"you are so nice"


not too long ago, i went back to scp to look at a prada wallet at saks so it was just natural for me to mosey on over to the chanel boutique for a looksie. i know i’ve been there already and have seen their merchandise, but i’m beginning to discover that sometimes, boutiques will get new things sent in and if you so happen to be there and you like what you see, you can just snatch it up. OR, you can make good friends with a SA and have her/him call you when the new items come in…yeah, like that’s going to ever happen. anyways, i wanted to know if there were any wallets that i may have missed last time (wishful thinking on my part. i think i just want a wallet and it bugs to have to wait). that’s when i met ritsuko lee, the SA over at chanel.

ritsuko is an older asian lady. she reminds me of someone’s momma. perhaps yours? i did not get a snob vibe from her which was refreshing. she was patient and answered my questions without making me feel like a poor dork. i inquired about their new wallets and she said they should be coming in at the end of january. she even suggested that i come and see their “trunk show” scheduled sometime in late january/february. btw, a trunk show is when all the new season’s products are put on display. it is also a time for you to put yourself on a wait list if you see something you “heart” and would love to buy when the shipments come in.

before i left chanel, i said, “you are so nice.” seriously, i thought it sounded stupid when i heard it coming out of my mouth. they are SALES PEOPLE after all. they are suppose to be nice because they want your business. but unfortunately, the ones i’ve run across aren’t very helpful and uber snooty…except for zeyad of course who likes to gab a lot. ritsuko was a nice change of attitude in the sea of snooty SA faces. if zeyad worked at chanel, it would be perfect. that mofo likes to talk up a storm even though i don’t buy much from him. he’s really helpful, too.

(calamari) yoshiko at the scp chanel is also pretty nice. i think i know the other sa you are talking about. there is also that other tall blonde lady that does look on the snooty side.
