 | 	- My cousin is getting married in California, and picked out a bridesmaid dress for me to try on here in town so I can get measurements so she can order them at her local store. She called ahead to Celebrations to make sure they carry the style, and said I would be coming by to get sized. I walked in (with my heels and strapless bra in tow), and told the girl at the counter what I needed to do. I was immediately taken aback at how rude and unhelpful she was to me. Keep in mind also, that they weren't busy, and she wasn't doing anything. 
I asked to see the dress they had in stock so I could try it on, and she scoffed at me and said it was a size 16, so what would I want to see it for, since it was also a different color. I said I'd like to see the style, and I was told I could try it on and they could pin it. She reluctantly went to pull it and held it up for me about 6 feet away, and didn't want me to touch it, hold it, and I had to ask her twice to turn it around. Trying it on was clearly out of the question. I'm not sure if she was angry that she knew she wouldn't be getting commission, or what her deal was. I said I can't leave the store without at least getting my measurements, so she then took out a tape measure and measured my bust, waist, and hips, right there on the counter. She wrote them down on a business card and I asked for her assistance in translating that to the dress line, since I knew there was a specific size chart that came with it. She laughed at me and said it was up to me what I wanted. I asked again where the dress could easily be altered, what size she recommended IN HER EXPERIENCE based on my measurements, and she rolled her eyes at me and said I don't know and turned around. It was clear she was done. 
I truly have never experienced a store clerk be so blatantly rude for no apparent reason, or so unhelpful. Clearly I could have just taken my own measurements at home, I didn't need to drive all the way to Jones and Desert Inn to get laughed at by this sour girl. Word of advice: Don't work at a bridal store if you don't want to help people with bridal specific questions.
