Leave Me Alone

Please leave me alone. Please let me do my own shopping. Please don't run up to me every 15 seconds and ask me if I have found everything I am looking for .  OK, let me explain. I am a great shopper.  I usually know what I want upon entering a store and refuse to spend lots of time in one.
    

Being as I used to do business with many retailers, I know store layouts and can probably tell you where everything is blindfolded.  When I am in stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, it's only for a few things and I refuse to ever take a shopping cart. In fact, I basically won't use a shopping cart anywhere.  I love those little faggy baskets and especially love just using those 2 hands that I was fortunately given at birth.

I want to walk through the aisles and get what I need as fast as humanly possible and then get out of that store.  I don't want help from anyone......after all.....I have a mouth also and if I required someones help, I would certainly ask for it.
  

This is so not possible at Bed Bath and Beyond.  They have nice salespeople there, and I am sure they are doing their job as they were taught...........BUT.......Why do they feel compelled to practice on me ?  Why with every 10 feet I take,  must someone ask me if I am finding everything I am looking for ?  What do they think ?  Am I General Custer at Little Big Horn ?  Do they really give a shit if I found it or not ?  Or am I getting so old they are worried that I won't make it to the checkout line ?

Wait....I have walked another 5 feet and am approached by another salesperson asking me if I needed a shopping cart ?  No...I don't need, nor do I want one of your stupid fucking shopping carts.  Next time, I am going to ask them to please relay my message to every other sales person there who is about to ask me one of the two questions above.
         However...............and I do mean However....

If your salespeople looked like this, Not only would I buy more things, I would use a couple of shopping carts, and of course would spend a hell of a lot more time in your store shopping....Just Saying.

Rip-off..........Rip-off

I promised a special blog tonight and it will come later.  However, right now, this very second, I am sitting in front of my computer fuming over the blatant copying I have just seen in a national chain store.  I was in Bed Bath and Beyond to buy my special coffee ( and was just informed that Target has the same brand , Gevalia, at almost half the price ).
     But that is not the point. BB & B looked completely different  in my local store that I do frequent. (Again only with that 20% circular that everyone has). So , upon entering, I noticed this huge cosmetic area with all these national brands and it looked pretty good at first glance. Then I looked a little closer and saw what these  low life, copying, cheating, knock off, look alike bastards did with all this merchandise.  They made almost everything in stock look like the twin brother of a product that you and I have grown to love, know, admire, use, etc.  I saw what I thought was Scope, Listerine, Johnson & Johnson, Band Aid, and other name's that I am sure you know and have know for years.  I would have sworn they were the original products.

      Sure they changed the name to protect a major law suit, but certainly kept their identity. They are using a name called " Face Values "......They really should change that name to Copy Cat Cheaters and Knock off Product.  It really does have a nicer ring to it.                                                                                                                                                                      What is wrong with this picture ?  What ever happened to creating your own identity and being able to promote your own product ?  I think it is terrible and I for one will never purchase another thing in that Store...............Unless of course they send me a generic mailer good for a free product of one of their phony knock offs.......Regardless, management should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this and not having the balls to do these products under the Bed, Bath & Beyond name.
