Many thanks go out to Brooke for providing me with a link to another site for bridesmaids dresses. I have managed to pick out a much better dress than the one that was originally chosen. Keep in mind these are separates, so use that wonderful thing called imagination and put the two together.
In any case, I find these options more appropriate. Plus, I could actually see myself wearing the top again. Put it with a pair of black pants and it will work. Keep your fingers crossed that Jen will go for this outfit.
There have been more encounters with the store I originally went browsing in to check out the dress options. Our counselor at school, who generally tells it like it is in no uncertain terms, found out what had happened. She found out what I did and asked me when I was going to stop being so nice to people. I told her I guessed I would continue to be a doormat for stupid people for the forseeable future until I managed to develop a spine or finally went postal. Unbenownst to me, she went on an internet mission to find out the contact number of the store's headquarters. While she was unable to find any way to contact the store's headquarters, she was shocked to find numerous websites devoted solely to relating horror stories from people who had dealings with this chain. Still miffed about what had happened to me, she proceeded to call the store and talk to the manager, relating my unfortunate encounter with the sales bimbo. She came to tell me the manager wanted me to call so she could personally apologize. I told her I couldn't believe that she had called the store, that it wasn't that big of a deal, and that I figured the best way to get revenge was to not give them my business and discourage other potential patrons. She looked at me and said, "People have no right to treat you like that. If you continue to let people like that get away with bad behavior, they will continue to treat people poorly."
I just don't want some stupid girl to lose her job because she had a bad day. The sales bimbo was awfully young. Who knows, she may need this job. At the end of the day, the incident wasn't really that big of a deal. It was just another example of how rude and stupid people can be. While telling Kenny what the counselor had done and how I hoped the girl hadn't been fired because she was rude to me, he responded, "Quit making excuses for people who need to be held responsible for their behavior!" Would her getting reprimanded or even fired teach her a lesson. I doubt it. You can't fix stupid, well most of the time. Unfortunately, as comedien Ron White says , "Stupid is forever!", usually.
