Belk Sux !

Ok, Here's my daily drama. For Christmas I received two bottles of Polo Black cologne. I don't even like it that much, so I decide to take one back. Another friend gave me a gift card to Belk, so I figured ... Hey, I'll get some cologne and maybe another watch. Ya'll know how I like my watches. So, I return the cologne and get a bottle of Acqua di Gio (Armani). IT'S DA BOMB!. I decide to walk around the mall and see what (who) I can see, and figure when I leave I'll go out thru Belk and check out the watches.

I find nothing (nobody) of interest in the mall, so I go to leave. Belk's Fossil selection sucks, but there was one leather strap that caught my eye, along with a HUGE faced watch from Nautica. I wait and wait. Wait some more ... still waiting ... There is no one assisting me, and I need some assistance. The people at the Cologne counter can see me, so can the chick at the checkout at Lady's Handbags, but no one is doing anything to help a brotha out. So what do I do?


I gently nudge an earring display on a table in the middle of the store and it all comes-a-crashin' down. Two employees come RUNNIN' out of no where to put it back up and stare me up and down like I'm some kind of moron.

"Well, now that I've got your attention, Can I get someone to show me this watch?" I politely ask. Then they look at me like I've got lobsters crawling out of my ears. The female employee stands and says, "Sir, I think it's best if you leave!"

"I couldn't agree with you more." As she walks me to the door, I pull the famous line from Pretty Woman; "You work on commission right? Big mistake! I'll take my millions to Tanglewood where I know I'll get service."

I didn't go to Tanglewood yet, but I will. Oh believe me, I will. The gift card is burnin' a hole in my wallet. I may trot on over there Saturday after work.
