She wasn't sucky at all, but I wanted to share this.
Ok, I'm not working at a "sports" store that sells a lot of non-sport related goods. I work in softgoods, so sell shoes and clothes.
Anyhoo, Customer comes in, I do my usual "Hi! Are you looking for anything in particular?" She says yes, and then proceeds to tell me she's looking for a few new shirts that look good on her. Ok, so far so good, right? She was of a fairly athletic build, so most clothes look ok. However, she was wearing biking gear (I think. Far too much spandex for ANYONE anyway) that didn't match. Not brightly colored or anything, but just... didn't match.
So I spend the next half hour helping her find some nice t-shirts, a pair of capris, and a pair of sandels. She gets me to wait outside the dressing room, and tell her how they fit on her and such.
She was very polite and thankful the whole time, and it wasn't busy so I had time to kill, but the whole thing was odd.
a) I'm lucky I can dress myself. I have the fashion sense of a toddler.
b) I have no idea who you are or what you do. I can't even judge by what you are wearing what kinda clothes you are into.
She seemed happy enough with it all, so I must have done good. Luckily I have such a sweet demenor that I can tell you that that shirt making your arms look puffy and no one gets mad LOL.
I REALLY have no idea how to judge what looks good on people! I get it a lot with shoes ("How do these look?"). I usually base my answer off how they seem to be reacting to them and just validate what they already think.
Is this a skill I'll learn?
