Hello Twitterers.

If you're reading this, you most likely saw my tweet. Thank you for caring about me :P

Well yesterday I went shopping with my sister. My Mums brush broke that morning, so being the lovely kiddies we are, we thought we'd go buy her a new brush.
We went to the pharmacy in Stockland (for those who aren't in Townsville, it's a shop) and looked at the brushes. We found the one we were going to buy, and my sister brushed the end of my hair and said "Now you have lovely hair". Nothing to bad, but the store policy in there is "You brush it, you bought it" (although there are no signs saying this!) Now we were buying the brush anyway, plus planning to buy alot more items, and fill some scripts, but the old (now I say old, but you may think 'what to a 19 y/o is old' well, she looked around 55+) women who worked there, camde up to us (my sister and I) and basically yelled "YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THAT NOW!" and my sister said "We are buying it" to which was replied "YEAH YOU USED IT YOU HAVE TO BUY IT!" (May I say at this point, even if we weren't going to buy it, it was a $3 brush. Not like we are poor!) My sister said again "Yes, we are buying it". We then went back to looking at other brushes for my sister. The old lady just stood there, staring at us. We then walked off to look at perfumes and colognes. The lady followed us and kept watching us. She then yelled "I CAN RING IT UP FOR YOU NOW!" and I replied "Can you not see we are STILL looking around". She finally walked off. We were relieved. Then I saw her talking to another employee. Next minute that employee was following us around the store. So my sister and I just walked randomly around saying "WOW she's so ninja" and laughing. After awhile it did get old. Being followed like common criminals. So my sister said "Fuck this" and threw the brush and stormed out of the store. We were then chased out, with the employee saying we were thieves. I said "We were buying the fucking brush (yes I know, there was no need for language, but if you were followed around like a common dog, you'd be a tad pissed too) we didn't appreciate being followed!" To whcih she replied "You're thieves, that's theft" and my sister said "THE BRUSH IS IN THE STORE!" and no matter what we said she would reply "You're thieves, that's theft". My sister said, "WE'LL GO PAY FOR THE BRUSH THEN!" So we walked to the counter and waited, but I thought "Nah, f**k this, I'm not letting them treat me like this" So I went and told a manager. He said he'd talk to the employees (whether he did or not, I don't know). The point is after all this, my sister was crying. They made my little sister cry over a $3 brush.

I may have rambled during this, but my point is; Why are young kids (even tho at 19, I don't think I'm that young) treated like garbage at shops. Admittedly it is usually older people, which begs the question if it is just because they are given a tiny bit of power in a deadend job? Because they're angry that they have a deadend job? All of the above?

Well they lost around $200 on items we were going to buy, and now I will not be going back there.

I would ask you to join me in my boycott of angry old bitches, and infact I will.

Join the boycott of the angry old bitch pharmacy that made my poor little sister cry!

Thankyou for reading, have a good day.
