Shopping Etiquette

I was talking to a co-worker yesterday about shopping etiquette. We got on this random subject because I was telling her that over the weekend I was at Burlington Coat Factory with my dad shopping for a new cute peacoat for my mom. I was walking up and down the isles looking at different coats and all of a sudden out of know where this girl was like in my face and was less then a foot away looking at a coat and I let out a sigh and walked away. I was just thinking wow that is rude to get so close to someone while they are shopping.

It gets better, so I walked down a few isles and was looking at some other things and came back down to where the coats were and that same girl was like right behind me as I walked down the isle. I walked down the isle fast because I didn't see anything and walked in the isle where by dad was and don't you know that she hurried up and walked right past me and stood behind my dad ( as he was looking through the racks and had is hand on a hanger to pick up a coat ) and she crossed her arm over his hand to grab a coat, when the whole isle had coats. At that point I had enough so I said, " don't test me " and I looked right at her as I said that and she just stared at me. Then I got a little extra and I said, " geesh I know I have good taste and all." hahha !! After that she ran the other direction. Sometimes you need to let people know what's up !

So the moral of the story is please give people at least 3 feet when you are looking at clothes, Do not run up on people like you are crazy !! Same thing applies when you are standing in line to check out. Please do not stand close enough to the back of the person that you can whisper sweet nothings in there ear. Is anyone with me on this ? That drives me CRAZY !!

  1. my shopping trick..you'll laugh but it SO WORKS, is to fart! haha Just enough to keep people away from you. Word gets around, no one wants to shop near the smelly girl.

    I told my girl who's preggo, and she's done it at children's store sales ;)

    It's so true, and hope that made you laugh!

  4. I agree with you 100%! I've had stuff like that happen to me a lot when shopping. It just makes shopping online that much more appealing to me!

  6. I need my personal space. There are some stores I won't go in (Marshalls for example) because the aisles are so narrow other shoppers end up right on top of you.
