A majority of the women working in my Macy's, Dilliards, and Saks store are in their 40's and up and sort of treat me like I'm not good enough to shop at prestige counters. Lots of times I have to circle for a good 10 minutes or go up and ask for help or I just get ignored.
Luckily Sephora sells almost every brand that those stores do and they are fantastic....many of their employees have wilder hair than mine, tattoos, piercings, etc so I feel no judgement there.
My Ulta just seems to be filled with 18 yr olds with sour attitudes and the hair stylists love coming up to you when your down the cheap-o hair dye aisle (where I buy my pink dye) to tell you how those products can NEVER make your hair look as good as they could (and try to sell you services). When I say I dye my own hair with *GASP* semi perm pink dye (and it looks half decent) they give me a face like
then
and walk away lol
It's ok though, I just take my money where I'm treated nicely. When I got my first job at 14 (under the table) I went to Macy's and planned to go wild at Mac...they treated me SO badly that I purposefully went to the Prescriptives counter directly next to them (which had a very nice sales lady) bought $800 in products, made SURE they saw it, and walked back over to tell them to adjust their attitudes and not judge people. I've never understood why people are so judgmental...you never know who has money or not.
