Yeah, I'll tell them what colors I like... but it's always different from what they like. Or someone asks for something peachy, you show them peachy, and then they're like, "no", and points to something so obviously pink-pink. But I'm sure that happens at a regular makeup counter as well.
We're not required to take the tips off. The first time I went there and saw that I found it a bit weird too. I don't know where we would place the dipping alcohol though. Whenever I help someone with lipsticks I always ask if they want me to clean it with the alcohol. Or if someone asks me, I will. But other folks just take it and put it on and I'm like... gross. But even without tips I'm sure there are still people who will put it on their lips directly. I'm NEVER amazed anymore by the weird and unsanitary things customers do.
But really, I usually don't mind helping you if you're nice. 98% of the time I am willing to help because hell, why not? The only time I DON'T help is when I work with the assistant manager. And that's because whenever I help someone she's like, "Next time, tell them you can't help them." Which is really annoying because the manager lets me, and does it herself sometimes. But the assistant manager doesn't know what she's doing half the time, doesn't do anything, and always needs help or an explanation on how to do things twice or more. I COULD be like, "Well the manager allows me to", but I rather save the drama.
Also, our makeup brushes are behind the counter at my store. So you have to ask to see them. Sometimes I will give someone the brush to try a blush out, regardless that we have cotton balls, especially when the person wants to buy a brush as well, and she'll be like, "Don't give them the brush, that's what the cotton balls are for. They can have germs, blah blah blah." But seriously, when someone asks to see the brushes they touch them just the same, still rub it on their face, etc... minus with makeup... so what's the difference? But as I said, she knows NOTHING.

Ok...My pet peeve though.....There is no alcohol to dip the l/s and you guys keep the tips on the lipglosses...Now that bugs me about my CCO so I don't try on lip products by any means |
