For the ones who think that boycotting the store because of rude treatment really isn't a smart idea.
Someone previously said (I believe Softgrey) "You're money is power" and "withholding purchases in that store is the best way to show power".
That makes no sense. You're depriving yourself of the purse, jeans, or hat that you want to buy. They'll have hundreds of other people buying their pieces.
In the end you're the one who's lost out. They lose very little. One customer wont make much of a difference in a sales persons job because in the end they still get a paycheck and you DON"T have the item you wanted.
Why the hell should they get away with it? I think the best thing to do is show them how wrong they are by simply purchasing the item.
I've also thought of telling the sales person that she was no help and that she shouldn't take commission for the sale. If she were to disagree then I'd call over the manager. B)
"Boycotting" the store and saying "Oh this other store is better anyway" or "oh now they will lose money because I wont shop there anymore" is an EXCUSE for defeat.
In life you have to take situations by the balls and take action. Boycotting is so passive and really does nothing unless you're Gandhi and you have as many followers as he did.

since you claim to be so clever...i'm surprised you didn't think of simply purchasing the item ELSEWHERE...lol...
