I have never seen anything like this!

I walk into an AutoZone with a battery that I would like them to test. Generally, that would possibly mean I would be buying a new battery if mine tested bad, right? There were 3 people behind the desk. As I got close to one, they scooted away. Then another. All seemed to be completely ignoring me! And they were not serving another person. I noticed they had a self checkout register, but this is an auto parts store, not the grocery store! You usually go in an auto store with questions. I made some remarks to the effect "A store that does not want to sell anything!" as I walked out. It was almost comical and surreal, like something out of the twilight zone.

Service is indeed a dying art these days. One of the only retailers I still find to provide decent service is our local ACE Hardware.

I've seen that type of behavior. They get paid whether they help customers or not...it's easier to choose not.

I would have walked out too.

I would've marched my @ss right up there and very boldly said hello I need someone to assist me please. But then again I can be a b***h when I get ignored in a store.

Wanna become invisible? Be an older person walking into a cellphone store with a phone in your hand, looking confused. All of a sudden, all three of the clerks need to do something in the back room....

A fellow I knew was an optometrist and had a small store. He said old people can be annoying. One old man came into the store and said his glasses were a little loose. He said "I took them to the back of the store and pretended to adjust them, then
took them to him to try on". He said, "That's better", and walked out of the shop. I was disgusted with his remark but all the young
ones laughed. Never spoke to him again. I wonder how he'd react if someone did that to his old father?

I had a similar experience in an auto parts store. I forget if was Auto Zone but it probably was. There was a group of 3 who disbursed when they heard me say, "I gotta question."
