Another Isetan Story

I don't know la what it is with Isetan, but this is my second post on my misadventures with them. Is it me? Or is it the staff in general? If it's me, how come I don't have any problems with the people in Parkson?

No, it must be them.

Anyway, went to Isetan to look for curtains for the house. Woodster and I recently purchased another carpet for the living room. Very nice rug, with stripes (we both got modern tastes), and you guessed it - it was on sale!

But unfortunately, this impulsive buy landed us in a living room with horribly mismatched color themes - we're now stuck with a white-blue-orange-brown carpet and blue-green-another blue-another green curtains!

Hmmm, pretty, eh?

So anyway, back to the story. There I was, browsing for ready-made curtains in Isetan when the salesboy approached me...

Chic Me : Hello. Is there a sale on this item?

SB : No.

Curious Me : Oh, too bad. I do like this curtain. Do you know whether it can fit 2 standard window panels?

SB : Samples over there. You can go look.

Went and checked the samples.

Confident Me : Hmm... I'm pretty sure it's not big enough la for my windows.

SB : It's big enough. That's for two panels maaaaa.

Still-Cool Me : Well, I guess my panel size is probably bigger than yours then. Do you have one like this, but wider? Bigger in width?

SB : Miss, you buy two lah!

Controlling-Anger Me : OK, no thank you.

I walked out, furious. SO RUDE!

Hey dude, if I wanted the obvious answer, I wouldn't have asked that perhaps-stupid question in the first place. You're the salesperson, of course la I asked you stupid questions like that. How should I know what kind of sizes ready-made curtains have?? Haiseh.

Not that it matters anyway. You should just answer my stupid question, instead of suggesting stupid solutions like that, which made me look like a very, very stupid & cheapo customer. Well, I AM cheap, but still... treat me with a little respect, will ya?

Bet you wouldn't treat me that way, had I been a pretty Minah Salleh.

Sorry to say this la dude, but perhaps, that's why you're still working in that stinking curtain section, where rarely anyone visits, instead of being moved up to the cooler, much more happening sections, like Toys, or Accessories, or Apparels! Dude, you need some serious attitude adjustments.

Go figure.

Why the hell am I getting so worked up for anyway? Hmmmm..... must be all the work stress getting to me lah.

*Mental Note : Call Debbie at Spa Mantra tonight!!*

Or, perhaps I'm just looking for a reason to get pampered?? Hehehe.

Go figure. Again.
