multi-masking

i was browsing through the various Chuck Taylors on display when this salesman from Pony tries to catch my attention.

salesman: ma’am, maybe you would like to try out our shoes.
(i get distracted and decide to give him a chance.)
salesman: we also have high-cut designs, ma’am.
me (trying to pick out a style): mmm-hmm…
salesman: do you have Pony shoes, ma’am?
(i ignore him.)
salesman: our soles are durable, as compared to other brands, ma’am.
me (looking at him): is that so?
salesman (nodding): yes, ma’am!
me (with a sarcastic smirk): so you mean to say Converse is not durable at all?
salesman (seems to lose his composure): oh, we’re not allowed to mention brands which aren’t of good quality.
me: but you just said yours are durable as comparison to the others, didn’t you?
salesman: yes.
me: so again, you mean to say Converse is just a waste of money because their soles would wear out easily?
salesman: i’m sorry ma’am, that, i’m not sure.
me: ok.
(i shrug and then walk away.)

i’m a total biyotch, aren’t i?
