Ha, well it's usually smaller business with employees/owners that are like that. For most big store chains the employees could care less!

Incredible.

Then I'll be much more likely to come back rather than just forget about the store forever or them just giving me a rude stare.
TRUE

I was unofficially banned from dadelands FYE's for just looking around and listening to music.

Might start to care if the regional manager in Atlanta keeps hearing about store # 2715 in Miami and calls the store manager on to the carpet.

- If you are not buying anything, please get out. (It got me by surprise, so I didn't know how to react - was I at fault for doing something as normal as checking out what they have in store??)

me-I'm just looking around to see what I'm going to buy

- Do you have money?

me-Not right now

-Then you are not going to buy anything

me- I'm here to see what you have in store [she stops me short]

- what are you looking for

me- I dON'T REMEMBER what I said but it had to be an album from an unknown band

- We don't have that here (she didn't even care look in her computer)

me- I spotted a Wilco album from afar: what about Wilco's Yankee HOtel?

- No we don't have that here either (THAT DUMBASS WASN'T EVEN LOOKING OR WANTING TO HELP ME OUT AND THE ALBUM WAS THERE)

- now, get out.

I went back to the store 3 weeks later, and somehow that POKEMON recognized me!!! But this time I had some money to spend but didn't know what to buy. Upon my enetering to the store, Pikachu yells at me... HEY HEY HEY, You get out or else I call security!!
I showed her my money and then she escorted me around the store... I didn't buy anything at the end.

LOL. I would like to think of this as more of an isolated incident, but honestly, I can see this sort of stuff being pretty common. Still, that lady was a bit over the top.

This is true, but a lot of those that can't find jobs is because they got a generic bachelors degree in business administration or management, international business, accounting etc. and they didn't try hard to enough to stand out from the crowd of thousands with the same degrees in the same fields.

So unless your something medical, computer or engineering related, your chances of getting a great job right out of college aren't very good unless you try REALLY hard and stand out from the crowd.
