False Advertising

Every once in awhile when a guest designer produces a line for the store, my co-workers and I receive shirts that we have to wear opening weekend. For this particular designer, we had his name printed on our shirts. On opening day, the designer was very popular and thus sold out within the first couple of hours of the store's opening.

A couple hours later, a customer approached me and asked me where the designer line was. I informed her that we were sold out. She then proceeded to tell me that we shouldn't be wearing our shirts because it was "false advertising." I informed her that we were required by management to wear the shirts and if she had an issue with it, I would be more than happy to get a manager to speak with her. She stormed off, but wasn't done yet. She wanted the last word. So minutes later, she returned, glared at me and said,

"I don't buy any of your fake designer crap. I only buy REAL designer clothes."

That particular designer didn't have his own designer line before my store carried it. My store launched his first line.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.
