*Sigh*
Hey guys!! Alright, I have given this some serious thinking. And I honestly want to make things right. I apoligize for making generalizations. And if I sounded like I was a know-it-all I'm sorry for that. My intent wasn't to try and speak for anyone but myself or insult any different age groups. I think there is beauty at any age, young or old. I am really sorry- re-reading my posts I think I came off completely wrong. I didn't exactly get off to a very good footon Specktra! I hope you guys can forgive me and that we can all just get past and focus on our commonality- MAC.

That's why they've been loyal for so many years.
-I don't think of a young hip girl. You may, but you're simply one person in a customer base of billions. Sure there's probably other 16 year olds who agree with you, but you don't represent every 16 year old. As a 25 year old, I think of unique colors and quality at an affordable price. Notice I said unique, not bright. Because Vex is damn unique color if I do say so myself and I've used that on 80 year olds and they looked stunning!
-I cannot believe you used an example of a homeless man wandering into Saks. All I can really say to that is WHAT THE F*CK? Little lady you better change your views if you ever expect to work for MAC. And I really do mean that in a kind way. You have a lot to learn. I'm trying not to be condescending, but you must realize that you don't know everything, nor should you be expected to, but come on now!

What I was saying about old women in drag queen makeup wasn't directly realted to MAC. But I have seen some 50+ women come and buy Parfait Amor (or however the heck ya spell it!) and then proceed to smear it from lash line to brow. Thats just wrong to me. Thats all I was saying about that! And maybe my little comparison was a tad mean. Sorry. And about how you said I would have to change my views to work at MAC, theres a way to have your own personal opinions and hide them from customers. I would never insult or belittle a customer! But in my head, I might roll my eyes!

Like this thing about a homeless person? SonRisa hit the nail on the head when she said What the F*ck? And how you're looking at it from a Marketing point of view-but then you say you're a minor, with a 3.8 GPA, go to high school full time (I didn't know you could go only part time?
), and are active in your church.
Sweetie, you can have your opinions but let me tell you real quick that just because you're high school teacher said something about marketing, doesnt make you an expert.
You are always welcome to an opinion as well. But as you have learned rather quickly on here your opinion must have something credible to back it up with. Not something your high school teacher told you.
But babe-I'm only 23, I go to college, I'm taking 18 hours this semester, working a 40 hour work week, and have a husband and a kid to go home too every night. I grew up kinda fast. I've learned that I don't know everything and most importantly, I don't have to be right. I've learned that 99% of the time if I just shut up and listened to people-who have already been through what i'm going through life is a hell of a lot easier. I've also learned not to discriminate against people.
Barbie-you are going to have to grow up a WHOLE lot if you want to work at MAC and your attitude will have to change. I think you are very smart and have a lot going for you, but with the attitude I've read on here (and I pray to god its only an online thing) it will hold you back bigtime in the real world away from your parents.

Thats really cool that you can balance all that! I wasn't trying to say that my opinion was fact. It's just that- my opinion. About full-time- I just meant that I don't really have alot of free time on my hands! And I don't really think anyone needs facts to back up their opinion. I will adment I'm very judgemental. And about my attitude, if i do work at MAC I know I'd have to hide it from certain customers. Believe me, with my attitude I've learned to control it in certain environments! Thanks 4 the advice.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I definaetly should have said things differently. And yes I plan on buying MAC for a loong time. But when I'm 50 I won't be wearing the same colors i do now.

Well if those people are good enough for MAC, then why wouldn't they be good enough for you? And if I spelled them wrong I apoligize, when I get pissed I type really fast.
