I had to go into a jewelry store today. I wasn't there to get anything of monetary value, I wanted to talk to the owner who had run the store since the 60's which is next door to the theater. I was hoping that he might have some information on the theater since he previously had mentioned to me in a phone call that he used to make his son go there when he was working.
Well I asked him if I could ask him some questions and he said, "Well you better hurry cause today isn't a good day." I said I could come back on another day if it would suit him better, since it was V-day, but he said to just hurry instead. (This was despite the fact that they had 10 sales people just standing around cause not one customer was in the store.) So I hurried and asked him a few questions, which he was rude and short about, and then... then he asks me, "While you are here, have you gotten a gift for your boyfriend yet?" I told him that my husband would be pretty offended if I got him one, which went right over this guys head. I just couldn't believe that this old man had the nerve to ask me to buy something after being so rude to me. (Plus he knew I was a student, which should give him the impression of a poor starving college student.)

Did you tell him to shove it?
No, I had to be nice since I am trying to get info out of him and I am representing the theater. (Have to keep some semblance of professionalism.)
Meh. Professionalism is overrated.
