She said WHAT?!
This happened a while ago (about 6 months) but still angers me when I think about it! And I wasn't there when it happened, otherwise the manager would have heard about it.
So, my fiance and I were and looked in different jewelery stores for wedding rings to see what styles we liked. He went into Hannoush Jewelers while I was shopping elsewhere and looked around. Keep in mind that we are super low-key people and my fiance is generally dressed in cargo shorts and whatever random t-shirt he decided to throw on that morning. This does not, however, reflect our financial position. Anyway, he found a ring he thought I would like and asked the woman working if he could see it. She told him no. When he asked why he couldn't look at it she told him that he couldn't see it because it was out of his price range.
Ummmmm, WHAT????? I don't think so lady. Lucky for her my fiance decided to just laugh at her, turn around, and leave. I just couldn't believe she would assume what a customer could or could not afford. It still disgusts me to think she insulted him in that way and risked losing business because she assumed he couldn't afford it.
