So here's what I do: ask the person to call someone else to help me. If 
they don't have anyone, then ask to speak to the manager. If they're not 
available, then I'd leave and call the store later and speak to the 
manager or owner.

I won't presume you to tell you what to do: that's your choice. But I 
have found that speaking up does work, and was asking why you didn't try 
it: all too often in the early 21st century, people do not know that 
they are being rude unless you speak up and protest their lack of 
manners. Silence simply engenders the continued behavior. And 
complaining will sometimes work.

Besides, if you get really nasty and rude in return to the point of 
foaming at the mouth and casting aspirations about their parentage at 
the top of your voice, you feel so much better when you leave <g>.

Unfortunately, not always, and for damn sure, especially not in Boulder.
