Little Rant #1

To the guy working at the hardware store
/

I was in the hardware store and a man working there asked me if I wanted to phone my husband because I looked so confused. Phone my husband? First of all, I’m not even married. Second, what if I have a wife? Third, isn’t it your job to help people in this store? Are you just relying on people’s significant others to tell them what to buy? What kind of business model is this? And finally, I will not be ā€œphoningā€ anyone. If I have to ask my boyfriend something, I am going to text him, walk around your store aimlessly waiting for him to respond, use your bathroom, and then buy a candle on my way out when I don’t get an answer within 15 minutes because even though this store is part of a chain, I for some reason feel bad not buying anything. Okay? That is how I do business, sir. That’s also why I own so many candles, and why my house always smells like a mix of citrus, french vanilla, and patchouli. Oh but also next time I’m in here, if you should be so lucky, I will definitely need assistance determining exactly which metal bracket to buy. Thank you.
