America’s Party Wholesaler

Phone Conversation with Guy from America’s Party Wholesaler:
Guy: Hello, Party Wholesale
Me: Hi! I’m looking for plastic square plates
Guy: No se if we have. I don’t want to go look for the escalera.
Me: Ummm. so you don’t know if you have any and you aren’t willing to check?
Guy: No, No I can’t right now. Estoy solo aqui en la tienda.
Me: Ok, can you take down my phone number and check when there is someone else there and then call me back?
Guy: Eh, no. Come by.
Me: Eh, no. Good bye.
The phone conversation was enough.

I’d been here several times before for party supplies (mostly when I have been too lazy or tired to drive to he awesome party wholesale places in the Doral sincce they are far from me), but after my experience here yesterday, I don’t think I will ever be back.
I’ll tell you why…
I was on the hunt for Chinese take-​out style favor boxes for my friend’s bby shower. I called ahead and they assured me that they carried them here. I arrived to find that the store was basically staring to fall apart. Doors that don’t work, cardboard on the windows, etc. Mighty sad. When I saw that the Chinese favor boxes were up high on a shelf (like 6 feet up easily), I asked for help getting them down. Just with that, there were a few things that went wrong and here they are:
1.) An employee blew me off and told the cashier to help me
2.) The cashier shouted to the guy that she could not help because she was ringing out customers
3.) The guy finally came about 3 or 4 minutes after I asked him and oh so happily got up on the ladder
4.) Said employee then proceeded to tell me that although the box was ½ empty that I could not fill it up with favor boxes from another package and still get the 50 favor boxes per order deal… because it was my fault that the box was open, right? Pffft
Here is the Pièce de résistance…
5.) WHILE I was still in front of him and WHILE he was up on the ladder, he shouted over to the «office» that he had no idea why they sold these «damn boxes» because with all the manpower that it takes to assemble them and get them down for customers «just to make FKIN 10 cents off a sale» wasn’t worth it.
UM, EXCUSE ME!!! I AM RIGHT HERE YOU FOOL!!! Who the hell says that IN FRONT of a client??? Wait until I leave at least, @$$hole.
Before he could even turn back to me I said, you know what, its okay, I’ll go and give someone else my business and I proceeded to leave the building… honestly, probably to never be back again.
In retrospect, what I should’ve done was made him keep opening boxes for me to check them and THEN left empty handed, but whatever, hidsight is ²⁰⁄₂₀ I guess…
