Persistence Doesn’t Always Pay

I went to the nail shop today, like I do one Sunday every month to get my shellac manicure (I swear by it…no chips and it lasts almost a month). Instead of going to my regular place, I stopped by a new spot to see if they’re any good. I’m all for people trying to hustle, but these people are persistent in all the wrong ways!

Nail Lady: “You get eyebrows today? $8″

Me: “Nope, just nails today”

Nail Lady: “Great! You do eyebrows! $8!”

Me: “No eyebrows today, thanks though”

Nail Lady: “You come back here *motioning to the back of the shop* with me when nails dry for eyebrows! $8!!”

Me: “LOOK! I’m not getting my damn eyebrows waxed today. Okay!? Stop asking me and stop telling me!”

Nail Lady: “Oooh you get so ghetto when you mad! Funny lady!”

Me: “For real?? You can’t conjugate a verb the right way to ask me if I’ll be getting my eyebrows waxed today, but you know about ghetto?? Ehhhh??

Nail Lady: *blank stare* Your total $35 for today. Thank you!!

 

Seriously, what in the entire hell? They haven’t had much traffic since they’ve opened and now I see why. Plus my nails were all jacked up and I had to get her to fix it twice. I’ll be going back to my usual spot next time.

    Oh you went there, huh? I’m dying over your grammar chastisement. Great comeback.
