Customer Service at Sunglass Hut

When you walk into a Sunglass Hut store, before you can even get your two feet in the door, some annoying clueless assistant will be up in your face with a smile as big and cheesy as a cartoon cat's asking you "if you need any help". The only person that needs help is the dumb broad who should be stabbed in the face with a high dose of Botox to get rid of that fake considerate smile.

Even though there are days that you just feel like browsing to kill time, those vultures are making you try on pairs and suggesting pairs that you completely and utterly don't like. They think they are your personal stylist and treat you like you don't have your own taste and style. They try and force you into buying or lay-bying, and in those cases all you need to do is give them a firm "i'm not buying, let me just look!", and looking is NOT a crime.

The other thing that makes me chuckle all the time, is that the sales assistance don't have a clue about the styles and models they have. One particular circumstance, my friend walked in and tried on a pair of Versace sunglasses and the sales assistant had no idea what to say in order to sell them so she said "Oh those are gorgeous, Angelina Jolie also owns those sunglasses". My friend, an avid Angelina Jolie fan and owner of one of her online fansites was quick to jump in by saying:

Friend: "really? when exactly was Angelina seen wearing them?"

Sales Assistant: "In a magazine"

Friend: "Which magazine?"

Sales Assistant: (now nervously) It was ages ago

Friend: So that means these sunglasses are an old model?

Sales Assistant: No, actually it might not of been Angelina

Friend: Why would you say that then?..anyways we gotta go.


Don't feed us shit to sell a pair of overpriced sunglasses...we're not stupid

  1. As you may have noticed, the classics are hip again this summer. At Sunglasshutusa there are Wayfarer again this season, round lenses and glasses with an upper bridge in a flat shape.
