saw an interesting minor altercation at the savers op shop
a sales assistant came t the jewellery section to put more stock on display , then after a few minutes she exploded, telling a young woman to back away, to give her some space,
apparently the young woman had been closely following her for 30 minutes, checking out all the items that had been set out very quickly before anyone else could see them, she had a basket of stuff, she looked like a reseller, she had her phone out to check items
reseller then complains that the assistant was being racist, why didn't the assistant tell the other shoppers to back away
well, another shopper said we were giving the assistant room and also the assistant said you were following her around , so no, there is no racism and it's not cool to call people racist The reseller was so angry, she just couldn't see how she had been harassing the assistant
You would think it would be wise as a reseller to get on good terms with staff.
Resellers are scalpers imo, fuck em.
