I've never had a problem with the girls in Mac - always found them very helpful.

Zara is a different story though - the sales staff there have ATTITUDE!!!! I once bought something there, and during the whole transaction (credit card, pin number, etc, etc) the male sales assistant didn't say ONE word to me, let along acknowledge my existence. So when he handed back my card, I tackled him about it, saying 'Do you realise that you didn't say one word to me while I paid for that?' He looked utterly perplexed and non-plussed - just didn't get what I meant. Literally shrugged his shoulders and smirked as if I was stupid for even mentioning it!!

In the immortal words of Edina in Absolutely Fabulous 'Drop the attitude sweetie, you're only a shop assistant!'

PLEASE shop assistants don't harass me for that - it's a joke, ok??? I know there are lots of lovely ones too :)
