So yesterday, I'm at a department store waiting as the sales associate rings up my purchase and I notice that she smells really nice. So I say, "wow, you smell great, what is that you're wearing"? She responds, "oh, it's a lotion I get at Bath and Body Works".
I say, "do you remember the name of it"? And she responds, "yes", and then looks down at the register.
Ummmm, okay, weird...so feeling a little awkward, but with a huge smile, I say, "well, are you going to tell me"? And she says, "it's just for me. It's my personal scent, I don't want to share that information".
WTF!

"her personal scent" that's mass-produced and sold all over the world? What. Ever.
"So if you told me, you might have to kill me?"
BUT...under the circumstances....she might have.... PSYCHO...GEEZ!

People have their quirks for their own reasons. Let her have her quirks and move on.
Finally fealing peace.
On the other hand... I don't think I'd comment on how someone smells in the first place because I think all perfumes stink.
You excel at being a weirdo super bitch', have a nice day!"
I just don't understand people like this. I have never in my life refused to share info like that, especially if someone has complimented me. You know like people that refuse to share recipes and such. Now if culinary is their livelihood, well then of course I understand them not sharing. But just your ordinary person not sharing info like, where they get their haircut, or whatever, WTH, just simply bizarre in my book.
She could have just said she didn't remember what the scent was called... There's no need to be rude (esp when u work in customer service)
"Well, I try to find the positive in everyone, so I'd have to say... 'You excel at being a weirdo super bitch', have a nice day!"
Seriously, I think a hearty laugh and a little head shake would have put her in her place. WOW, some women, that's how we treat other women?
When other women ask me what I'm wearing, I'm all like "OMG, it's PINK SUGAR by Aquolina, you HAVE TO GET IT!!! Here, let me spray you!!", but I'm a little over enthusiastic like that. My husband says I should be in marketing.
