Comments for The Rude Hamptons - Tales of People Behaving Badly In Long Island's Summer Playground http://therudehamptons.com Share your rude Hamptons experience with us Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:52:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 Comment on Learning right from left in East Hampton by Lilli http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CommentsForTheRudeHamptons-TalesOfPeopleBehavingBadlyInLongIslandsSummerPlayground/~3/UPDV9Nzxt8g/ Lilli Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:33:18 +0000 http://therudehamptons.com/?p=262#comment-1768 Oh Yes, I know this place and the staff well. Very rude. Very hi-strung. I would have walked out of there but not before telling them where to stuff their paper. And merchants who treat customers like this wonder why people will flock to STAPLES in droves, once they open in Bridgehampton this spring. When Montauk Printing cries about how the "small businesses" are being edged out by the large retail corporations, they only need to look at behavior like this which drives customers away for good. If a clerk at Staples treated a customer like this, they would be SO FREAKIN FIRED. Local businesses: get your attitudes towards customers in check now! Oh Yes, I know this place and the staff well.

Let me add that the majority of patrons out there are also mean as snakes....they chip away at the merchant's kind demeanor, if they had any to begin with. I know all too well, since we had a business on Newtown Lane for 3 years (recently), and decided losing any semblance of kindness or humanity wasn't worth it....so we closed the shop! We didn't want to morph into our customers. There are very few (if any) places in the U.S. where fighting for a cheaper price is such blood sport and sooooo much fun for the customer. Everyone wanted a price below our cost!! Also, the general taste level of the customer is non-existant. All summer, you see a blur of sequins, bangles, spangles and alien-beings with vile face lifts....freaks! Too bad, since the area is truly beautiful. The new money doesn't "get it" at all! They have no respect for what came before them.....the tasteful towns and gorgeous architecture.....the arrogance is nauseating! There’s no excuse for the merchant’s bad behavior.

I walked in and was treated to a heapin' helping of aggressive, unkind attitude. I felt about as welcomed as if I had walked into their bathroom while they were in the tub. I don't know what their deal is, but they are awful. I'm in business in East Hampton, too, and we treat everyone who walks in with respect and courtesy, whether they are (or appear to be) "local", "city people", old, young, whatever. It's just basic decency and good business practice. I don't know how they stay in business treating people that way. I had a very similar experience a couple of years ago at Montauk Printing.

I know a landscaper who had to deal with a similar customer. His response was to go to their property in the middle of the night & unplant everything he had done. Just rip it all out of the ground & take it back with him. I thought that was pretty awesome. Power to the people. I know a landscaper who had to deal with a similar customer.
