I have talked up her products in my classes to my students for not even a "thank you". For her to not even hear my full question before interrupting me TWICE (and other people were in earshot - there was eyerolling!), that's rude. And I can happily spend my money elsewhere.

I'm often so shocked when someone says something like that to me that I buy nothing... no beads, no tuts, never a class!
