It’s rainy, it’s gross, and my Hubby has declared “Scramble Season”. I am a golf widow. Dear Hubby has been sucked into a rabbit hole of “three AMAZING” golf tournaments. One each weekend for the entire month.
“Tourney’s I just can’t pass up”. He tells me while sporting his best puppy dog face. What does this mean for me? Duh retail revenge shopping of course. Passive aggressive behaviour at its best.
This also means if I walk into your store you might as well paint a target on my back. I am an easy sell.
Unless of course you are an idiot.
When I come into your sweet smelling bakery to stock up on fresh bread, you simply have to make sure there are bags available for me to put the bread in. Can’t bag it, can’t buy it!
I really wanted to buy those amazing boots that were incredibly overpriced, but when you tell me they make my feet look fat? Sale fail.
When I walk into your “boutique” and there are 3 salesladies doing nothing, and no one can even bother to glance my way? I’m pulling a Pretty Woman and taking my money elsewhere. Big mistake. BIG.
I get that you have to lock the change room doors so you can keep an eye on who is going in and out…but if your going to do that, have some staff back there to let the serious shoppers in! The more I try on the more I can love.
Oh and I do appreciate your opinion on the outfits I’m trying on but just cause I’m revenge shopping doesn’t mean I’m stupid. Even my 9 year old will tell you. I look fat in these pants.
Shopping trip summary, managed to get earrings for the girls, gift card for a Birthday, hand cream from Bath and Body Works and a coffee. Not one article of clothing for me. Heavy Sigh. It’s okay…still three retail revenge shopping weekends to go. I just have to steer clear of the sales prevention departments.
They really missed out then!
Love the Pretty Woman reference!
Customer service is terrible nowdays…I hate going shopping. I did do some shopping today and feel good about it, maybe it is because I had my hair done and I feel a little “hot”…lol!
lol.. I totally know what you mean about sales people like that. I have had things in my hands ready to buy and put them back because of aweful service. Love the pretty woman reference too 🙂 Hopefully next time you will have a more successful retail therapy revenge trip 🙂
Yep…gotta love the three women standing around. Either they won’t leave you alone, or you’re totally ignored. I agree. If they can’t even say “hi” no need to spend money in their store.
By the way, how can you feet look fat in boots? Just wondering.
I’m a football widow so I totally understand. I need some retail therapy too.
What are those places thinking???
this may be the single greatest reason i dont need to golf…besides potential property damage to peoples cars and people…
these sales people are pretty clueless…
Sales prevention. I love that.
How can your feet look fat????
Sales people should all have a special training class that teaches them how to treat people with respect. I hate the cashiers that act like you are bothering them. Honey, if people didn’t shop there, you wouldn’t have a job! lol
I employ a similar strategy when my husband is away. Guess you have a few more weekends left to find some clothes! 😉
my dh is big into golf too. I think it is the most boring sport ever and no I will never learn to like it. I just don’t see what is fun or interesting about it.
I need to try that, Revenge Retail! If only I could get him to play golf…
Loved the pretty woman reference!

I totally understand this kind of post. Shopping is fun but can be a pain. I just do not enjoy trying on things anymore. It is hard to find things that go with me. Have a great week.
My last shopping trip was similar. Pushy sales girls (I hate the insincere smiles and “let me tell you about our specials today”). Ugh. One sales girl asked me THREE times how it was going in the changing room.
I wound up with a new sheet set and a necklace for my sister.
