Speaking in Front of Customers

I went to a store today to pick up something for a trip I’m taking. It was a clothing store, and every single time I go there, they ask me if I’d like to open a charge with them. Each time I decline. It’s just part of the deal.

Today, as I was browsing not far from the register area, a woman was leaving and telling everyone around her to “push lots of credit cards” and make more money. The problem is that she said it right there in front of customers. Tacky. Nothing more to say…

I never thought much about them asking me about opening a credit card account before. This time it felt different. The words “push credit cards” were stuck in my head. That one woman (supervisor, I’m guessing) should have spoken of this with her employees in a private setting, or in a meeting. It shouldn’t have been broadcast in front of customers.

Are you getting lax and speaking of inappropriate things in front of customers?
