DRESS SHOP VENT!! (long)

Original post by ThongLori

I am starting to scope out dress shops, as I will begin looking seriously in about a month or so. I work in Manhattan right near the Bridal Building and we got out early today for summer Fridays. So, I figured I would go check it out. Here is what happened at one of the boutiques there (in movie script form):

ME:
(Buzzing the door to the shop)

SALESGIRL:
(Opens the door a few inches and pokes her head out)
Can I help you?

ME:
I wanted to come and look at dresses.. I'm sorry, is your shop by appointment only?

SALESGIRL:
(Still with door mostly closed and head poking out)
Well what are you looking for?

ME:
(Puzzled)
Um, I am looking for a wedding dress. The door says you sell wedding dresses.

SALESGIRL:
(Still with head poking out the door, nastier tone)
Well what kind of dress?

ME:
(Angered, and starting to fume)
I need a big WHITE dress for my WEDDING.....

SALESGIRL:
(Finally opens the door and lets me in)
Well do you know what style dress you like?

ME:
I *don't* like strapless, I like bateau or boat neck.
(Another salesgirl emerges).

SALESGIRL #2:
(Confused)
Ummmm, well why don't you want strapless?

ME:
Well, to be honest I have a large chest and I feel more comfortable not wearing strapless.

SALESGIRL #1:
(Staring at me like I have a third leg)
Well is your ceremony super religious or something? Is that why you don't want strapless?

ME:
(Fuming)
I. HAVE. BIG. BOOBS. I. DO. NOT. WANT. STRAPLESS.

SALESGIRL #2:
(Brings me hideous strapless gown)
How about this hon, do you like lots of beads?

ME:
Um, listen, obviously you are not listening to me. Thanks but no thanks, buh-bye. (I begin to exit)

SALESGIRL #1:
(calling to me in a nasty tone as I leave)
Next time bring a photo.

-- THE END ---

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I was absolutely floored. They were so nasty and not at ALL helpful in ANY WAY!!! I came close to punching her out. grrrrrrr

I had the similar experience. It was the owner who was a total Beotch!! She was rude!! I went there dressed down (comfy clothes, sweats) and she kept looking at me up and down! She gave me her card and I tore it up and dropped it on the floor in front of her store. My total experience at the Bridal Building was horrible anyways! It was just a waste of trip for me. I wish someone had warned me!

I joke with one of the guys Rocco (he's not in the party) that he is my designated bouncer. He is 6'3 and he is gotta be at least 350. He's got the huge elvis hair going on, and covered in tattoo's. I told him the day of the wedding as a joke I want him to stand at the door wearing dark sunglasses and dark clothing and say to people, 'are you on the list'
