$5 Wallflowers

So I stopped at Bath and Body Works this morning because they had $5 Wallflowers and refills ... $5 people! I love my Wallflowers and for $5 I will wait in line forever like a dumb ass. Of course the lines wouldn't be so long if the cashiers would take no for an answer! I wait in line for ten minutes and this is what happens at the register. She rings up my refills and says ...

"Can I get your home phone number with area code?"

"No" I said

"But we don't sell it to anyone"

"I don't give out my phone number"

"We only use it to send you coupons"

"Okay that doesn't even make sense and like I said, I don't give out my phone number"

"But it's a really good deal"

"Okay, seriously ... I do not give out my phone number"

"But we're supposed to ask everyone for their phone number"

"Well you did ask but that doesn't mean that I have to give it to you to shop here does it?"

"Well, I guess not but I really think you should, it's a really good deal"

"Okay, I have no idea what that means but I don't give out my phone number. Could you please just give me my receipt?"

"Okay!" said all bright and cheery like "Can I get your email address?"

"Oh my God ... do you see the line behind me? You could have helped like three people in the time that you have asked me for my info after I said no ... do you see a problem with that?"

"So does that mean you don't want to give us your email address?" said with utter sincerity

"Can I please have my refills ... please?"

"Okay, thanks so much for shopping here and have a great day" again with the bright and cheery

Maybe I'm just a cranky person but that was maddening!! Maybe I should have just given her my damn phone number but ... well ... I didn't want to and this happens every time I go in there. Why don't I stop shopping there you say? Because I am addicted to the freakin Wallflowers!

Now I'm off to Ikea (Icrapa as Nick calls it) to shop with Diane. They only ask for your zip code ;)
