Ageism / Adultism / Zellers

I will now never shop at the Zellers store in Sherwood Park. I was in the electronics department looking at speakers, which I picked up and took to the scanner (Nothing in that store has a price tag.). After choosing to buy the speakers, I went back to electronics to look at a phone cable extension. When I was in the isle looking for where they kept it, this lady (maybe 60) walks around the corner (Nobody else was in the electronics except the guy at the till she ignored to talk to me.), and says "Can I help you?" in a very rude sounding tone. I then said "Yes, could you please tell me where the phone cables are?" (Yes, my parents did teach me manners.). She then said "They're over here!" once again in her rude tone. I thanked her and began my search. When I was finished I wanted to check the price of the cable since the speakers were on sale. When I started to walk toward the closest scanner (otherside of store), she quickly walked behind me and then shouted, "Where do you think your taking that?!?!?". (Note that only items behind the glass need to be bought at the electronic counter. Also she abandoned the other customer again.) I quickly replied that I was just heading to my mom (Who was by the scanner). She then said "Oh, fine then." and wandered back to the counter. That was the end of it since when I went to put back the cable I had my mom come with me.

I am sickened by the lack of respect. It wasn't so much that she asked me what I was doing (I had nothing to hide), but the tone and rude conduct she presented. I realize teens do shoplift, but adults do it just as much. I'll be damned if I let people get away with this. In a bit I am phoning Zellers to talk to the management, as well I will let my friends know to avoid shopping there. Also look in the Sunday paper for a letter about ageism.

Now you tell me... Am I wrong? Will I look like a fool?

Blogging more / Long weekend / Broken headphones

Hello, hello! I am back after what seemed like a long break. I hope to start blogging a little more often. I guess that is all I have to say about that for now.

How was your long weekend? Post a comment and tell me about it. Mine was long, plus I had an extra day because I slept in today... well yesterday. Easter was fun, lots of food and chocolate. Hmm, thats about it... I guess I need to start doing more stuff to make my blogs more interesting.

Oh, my headphones are broken, so I need to find out how to replace them. They are Sony's which I bought back in January. The sound only comes out one side. I tried looking for a way to replace them on Sony's website, but I can't seem to find out what to do. I hope Zellers will replace them or whatever but yeah... any ideas, please comment and tell me! Thanks!
