Pompous asses

In the store i work in, we have a private room where they do the special orders. The managers don't want people in there unless they have an appointment, which is fine. The door to this private room, is an over engineered, over complicated sliding door. It couldn't just be a door activated with a mark 1 power supply and motor (An arm) no, it has to be 'special' and magically slide open with the press of a button. It's all very (not) Star Trek. When i started working there the door was fucked, some times it closed, other times it didn't and we had to use the Mark 1 device to force it, which i'm guessing isn't a good thing. Well now the door is totally fucked and doesn't close at all, in fact it's so stuck in it's hidey hole that i, and others, can't even pull it out to close it. And so this door remains open. To all.

So, i now spend a good part of my day standing in this door way. People look passed me but don't try to enter it. Usually what will happen is this. Someone will sit down near me, i'll be in my door way being all 'Security Guardy' 10 minutes might pass, i'm still there, but then i get called and have to move to some other place, i move, and before i get to this new position, that person has gotten up and is now entering that private room. Now i have to stop what i'm doing and go back, and politely ask this person to leave the room. I'd like to ask them "Why did you think i was standing here, to be awkward?"_

 I usually say "Excuse me Sir/Madam, but this is a private room, and none of the shoes in here are for sale anyway". I say the same thing each time this happens. More often then not they just apologise and leave the room. If they ask to see the "Shoes" in there (there are some one off's. This is high fashion, and women go nuts for it) i say 'Sure" but i have to stay there until they leave the room. Yesterday a woman rolled her eyes at me and turned her back on my. A guy yesterday said "With the amount of money i spend in this shop you should invite in here 30 times over" (Wanker!) and today i got a "Tut, i'm just looking gaaaawwwwd".


You can really tell the nice people from the pompous asses this way. The nice people say say sorry and leave the room. The pompous asses think you owe them something so they stay.

These are the kinds of people it's okay to punch to the ground in public.
