Rude Old Aunty @ Jayshrees Chatsworth

I'm getting married and the very first store I decided to visit (big mistake), was Jayshrees in Chatsworth, Durban. As we walked in, an elderly employee asked us very harshly if we needed help (upset that customers had walked in, it seemed). We asked to have a look at their Bridal wear, to which she re-affirmed - "Bridal?". We were then asked what colour we were looking for, to which we replied red. She proceeded to show us a red outfit, which looked quite orange, and we proceeded to ask her for something darker. She asked if she could show us sarees - she pulls out the same colour - we ask for something darker - she then proceeds to get angry... showing us BLUE, GREEN, and ORANGE lehenga's (what I would wear as a guest), these are packed on a shelf - and says - "THESE ARE ALL BRIDAL COLOURS, LOOK ALL BRIDAL COLOURS. (pointing to the light blue, light green, etc) THATS A BRIDAL COLOUR(referring to the 'red' outfit). WHY DONT YOU JUST PUT IT ON AND SHOW HIM. THERES THE CHANGING ROOM - GO PUT IT ON AND SHOW HIM". To which we politely replied - 'no thanks Aunty" and walked out.
