At 5:50pm I walk in delighted, a store is open around here!! They sell dark sea woohoo i can grab a button up for my husband yay present. Sign is out, open sign on. just off my plane ready for some retail therapy. I call out "hello?' After about 3 full minutes the retail clerk shows up. I wait near the door because in Vancouver its bad form to burst into a shop without offering to check your bags
(I assume the shoplifters are as bad if not worse here. I'm like "wow! I can't wait to have a quick shop. I'll just set my bags down here" my bags have viable harbour air laptop tags and I'm carrying a, albeit quiet, luxury handbag. Oh and wearing cute new furry moon boots. I was a bit wet from the showers outside. But it would be a very huge stretch to think I was transient/homeless. Regardless of what class or financial situation a person is, I would want my.retail front line representation to treat all visitors with respect and to serve all visitors until the time we close as advertised.. That said, our associate responds to me "Nope I'm going to start cashing out amd cleaning up, come back tomorrow" I look at my phone and say (respectfully) "it's 5:54pm, looks like I've got 5 mins to check it out after all ha-ha!" He's like, "sorry I'm already closed' and grabs the sign and carries it in. So I was totally insulted, tbe way he looked at me and the snobby face he made...I felt..judged? So I respond "you know I have 5 bills on me right now and prob would have spent it !?" (My husband would be late to pick me up so we decided I would wait for him at the local "casino nanaimo" down the street
So I being the gambler I am, loaded up on cash before heading to the plane) I guess that offended him as he responds angrily: "if you are going to be like that. Don't you EVER come back" I'm like bewildered, disappointed "???woah man, slow down, really,?" He marches in angrilly fussing with his sign. Bangs the door closed and audibly locks it saying nothing.
Wow. All I can say is if you are this stores manager or owner PLEASE reprimand. Your future clientele is NOT in good hands. Check cameras, every word of this is true
