Oh my! I had no choice but to venture out of the house yesterday..........
can you imagine! I avoid going out at all costs, just too
overwhelming, leaving me feeling itchy like I'm crawling out
of my skin.......and yesterday was no different!
My digital camera died over the weekend, a constant companion
for over 11 years and well it was time. So I did a search on
Walmart's website and had a pretty good idea what I wanted to
purchase. I get to the electronics department to find all the camera's
locked behind a glass case, so after waiting to be assisted for 10 minutes,
I have no alternative but to call a salesperson.
I show the lady the camera "I think I want", she grabs the camera
takes me to checkout, rings it up and as she's putting it in the bag she says
"it comes with batteries"..........oh, said I, I was wanting the
one with the rechargeable battery!
Oh, that didn't go over so well. Her face morphed into varying
shades of red as she walked me back to the enclosed glass case.
"Which one do you want"........she said, and not so nicely and
with NO sales input whatsoever.........
So I find the camera and all the while this woman is just in
one big huff.........and I'm getting nervous and itchy and I know
that I'm triggering her and I also know it's unavoidable.
"Now I have to walk you to the exchange department"........
ok then (I'm so sorry I'm making you walk)....
.....and I am cognizant that I have no idea what this
salesperson has to deal with in her position all day and
I am trying to be compassionate, but she's making it
awfully hard!
We get to the exchange and she's explaining to another
sales person that I had just purchased this camera when in
fact I wanted another camera altogether, so an exchange was
needed. I could swear I heard her say "this idiot"........or was
that a telepathic message......could be!
You know what, next time I'm going to have the item shipped
and avoid this disrespectful behavior.
At this point in time my home has become my sanctuary. I
somehow managed to procure a remote work from home
position to keep myself sane. Next I'll be having my
food order delivered! Cause I can't take the low level
consciousness that has become even more obvious and
obnoxious in the 3d world.
