your post. I wasn't going to watch, or even seek out coverage later, in general because I don't care much about fashion (ironic coming from someone who works at a higher end clothing store), nor do I care about the lives of multi-millionaires and billionaires, aka the attendees. When I started my current job, I worried some about how I'd deal with the rich, entitled customers without saying or doing something that would get me fired. Most of the time, our customers are fine and lovely...but at least once a shift, there's at least one rude and entitled customer. My shift this morning STARTED with one (oh joy). Among her many, many other rude behaviors...she kept calling me "Ashley". Now at our store, and all the other stores in our chain, when you take someone to the dressing room to try something on, you ask their name (and write it on a dry erase board on, or next to, the dressing room door) and tell them yours. This is the second time in just a few weeks I've been called by the wrong name; the other woman kept calling me "Heather". I didn't bother correcting either of them--why should I? I might not see them again...and if they have some sort of complaint about me, they'll just use the wrong name and no one will know it's me <g>. I did wonder if the name mix-up was mental decline--when most of your customers are older, you deal with a LOT of memory issues on their part--or if they simply didn't care enough about the help to get their name right.
