As you all know, this is a blog devised by me and me only, and because of this I pretty much own it, and because I own it, I can say whatever I damn well please. Now I may not have much style myself, but I know alot about it. I don't own a Store. I am not a Designer, and I don't get paid to do this. The opinions in this Blog are of my own creation, albeit, alot of people give ideas through conversations etc.
Now, although alot of people out there dress not to standard, everyone has a right to wear whatever they want. If a size 16 woman wants to wear a size 10 Herve' Leger tube dress, then who am I to stop her. If she's comfortable and confidant enough to wear it, then more power to her. If a guy wants to wear Skinny Jeans, and they feel at home having their gentials contortioned into what resembles a post-op sex changed vagina, then bless 'em!
What pisses me off constantly, are the people working in the Fashion Trade who hang shit on people who don't seem to be the 'perfect' customer. Besides Victoria Beckham, how many other mutli-millionaire celebrities or just multi-millionaires in general, do you think shop in couture........not many! When someone walks into a shop or a department store, what right do we have to judge them. That man wearing ruggers could be worth a fortune, he could also have contacts in the Media. You never, never know.
I have many friends who are fortunate to have been born into money or have accumulated it through hard work. Most love the finer things in life, but don't usually dress like you expect them to, especially day to day. But when it comes time to show off, out comes the Rochas, the Lanvin, the YSL, the Dries Van Noten and the Brioni.
The reason for this posting is because alot of people I know have experienced attitude from Sales Assistants, and without being too bitchy, at that moment in time, that's all they are, Sales Assistants! Just because someone does'nt look like they have money, does'nt mean they don't have any. Look at Britney!
My advice to all Brisbane Sales Assistants is, see a shrink, because 'Snobby Sales Assistant Syndrome' is always uglier then the clothes those so-called 'plebs' are wearing, and eventually they're the ones paying your average wage and keeping you in a job straightening coathangers and folding jeans.
As I've said before, although Brisbane is growing, it's still a big country town, and word get's around very quickly. At the end of the day, that person you turned away or rubbished, could be the husband, or the wife of someone very,very important.
Think before you act, and as the saying goes....."You only work in a shop you know, you can drop the attitude".

damn right!! Liz.
alot of sales staff in bris think they're working in some overseas shop....when they're not!! at the end of the day, we make your living, so treat us better. good posting.
sales staff (especially in clothes stores) need to get their priorities right. no-one likes a smart arse or a snob! get a real job arseholes.
This is a subject after my own heart!!! I'm not sure at times if my money is printed different but there have been sales assistants out there who have snobbed me out because I've come in dressed in last year's thongs but the next time I went in I did the "Pretty Woman" thing dressed in my latest Chloe and asked to have my ass kissed!!! You Sales assistants out there...Your shit don't smell Chanel SO DROP THE ATTITUDE!!!
hehehe...funny. Brisbane sales staff in the higher end stores need to get over it.
Shane.
Again, so damn fuckin' bang on.
Shop assistants with 'tude' are one step up from telemarketers.
Chick freak
i tend to agree chic freak, we;re doing the sales assistants a favour. as far as I am concerned, you drop to your feet, even if I am wearing dotti!!!
C.R.
agreed, some sales staff need a good kick up the arse, also, alot of them dress like morons themselves!!
Ben's right, some sales staff look so over-the-top, it puts you off buying anything. The attitude stinks as well in some Valley stores!!!
Ultra Suite in the Valley has had attitude for years, I go in alot, but have NEVER bought because of the lack of interest from the staff...it's really gone downhill alot. Cass.
Yes, Ultrasuite has always had attitude, and so does Lucidlaundry. Both stock NOT the best clothes, and I always leave empty handed. Zara.D.
the dude working in lucid needs a bath
They're all Shop Assistants at the end of the day!!!! Danielle/76.
What pisses me off are the sales assitants dressed like either Whores or Emo's. Take my money Bitch!!!!
I think sales assistants in Brisbane have an identity crisis. Most of them think they own the store, which is hilarious. You always know when a shopgirl/boy are giving you attitude, and quite frankly, it's dangerous!!!
Sales staff who are snobby or rude deserve to be shown up!! All they know is how to fold clothes and use an eftpos machine!!! DROP THE ATTITUDE(S). Zane.
it really is funny how alot of sales staff in brisbane think they're a stylist all of a sudden. most a ok, but some are really bad at the their job and at keeping they're snide remarks to themselves. jess.x.
listen up store owners!!! you should NEVER judge a book by it's cover, it's as simple as that.
Vanessa.
Businesses go under when they have arseholes behind the counter!!!
so true, so true. sales assistants with attitude are SO OUT OF STYLE!!!! Kaz.
What goes around, comes around!!!
I needs to start with the shop owners. The staff are out of control with their judgemental attitudes. Jerome.
