Douche canoe says what?

Can I just complain about an idiot sales associate at GNC? So I went in for some iron because the ob says im anemic. Douche canoe sales guy does not stop trying to upsell me on random crap, all the while calling me young lady. I'm 38 ok and he was like 13, but what ever.

So his final attempt at upsell goes like this: you should really get these omega chews because they're good for your joints and you're going to be carrying a lot of weight.

I'm sorry what? Screw you you flippin tool. Thanks for predicting my inability to manage my baby weight. Maybe I'm being hormonal, but I'm super annnoyed.

Something I've noticed about GNC sales people is they always talk to you like they're your personal trainer and they've known you forever. One guy kept calling my husband the incredible hulk because of his size and muscle mass. It pissed him off. What made it worse was he kept referring to protien powder my husband was buying as hulk juice. Fricken little twig of a man, I thought my husband was going to snap him in half!

There must be a section in the employee handbook about how to annoy the customer.

I've had trouble with anemia, and my midwife recommended a behind-the-counter iron/folate pill (not prescription, just controlled, for some reason).  That way I don't have to deal with that crap.  Luckily, pharmacists rarely try to upsell you on anything.
