Shopper Maliciously Complies And Buys A $900 Appliance After Sales Assistant Tells Him To Look For Something He Can Afford

It's not uncommon to come across ill-mannered people throughout your lifetime. As much as we would've liked to exist peacefully and comfortably – there'll always be someone eager to ruin it. Most of the time, the person is probably not even aware of their ignorance and is simply throwing their microaggression towards anyone who dares to walk beside them.

We are always taught not to judge and not to discriminate against folks, yet it seems like too many people have trouble understanding this easy motto. It honestly shouldn't be that hard not to put yourself above those who literally walk on the same planet as you do – however, many individuals need to seriously reconsider their life choices:

In-store shopping can certainly be emotionally and even physically tiring, so most of the time buying things online saves us our nerves and gives us some free time to do something else, though, of course, there are days when you would rather take a stroll to your nearest chain. Well, this online user took it to one of Reddit's well-known communities to share an unpleasant encounter he had experienced with a sales assistant. The post received 21K upvotes and 1.2K worth of comments discussing the unprofessional behavior of the salesman.

A self-proclaimed late bloomer who looks like he's in his twenties but is actually slightly over 30, who also describes himself as a Kenyan photographer that loves to dress for comfort, was shopping around for a new washing machine when this unnecessary unpleasant event occurred. The author revealed that before visiting the store in person, he checked the available appliance online and once he confirmed that the item that he wanted was in stock, he headed straight to the store.

Once the OP arrived at the store, he went straight to the home appliance section where a salesperson greeted him. The man checked out the exact washing machine that he wanted and together with a sales assistant, they began discussing the model. Of course, the assistant asked whether the man was planning on buying it, but before proceeding, he wondered whether there were any discounts or payment plans available.

The author also mentioned that he had actually bought a cooker before at this exact place, so he somewhat knew about the plans and while he could've afforded to buy the washing machine straight away, he wanted to spread the cost a little in order to be financially comfortable with the purchase. However, a well-dressed couple appeared and the salesman left the OP hanging.

Naturally, the man was puzzled so he questioned the salesman, to which he replied that he was serving customers and that perhaps the author could wander around and look for something that he could actually afford. It completely infuriated the OP, so he went up to the customer service to repeat his enquiry once again. The person offered the help of the same guy that left the author for "wealthier" folks, but without any hesitation, the man declined.

The OP said that he already knew what he was buying and all he needed was a little help with paperwork. The person did just that and the man paid the full amount on the spot. Though, when they were finishing up with the formalities, the salesman appeared and claimed that the OP was his client but he denied and the woman listed herself as the sales agent.

The good news is that those folks get decent commissions from each sale and the salesman that ditched our OP was left without a bonus because the couple didn't purchase anything. And as a cherry on top, before leaving, the author turned around and proudly said: "turns out I could afford it."
