Nike Women Staff’s Public Discussion of Personal Sexual Preferences (Ire)
The Dirty Dancing Incident While trying on items at Gateway’s Nike Women’s dressing room, I heard the sales staff getting into a discussion of the movie Dirty Dancing which soon led to a conversation about personal preferences for the male member (in Tagalog) to be big.
When I came out, there were a couple of other clients who were just walking in so the staff discontinued. I ascertained it was they who were talking and they did know that I was in the dressing room. The answer to both queries were in the affirmative.
I informed them that what they did was bastos (offensive) because from the halted conversation when the other customers came in they apparently knew they shouldn’t be talking in this manner. Yet they did so while I was there. Wasn’t I a customer too who deserved the same courtesy? I even had to prod them into uttering apologies.
What made it even more infuriating was I’ve made it a point of buying from this particular branch and thus, have developed an amiable relationship with the sales staff, something, it seems, that they have taken for granted.
After a week, I placed a call to their supervisor who was absent at the time and related what happened. When no apology in the form of a material item was offered, I demanded for one.
Lighten up, girl.
“Demanding for an “apology gift†may sound materialistic at first”
You are materialistic if every time someone offends you, the next thing you want is material compensation.
You’re kind is the reason why apologies seem so ineffective these days. Like the person before me said, lighten up!
Wow. Lighten up.
