I bet they just didn’t like pale people

Are you kidding? The full timers, not the blue collar but the trust fund set is the rudest of all. If you are missing this experience you need to check out the Ross School parking lot. The level of entitlement and rudeness is shocking

I, on the other hand, find the local LOCAL store staff lovely and friendly and helpful. It’s the staff in the fancy designer boutiques - who are NOT from here - who are stuffy and rude… hey, movie stars wear jeans and t-shirts just like the locals. How DO you know I’m not someone “famous” …and my money, by the way, is just as good as a celebrity’s. I may not be a size 2, but maybe I’m looking to buy something as a gift for someone who DOES. I may be carrying a Sportsac and not a Gucci bag, but so what? Or perhaps I want a gift certificate. Don’t just sniff in the air and walk away or IGNORE me. Hmmph.

The workers at Riverhead Building Supply are incredibly brusque and rude. And they live in the Hamptons year round. I agree with most of your posts, but not everyone who lives out East year round is warm and fuzzy.

The owners of Breadzilla are so caught up with manners and rules, yet they don’t follow the rules they create. In fact, if the workers are “too friendly” with the customers, they get fired.

The glass and shower door company in Wainscott is absolutely horrid regarding service as well. If you give them your keys willy nilly, they will send someone out without an appointment or letting you know when they plan to come. If you are upset that they didn’t follow your instructions or didn’t answer the questions you asked, then they turn away your business.

I’ve never seen such rudeness in my life towards paying customers.

I agree! I’ve had some really snotty behavior Lately from locals who ought to know better, and I imagine they think they blend in with the great unwashed. However, heads-up locals: ya don’t. Your neighbors behind counters have long memories: behave yourselves.

would probably been better off buying your sunscreen at RiteAid rather than trying to support some over priced surf shop with snotty clerks. i would have walked out.
