How often do you spill your spaghetti

>>7126267
>Walk into SSENSE with pleb clothing on
>Nudie jeans Clarks desert boots
>Clerk is super cool guy
>nothing but helpful and we chat
>Don't buy anything and leave after fondling balmain givenchy and saint laurent

I think the clerks only see a handful of people a day and wanted mostly just to talk lol

its the pleb brands that have snooty fashion clerks

>>7126673

>mfw Nudie jeansnare considered pleb :(

>need new oxfords
>go to Ferragamo
>wearing a casual Saturday fit - raws, blue button down, fleece vest, worn (but clean) a/o's
>clerk b-lines it to me immediately
>"Welcome to Salvatore Ferragamo. Can I help you with something?"
>clerk is wearing a cheap CK suit, skinny tie, partially wrinkled white ocbd, what looked a Citizen watch, and of course, some brown cap toes he probably put on when he got there.
>respond, "No, probably not" and continue browsing the store.
>Find something I like, ask for size, don't try it on, put it on the amex, and leave.

I don't deal with that shit, especially when you see these clerks lined up in Marshall's any other day of the week, buying Hugo Boss boxer briefs and Diesel jeans.

>>7126673
Walk into ssense ssense montreal.
There on business.
Wearing a black suit and a lv bag.
Get every sales person jumping on me trying to sell me something.
Go down to bottom floor.
One guy fixing a givency sweater
Guy is super cool and he prob knows im I'm not going to buy anything but he still takes the time to show me and describe every thing.
I doubt they see that much buisiness. My guess is it is mostly online.

>>7126267
Sort of, since I wasn't intentionally shopping.

>manager at a movie theater in a mall
>get a lot of posters in poster tubes because you know, movie theater
>UPS drops off a poster that should have gone to Armani (some federal wage thing)
>decide to walk over there and drop it off because I'm not an asshole
>finally find it after exploring the mall
>walk in
>they both look at me as if I'm diseased
>"Hey, I think this is your poster."
>they keep on looking at me
>"This is Armani, right?"
>one guy says, "Yeah, just leave it there"
>walk away
>they start giggling

I don't know if they were laughing at my uniform (black button-up shirt with theater logo, black pants, black slip-resistant captoes) or what.

>>7126677
at least they're sort of made in Italy.

>made in italy (and tunisia)

come on now nudie

>>7126673
Yeh, im sure he thinks you're super pleb for walking in there wearing jeans that they sell in the store.

>>7126694
They don't have a whole lot of online stuff in store. It's mostly higher end stuff.

>>7126677
>look at nudies
>belt loops are pig disgusting
not evun ounce

my mom is one of those people that isn't rich but pretends like she is in stores. wearing her most expensive shit, trying everything on, test driving cars she can't afford, looking at real estate she can't afford. her mom was the same way. kind of like asian-american people lel. I grew up with this it was so fucking annoying, our weekends were spent at like mercedes and porsche dealerships, expensive real estate in la jolla and del mar, every once in awhile she'd get noticed as a pleb and it was shear embarrassment for me.

>>7127240

> Who the fuck cares about belt loops. Really.

>>7127262
not a snooty fashion store clerk story, but i have a story regarding that asian privilege where everyone assumes i'm rich
>go to barneys
>wearing a button-up shirt from urban outfitters, uniqlo jeggings, and converse
>couple guys working there are complimenting my fit, complimenting the stuff i tried on, asking if i needed any sizes, and talking to me about the other stuff in the store that i might like
>as if i could have afforded anything there

i'm know it's their job, but still

>>7127282
>not caring about belt loops
maybe you should just leave.

>>7126267

>lady asks if she can help with anything
>"do you have any james perse in size 0?"
>says "no" and basically just walks away
idk if they just know i'm not going to buy anything and shuttle off or what

what stores do u guys think have the largest snooty clerks ratio? where stores or type of stores am i more likely to find snooty folks?

>>7126267
>walk into the gap
>wearing head to toe tricky ricky
>there is a qt pleb cashier
>she looks at me
>begins to laugh at me uncontrollably
>i punch her in the neck and strut out of the mall

everyone ive met at nice designer stores is really nice and friendly

but burberry is the worst to go into. my city's burberry has five floors and theres like a dozen employees on each floor just standing around asking if u need help. the place has like a 3-1 SA to customer ratio

>>7127339
well, either they think you're going to steal something or you're one of those shallow, brand hungry niggers who blows his welfare check on a moncler jacket

>>7127378
i can agree from experience that designer stores actually have friendly and helpful staff. it might sound ironic but the more expensive/high end the store, the friendly the personnel are

>>7126267
>Holt Renfrew
>Contemporary floor
>HI GIRL HOW YOU DOIN WE HAVE NEW J BRAND AND WILDFOX DID YOU GET MY PHONE MESSAGE HOW WAS EUROPE
>I'm here for an Equipment blouse. It's a gift for my mother
>OMG YOUR HAIR OH LOL DON'T U LUV THIS WILDFOX TOP
>I already have that. I bought it online
>OH LET ME SHOW YOU THESE NEW J BRAND WASHES
>I'm just going to get a blouse for my mother
>OK IF YOU NEED ANYTHING GURL JUST LET ME KNOW
>th-thanks

Not condescending or anything, just irritating. I don't always want to buy lots of things but she is always there and recognizes me and sometimes I just want to be left alone

>>7127365
barneys, saks, that's just in my city tho. but they aren't actually snooty that ive noticed but they are the most knowledgeable and well dressed. probably high margin boutiques are the worst.

i just dont want to talk to people.

and i know in the more expensive places im going to be the only one there.

i just shop online.less awkward

>>7127365
express has the highest percentage of flaming gay clerks

this is pretty much just a human thing. you get this in a lot of walks of life. 'underground' skateshops will judge the fuck out of you if you're an unknown, performance car shops, record stores can be bad too. in my experience.

>ring shopping with gf
>gf asks if men usually get rings right after engagement (she's from a different country and neither of is know or care)
>clerk replies "you can do whatever you want" while giggling
>turn around and walk out

I have a beta personality quirk where it is really easy for clerks to upsell me.
>in perfume store
>ask for YSL body kouros
>clerk gets it, tells me she will throw in one of their top sellers and give me a discount on both
>brain says no that's stupid
>mouth says sure
>end up paying 30 bucks more for a cologne than the price on amazon
>no returns
I would make a terrible jew.

>>7127439
what

I always wanted to go into that weird store in Berlin (i live there), called darkshadow or something in just my basic bitch clothes (slim fit nudies, vans, oxford shirt).

i just want to, idk why

>>7127282

>>7127477
I've always wanted to, just to make the clerks/owners worry that plebs are going to wear out their brand.

honestly just walk in and own it.. they are fucking retail workers. if you can upsale a soda at mcdonalds you can sell expensive clothing. who gives a shit if they are snooty just be a cunt back.

>>7127461
Which one was the one you got thrown in?

>>7127517
Pure Bleu

>>7127390
>get into an argument with manager at a store
>try to avoid it when she's there

i suck

>>7127508
fuck off back to the hypebest thread please

>>7127524
no

>>7127537
i bet this is shark or young female moops

>>7127390
Montréal? She sounds like the one in Montréal.

I can hardly shop at stores for clothes anymore. I just feel super uncomfortable the whole time. Especially if I'm trying something on. They always put qt workers near the dressing rooms and I'm shy as fuck.

>enter store
>"Hay do you need help finding anything!?"
>"naw just browsing" -me
>move into other section
>"Hay do you need help finding anything?!"
>"no thankyou" -me
>walk around
>feel like im being watched
>leave buying nothing

fuck life

>>7127312
>jeggings
they didnt care about your fit

>>7127608
this, I either buy something I shouldn't have or rush out of the store without buying something I want.
The fuck is the point of SAs anyway? Are people truly unable to find things in the average clothing store?

I usually go shopping in my dgaf wear since dressing rooms can be a hassle otherwise. I guess it never really occurred to me that I might get judged for it but from my experience that hasn't been the case. Granted I haven't been to many 'edgy' boutiques and that sort of thing, but at least at Barney's and other high end retailers, the salespeople are more concerned with making a sale than anything else (I think some places pay commission? Can't remember). Yeah I've received some suffocating and frankly awkward attention while trying on $20,000 jackets and whatnot but I think it's more that that stuff doesn't sell often and they absolutely want to leap on any opportunity they can.

>>7126267
i like how sales associates that work at mid-high end places act like they're millionaires for working there

bitch u aint no barbie, i know you're pulling 20k/year max part time, food stampin it, obamacaring this bitch

min wage trash workers sucking money from the government, why do we have to subsidize that bitches lack of respect for college

>>7126681

fake sieg you forgot ur trip

>>7128844
>>7128846

oh wait there he is right on cue lel

So I have this problem
>be me
>see shirt
>try it
>one size to big
>ask the woman "hey, do you have this in small"?
>She's like "sorry, but we don't
>At this point I don't know what is up because I've seen on their site that they do have it in S
>Out it back on the rack
>She looks at a diffrent shirt
>Says "It's a pity, because it's a real nice shirt"
>Realise she actually thought I was wearin another shirt
>Don't want to correct her
>Leave store
>Pass store everyday to see if another person is working there, so I can ask for the shirt in size small

>>7128844

>implying you have a life, much less a job

>>7128940

take an autism test

>>7128956
I don't see how it would help my problem.

I do have autism though

>>7128940
this is so fucking pathetic wtf

If there's something I'm almost sick of it's how nice the sales assistants are

If I was stupid I would think the qt salespeople genuinely like me and find me funny and think my clothes are cool

They would never talk to me if I wasn't buying from them

;_;

other day I was trying on some Alden Indy boots

Sales assistant told me it was Barrie last so it's extra roomy

giggled on the interior because I knew it was Trubalance last

the guy at nordstrom's wasn't very polite

he did cheer up when I asked if they stocked T by Alexander Wang (they didn't tho)

>Go to gravitypope

"Hey, where's the divide between the men's and women's stuff?"
"The menswear is downstairs. This is womenswear"

fuck lol

Bought some APC jeans before I left, that girl earned her commission

Barneys SF has some nice workers

>>7128823

>tfw you couldn't afford a $20 jacket let alone $20,000...

What's it like being rich?

>>7126690
at the end of the day you both work in a mall, i wouldn't worry about it to much.

>>7129312
you can't afford a $20 jacket but you got time to dick around on /fa/ instead of getting a job

>>7129326

I do work. Thirty hours a week plus I'm in school part-time. I just have bills to pay for phone, credit cards, gas, car, insurance, etc.

>>7129218
to bad...
...you're not the original banana

>>7129218
fuck that place
i go there on my break (almost lawyer) and some fuckin kid eyeballs me and asks if i know what cp's are...
one time the same cunt asked if $300 is in my budget because i asked for cp Achilles.
i gave that kid shit.
just some punk who got a part time job at a clothing store and thinks his shit dont stink.
it wasnt untill the manager came over and asked what in the fuck was going on and when i explained what happened he had the nerve to interrupt me and call me a liar.
it wasnt untill a couple of other shoppers jumped into back me up.
in reality i dont have to explain my shit to no one and the customer should always be first.(to a certain extent)
the manager later said sorry and made the little cunt apologize.

>also
i buy my shit online now haha fuk em

>>7129353

>>7129347
damn bro you may want to find some roommates

i live in an expensive city and work 25-30 per week and still get some pocket cash after bills because I live with 4 friends

also financial aid paying for school helps

>>7129360
the truth hurts.

>>7127441
the guy at the record store i go to always stares at me when i talk, like he doesn't understand a fucking word i just said. he's such a douche bag but they have the best selection in town so i just ignore him unless i really need something. I've been going there for 7, count seven fucking years and he still does this shit but at least i know where everything is so i rarely have to talk to the idiot.

>>7129240
Barneys SF confirmed for GOAT customer service

I heard american apparel clerks are awful.

>>7129378

My school is paid for and I live with my parents. I get about 500-600 a month in pay. 200-300 of that is gas money. 110 for my phone. 100 or so for food. Then after that I'm scraping by to pay for anything else.

;_;

>>7129419
they are

>>7129420
damn bro that sucks
I get about 600-800 per month in pay but work is walking distance from my apartment and public transpo takes me anywhere else, parents still pay my phone (lol), so all I really pay is rent and food and I get a couple hundred per month to spend/save for shit

i've never even had any issues with snooty, just I can't fucking stand the overly enthusiastic shit
i just want to look around at the clothes please if i need help i will ask you coming up to me while i am looking at shit makes me want to not buy anything and also leave

>yeah our sizes do tend to run small
>i've personally never had that problem though *CONDESCENDING SMILE*

it was at fucking h&m of all places

>friends with four American Appy store clerks last year, three of whom live together
>all of them act weird and snooty constantly
>gay male clerk is biggest autist ever
>40ish mutual friends, always at his apartment for sex/parties, now lives with a girl i hooked up with many times
>still doesn't FB add me

>go to sears to look at 65" tvs
>guy talks to me for a fucking hour nonstop
>leave sears knowing every little difference between plasma, lcd, knowing every companies patented software
kid was like 16 too. total turbo nerd autist. didnt have the heart to tell him to fuck off

>>7129454
lol i knew a guy like this in highschool, worked at future shop and he made fucking crazy commission like 1K a week

only snobby store i've been in was y-3 london
maybe they thought i was poor cause i was holding a COS bag i dunno

>>7129437

Yeah, my pay sucks (I work for Sunglass Hut) and I have to work at a store that's a 45 minute drive from my house because no one around me was hiring.

But to keep my tangent on topic I can tell you, for as snooty as some shopkeepers are, some customers are WAY worse.

>I ONLY wear Chanel glasses because they're objectively better than every other brand.
>What's Persol? Probably some off-brand.

>>7129429

I thought about going to one about 6 minutes away from my house just for some odds & ends. I read reviews on Yelp and most of them complained about the employees. Fuck in-person shopping.

>>7126690
why didn't you just tell your manager that you were going to deliver it

then walk off in the general direction, turn the corner, throw the poster in the dumpster, take a 15 min smoke break, text some shit, take a piss then go back when you're ready to deal with asshats at the movie theater again?

Went to the y3 store.
Lady was nice,my dad bought some shoes.
she didnt recognize my Junya jacket though so i kicked a bunch of shit over before i left.

>>7129496

Persol and Chanel are both manufactured by Luxottica and have roughly identical quality standards. Luxottica also own the store you work in. But you probably knew that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voUiWOGv8ec

>>7129581

Luxoticca owns most of the brands we sell with few exception.

>>7129475

I went there and they were incredibly nice. I even went with my mom who is 60 and she ended up chatting with the store clerk about fashion (my mom used to be a fashion forecaster in the 70s) the whole time I was shopping. For fuck's sake I was even wearing pleb Roshes and they complimented them because they looked kind of like Qasas.

>>7129599
fuck those cunts
i used to deal with them now i deal with safilo.
fuck them honestly they are such jews

>Be in J. Crew at the Gradenstate Mall (Total pleb)

>Walk to the back where there's more sweaters and shit.
>Guy is watching me.
>It's just us two in there.
>Comes up to me again.
>"CAN I HELP YOU FIND ANYTHING?" With that shitty reddit, liberal fuck grin.
>"Dude, would you leave me alone?" "I already told you I'm just looking. Goddamn, man".

More like absolutely no patience and annoyed all the time. Easily angered and snap a lot.

>Wealthy sister gets me a burberry sport coat and belt for birthday present.

>Roll into Burberry store (San Diego,CA) for sexchange.
>Must've been slow as fuck....only person there is me and 4 staff.
>I was in hyper-pleb mode with starbucks in hand.

>Guide me to sale/discount section with not a hint of arrogance or disdain.
>The 3 of them take turns holding shirts up against me, measuring my waist, and finding me the best value for the my imaginary-hard-earned money.

Leave with heavily discounted returned short-sleeved button up, great pair of black pants that fit like they were made for me, and a complimentary small cologne (3oz) ...along with $300 cash.

>in Prada store
>trying on shoes
>never seen a shoehorn in my life
>he laughs at me when I ask him what it is for
I've never gone to a Prada store after that. It's not my fault Italians have tiny feet.

It's probably a laugh of commiseration, not a condescending laugh.

Some people may remember me, I'm the guy who posted here about being homeless in London that time. I also drew those pics of Rick in a GeoOnesie.

Started picking up freelance work from advertising agencies, my first big, well-paid job is coming up soon, contract's locked in and everything.

Once I've got enough of these jobs under my belt to have a good amount of cash in the bank, I'm walking into the Rick Owens off Hyde Park in the scruffiest, most plebby outfit I can muster (probably a two-year-old pair of H&M dark grey jeans, a pair of Caterpillar rigger boots, a three-year-old Muscleworks Gym t-shirt and a Superdry hoodie) with a two-week beard.

And I'm going to buy a pair of Geos and a couple of those £200 t-shirts.

It might be a few months before it happens, but if it does I'll try and record it somehow and post the results here.

>>7132595

>>7132595
Would watch.

>>7132595
not nearly pleb enough
go in something like this

>>7132618
>Fedora

There are limits to how far I'll debase myself for the entertainment of strangers on the internet.

Ideally I want them to think I'm a homeless guy or something.

Barneys def, after seining season I stopped buy there on my way home.
I was 18 years old at the time and they treated me like shit,
guarantee I made more them them in the past four months then they made that year, too.
Fuck 'em
