“Hello. Can I help you find something specific today?” The very young and beautiful cosmetic salesgirl asked while quickly storing away her half eaten bag of potato chips under the counter.
Yes, which way to the miracle aisle?
“Um, I’m not really sure. Just looking for now.”
“I can show you some great new skin care products.”
You think my skin looks like crap. Don’t you?
“Uh... Okay thanks.”
“How about a new chemical peel? It does wonders for age spots and wrinkles.”
You’re gonna get older one day too sister and I hope I’m still alive to revel in your misery.
“Yeah, uh, I guess that would be great. Thanks”
“Have you ever thought of trying some bolder colors of lip gloss and eye shadow?”
Why? To accentuate my wrinkles and age spots?
“Um. No. Not really.”
“Let me show you some shades that would look good with your coloring.”
Note that your ass will fall too.
“Okay.”
“Oh yes, these are much better colors for you”
With any luck, you will sprout chin hair
“Yes, I see what you mean”
“There. I think you did great. You are going to love your new makeup look.”
I will now live for the day when those potato chips catch up to your perky helpful ass.
“I’m sure I will. Thanks so much for your help.”

Well, that's just insensitive of her.
If the stores were smart they would hire beautiful age-appropriate women to sell that stuff.
I've also become one of those people who says things like "youth is wasted on the young."
Oh, man, why do salespeople like to put their feet in their mouths??? If you ever find that miracle aisle let me know. It'd be a miracle if it didn't have a pushy salesperson. Sorry, they just get under my skin.
This has happened to me. Word for word. hahaha. Not funny at the time.
Why don't they just sell paper sacks, right?
I love the line about the chips catching up to her perky ass!
If there is a God her boobs will sag and become two different sizes after she has kids...more immediately hopefully those chips will make her break out!
They really should have more "mature" salespersons...for women over 40- "bright, bold" colors are not necessarily something a 40+ woman would/should wear.
GEEZ! Could she be any less supportive!
Eh, it'll all catch up to her one day.
For now she's just trying to do her job. Haha.
Too funny!
It does suck to get older!
Those freakin' chin hairs. I rip the suckers out the moment they are long enough to be grasped with tweezers, which makes my left eye water and takes my mind off my butt hitting the back of my knees when I walk.
freakin sales girls with all their eagerness and perkiness...it's sickening is what it is
OMG... that's too funny!!
I love you "thoughts". Crackin' me right up.
Sprouting chin hair ~ classic LMAO
Yep, those chips are gonna catch up with her!
This is why I only shop online. This and the fact that my children are banned from my local Sephora.
I agree. Hard to believe when we are that young that we'll ever be as old as we are. ;-)
I hate perky and young...
I was putting on eyeliner the other day and noticed that my eyelids...um....are not exactly as easy to paint as they once were. WTF? When did that happen?
Getting older blows.
At least the saleslady didn't say, "Would you like to try this perfume?" then spray you in the face, blinding you, before you had a chance to respond. Then as you stumble away,the saleslady says, "My God. She must be drunk."
I walk very quickly and purposefully by those counters.
That's a situation many of us face at one time or another. My quiet thoughts were perhaps not as polite as yours. ;)
What's even worse is when you're in another setting, social or quasi-social, and the same helpful, porcelain skinned, perky boobed horror show performs the same bit.
Don't worry; karma is Always a bitch!
If only we appreciate youth when we were young, right?
This post was hilarious, I think we all have the same internal dialogue going on when dealing with young, perky salespeople.
Yeah, how come they are always with soda and chips? Young bitches!
They have a surprise coming.
This is why I only shop at Best Buy.
Also explains why I'm 15,000 dollars in debt on my Best Buy card.
LOL. The funny, and infuriating, thing is: they never want to talk to you when you DO need help.
Oh, god. Speaking of sprouting chin hairs...this is another thing my mother never warned me about. So, I'm never telling my daughter either. I don't want to spoil the surprise of a 2-incher that popped out overnight.
LOL! Don't you hate that..they are so cute and perky and make you feel so old and ugly...
I can't shop at cosmetic counters. My ego can not take it.
I'm with Unknown Mami. It's too hard for me. So, off to the drug store to buy the cheap stuff.
Amazing how those young skinny perky things really grate on our nerves as we get just a little teensy bit older!
I hope she sprouts lots of chin hair.
I am following from MBC as well-come by and follow my bloggy blog back if you would like. It is nice to meet you! ~Juliana from A Blonde Walks Into A Blog!
You know...those are the ladies who later in the day will come out of the bathroom with toliet paper stuck to her shoe.
LOL!!!
I still have not recovered from nose hairs. OUCH!
I've earned the right to wear crow's feet and to be real slow getting up from chairs.
Sheesh.
I hate going into those beauty counters. I always leave buying something they say will make a difference though! UGHHH
No wonder I don't go to the cosmetic counter anymore! LoL
Ha! Thanks for the laugh. I hate the cosmetic counter. I avoid it all costs.
Oh wow probably why I avoid those places all together ... LOL :)
I'm sorry I'm laughing because I've been there.
I only buy my stuff at the drug store, CVS to be exact, and nobody tries to help you there..as a matter of fact I need to track someone down just to pay for the stuff...and the ladies that work there are all older than me..see I have it all planned out..besides I never compare myself to others, just to a better version of myself...LOL
I like buying stuff like this on-line or at Walgreens. Makeup counter ladies scare me. I know what they are thinking about me and it makes me all depressed. And those bright lights! Why, oh WHY do they have to be that bright?!!? Please don't look at my face that closely. Or any other part of me. MmmmmmMm'kay? Thanks.
Love your thought about the potato chips catching up to her. I find myself thinking that more and more about helpful young people!
And that is why I shop Sephora.com for all my makeup needs!
hahaha..
following from MBC FFF :) Great blog!!

Ha I Absolutely LOVE your blog!!!! I just found it via MBC!!
lmao at her the young chip eating Bitch! Why do they hire them!
Heh heh. That's why I avoid make-up counters ALTOGETHER!!!
Too funny. She definitely could have been way more tactful than that! Did you end up buying the shadow or gloss?
" With any luck you will sprout chin hair." Oh that is TOO funny!!!
