Female Customer Disheartened Over Department Store Staff’s Response to Her Inquiry
A female customer expressed her frustration over the response she received from a department store staff member regarding her inquiry.
Recently, a Facebook user named Mejias Lyn Sarah shared her frustrating experience at a department store. The post quickly went viral on social media and sparked various reactions online.
Sarah shared her encounter with a staff member that left her feeling disheartened. She had spent a busy day managing rental cars and taking photos of vehicles for sale. Amid her hectic schedule, she decided to take a break and visit the mall to enjoy some food and check out items she needed, including a split-type air conditioner and beds for her children.
She specifically wanted high-quality products, with beds priced above P20,000 and a good-quality air conditioner.
Despite her clear interest, Sarah was disappointed to find that no one seemed to notice her. Eventually, she approached a sales staff to inquire about the price and availability of a bed she liked.
The staff member’s response was, “Pricey po kasi yun eh.” This response made Sarah feel overlooked and undervalued as if her appearance led the staff to dismiss her as not serious about purchasing.
Sarah reflected on how the staff’s attitude seemed to be influenced by her appearance, making her feel like she was being judged rather than assisted.
Her post resonated with many people who have experienced similar issues, highlighting how sometimes people’s perceptions are unfairly shaped by appearances.

“Maghapon akong aligaga , tatlong rental car ko kasi inendorse ko and picture din ng mga for sale na car ng asawa ko.
Swerte na talaga kung makasingit pa magsaya or katulad ngayon na nakapag mall saglit para magfoodtrip at makapag check ng mga gamit na kailangan bilhin,
Naalala ko na need nga pala namin ng split type ac at bed ng mga kids Kaya sinabay ko na din ang pagtingin , gusto ko talaga quality bed sana , na Ang mga worth ay nasa 20k pataas and ac na maganda na din sana pero … Walang Pumapansin sakin,
May isang salescrew na tinanong ko sa available stock ng bed na pinaka nagustuhan ko at kung magkano and ang sagot sakin..
“pricey po kasi yun eh”.
Then napatingin ako sa sarili ko .. oo nga muka akong bata na galing kung San, na naligaw lang sa mall at niloloko at Pinapagod Sila
Minsan talaga ang pagtingin sayo ng tao nakabase sa itsura mo.”
