As a professional make up artist for photo shoots, stage and screen, I can undeniably say that I know what I am doing when it comes to make up. This was the second time that I have been to Features within the last 6 months, and the same rude, impudent girl ""waited"" on me and my husband. Now, from working in cosmetic retail, I can understand a bad day, but both times that I visit, she happens to be in a mood?
Firstly, every question we asked was answered with an eye-roll or a sarcastic comment, and she literally treated us like cretans who couldn't possibly know anything about make up. A lady came in while she was ""helping"" us, and she didn't even make eye contact with her, and when the lady came back for a question, the girl snapped at her and her tone implied her calling the woman an idiot because she couldn't find a costume in the gigantic room of costumes! I felt bad for the woman, honestly... Plus, she kept talking smack about the other person who works there who ""is a terrible make up artist who thinks she knows everything.""
If I had wanted to be treated like an idiot by a histrionic self-obsessed girl then perhaps this would have been appropriate. And perhaps I wouldn't be so upset had this not been the second time that she has treated me this way.
I am not the type to EVER complain about such things, but this experience was ridiculous. Dont waste your time getting berated by a super-bitch when you need to buy make up-- it makes spending that money so much more expensive.
