To have told the women their rudeness lost them a sale?

So I was just in town, and went in to a shop where they had a gorgeous dress in the window. I had phoned about it last week so knew it was £54.
I went in to get it, and saw some boots too priced at £99.99

Now I never buy myself anything new, but have just been paid and also my last maintenance payment of £500 has just come. (4 months money and I have to get my ex investigated now as he has fiddled his taxes).

The three assistants were all serving one man, who apparently was buying a lot. Fair enough they want his sale, but were so dismissive, not even apologising for the wait.
Surely one man didn't need all three women?

Anyway, after 10 minutes of waiting around, I went up, told them they has just lost a possible sale of over £150, and left.

So am I?

I hate rudeness in shops, BTW.

I did post about it on here muggle. Teamedward, the cps are still waiting to decide if they are going to press charges, caution him or drop it. Its taking so long because there are 3 police forces involved and they have faffed around getting more witness statements etc. They have until 23 Nov to make a decision but he was actually arrested and questioned. He denied it of course.

this is a site that you can use to find stockists of lola espeleta clothing, you could then ring if and find out if they have the dress.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
