Now, that is either clueless or insensetive. Like she thinks no one
buys stuff as presents. I also rather don't much like clerks who tell
me what I need.

I had a similar experience attempting to buy a shock absorber for my
vehicle at Sears. The clerk insisted to know what kind of vehicle, and
refused to sell me the one I wanted. Actually, I have bought nearly
nothing at Shears after that.

I tried to buy perfume for a Christmas present. "May I help you,"
inquired
the matron at the perfume counter of an upscale store.

"Yes, I want that bottle of perfume - 'Woman' by Jovan"

"No," she said. "You want the one next to it, 'Man' "

"Uh, no, I want 'Woman' "

"Really, sir, 'Man' is the one for you" she insisted.

"You're beginning to sound like my ex-wife. I know what I want"

"Sir," she explained, but her patience was clearly being exhausted.
"They
work completely different. You're a male and 'Man' is the fragrance
for
you."

I fixed her with a steely stare. "If you must know, I'm having a sex
change
operation right after the first of the year and I'm trying to stock up
on
all the gear. Gimmie 'Woman'!"

I distinctly hear the word "Eek" as she hurriedly shuffled away to get
a
supervisor.
