ALRIGHT. I HAVE TO RANT, RAVE, PISS AND MOAN. I THINK I SHOULD BE PAID EXTRA TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE WAY TOO IMPATIENT. I KNOW, I KNOW. THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR WORKING WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN RETAIL. BUT HONESTLY, PEOPLE! WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO YOUR FACE THAT YOUR PRECIOUS RING IS GOING TO TAKE ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS TO ARRIVE, YOU BETTER LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT.
WHERE DO I BEGIN ON THIS ONE? HMMMM. WELL, PRIME EXAMPLE: LADIES, IF YOU COME INTO A JEWELRY STORE WITH YOUR MAN OR WHATEVER, AND YOU FIND "THE" RING, BE A LADY AND NOT A SNOTTY, SELF-ABSORBED-BIPPYTWAT-CUNT! THERE...I SAID IT. IF I WERE TO SIZE YOUR FINGER, AND LET'S SAY YOU ARE PETITE AND HAVE SMALL FINGERS LIKE A SIZE FOUR, UM SORRY TO TELL YA THAT CHANCES ARE, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE MADE.
WHY? WELL WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY, I'LL TELL YA THAT VENDORS MAKE 90% OF WOMEN'S RINGS IN A STOCK SIZE 7. IT IS A UNIVERSAL AVERAGE SIZE. ANOTHER REASON IS DEPENDING ON THE DESIGN, IF THERE ARE DIAMONDS ON THE SIDE OF THE CENTER STONE, JEWELERS TYPICALLY DON'T WANT TO ASSUME THE LIABILITY TO SIZE IT FROM A 7 DOWN TO A 4. 3 SIZES IS A LOT! PLUS IF THAT WERE TO BE DONE, CHANCES ARE 98% OF TIME, YOU WILL GUARANTEE LOSE YOUR DIAMONDS. THE TENSION AND INTEGRITY ARE NOT AS STRONG! THAT IS WHY I'M GONNA TELL YOU THAT I'D MUCH RATHER ORDER IT CUSTOM MADE FOR THE SAME PRICE JUST FOR YOU. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT IDEA? NOTHING, EXCEPT I KNOW YOU WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION. WHO DOESN'T? OR WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THE JEWELER DO A SHITTY JOB JUST SO YOU CAN WEAR IT TO SHOW OFF, AND WHEN YOU LOSE A DIAMOND THE SAME OR NEXT DAY, YOU'LL COME STOMPING IN LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO FUCKIN' PROVE AND ASK WHY YOU LOST A DIAMOND OR MORE. THEN YOU'RE GONNA MOST LIKELY DEMAND THAT IT BE TAKEN CARE OF, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU ONCE AGAIN THAT IT WILL TAKE A FEW WEEKS TO BE DONE. THEN YOU'LL DEMAND THAT YOU WANT IT DONE SOONER. HAHA. I'M GONNA LAUGH IN YOUR DUMB FACE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WAIT THE FEW WEEKS AND HAVE A PERFECT CUSTOM RING FOR YOUR FINGER, OR SPEND ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME BRINGING YOUR RING BACK TO ME, AND I'LL KEEP SENDING TO THE JEWELER OVER AND OVER AND HE'LL GET TIRED OF SEEING THE RING AND DOING IT FOR FREE, AND REFUSE TO WORK ON IT ANYMORE AND THEN YOU'LL STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE ORDERED. HMMMMM. THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT. IT'S OK TO THINK. TRY IT. ARE YOU DONE THINKING NOW? DO YOU NEED MORE TIME? OK, I GUESS I'LL ASSUME THAT YOU KINDA GRASP WHAT I'M GETTING AT.
IF I SELL YOU THE RING, I AM TRULY HAPPY FOR YOU. I DO HAVE A PASSION FOR SYMBOLS OF LOVE. THAT IS WHY I DO IT. I KNOW HOW I FELT, AND WHEN I WAS ENGAGED, I WAS RECRUITED TO COME INTO THE JEWELRY BIZ. EVER SINCE, I STILL STAND BEHIND MYSELF WHEN I SAY THAT I AM REALLY HAPPY FOR PEOPLE WHO EXPRESS THEIR HAPPINESS, AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. I'VE NEVER HELPED ONE PERSON BUY A PIECE OF JEWELRY WHO WANTED TO DO IT CUZ THEY HATE SOMEONE. I'VE HAD LADIES BUY THEMSELVES DIVORCE RINGS ETC. I DID! IT IS A POSITIVE CELEBRATION. I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BE PISSED OFF AT ME, THE SALES ASSOCIATE, BECAUSE YOUR RING ISN'T PERFECT. GREAT THINGS MAY NEED TO TAKE TIME! I ALSO KNOW WHAT INSTANT GRATIFICATION MEANS.
I WILL NEVER FORGET LAST YEAR, A GUY AND GAL CAME IN, SHE PICKED OUT THE PERFECT RING. THEY BOUGHT IT.WE ASKED IF WE COULD SIZE IT FOR HER, AND IT WOULD BE BACK THE VERY NEXT DAY. "NO," SHE SAID, BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO SHOW HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR THE WEEKEND AND SHE'D BRING IT BACK ON MONDAY. WELL, TUESDAY CAME AND THE GUY CAME BACK AND WE ASKED IF WE WERE GOING TO SIZE THE RING. HE SAID NO, BECAUSE SHE LOST A $5000 DIAMOND RING IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER. THEY WERE ON A BOAT CELEBRATING AND SHE MADE A HAND GESTURE, AND **PLOP** RIGHT IN THE WATER. THE GUY WAS SO ANGRY, AND THE GAL WAS CRYING. HE WENT ON TO SAY HE HIRED A TEAM OF DIVERS THAT SAME AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND MONDAY. THE DIVERS NEVER FOUND IT. SO THIS MAN HAD TO BUY THE SAME RING FOR ANOTHER $5000 PLUS HER WEDDING BAND SINCE THEIR WEDDING DAY WAS THE NEXT WEEK. I FEEL SORRY FOR HIS MASTERCARD!!! HE COULDN'T EVEN TURN IT INTO HIS INSURANCE COMPANY FOR A CLAIM! OUCH! SO MUCH MONEY FOR THE RINGS, THE DIVERS. WHEN I SUGGEST YOU SIZE YOUR RING, AND YOU SAY NO, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! HAHA.
ALL I HAD YESTERDAY WERE BIPPYTWATS CALLING ME ASKING WHEN THEIR RINGS ARE GONNA BE IN. UM WHAT PART OF 6-8 WKS AND I WILL CALL YOU WHEN IT IS CONFIRMED HERE, DIDN'T THEY UNDERSTAND?? GRRRRRR. DON'T CALL ME AFTER TWO WEEKS!
