed she hadn't asked me if I had a rewards card like she had the previous customer so I waited until she was done ringing up my order before I said, "Oh, by the way, I have a rewards card." She was forced to ring up my purchase again and she was NOT happy. It was extremely petty on my part, but it sure made me feel better.
