  • Adventures in lingerie

    I am tired of people ripping me off!!

    Customer comes in wanting to do a return. I scan the receipt to the computer and the item shows that it had already been returned. There is NO work around here. I call a manager and she tells me that I can do a return without a receipt and give her the 30 day low price.

    The customer then gets pissed off and starts yelling and screaming. We are ripping her off!! She should not have to donate money to XYZ store!!! She’s tired of people ripping her off!!

    I try to explain to her, again that the computer shows the item had been returned. I can’t do another one for full price. She then says that her sister returned the robe on the receipt earlier. I tell her, “Well, maybe she got a return for the PJs as well by some sort of accident. It would NOT show up as having been returned unless it HAD, in fact, been returned.”

    So, she calls her sister. Sister says that she did not get a return for the PJs just the robe……as if I am going to take someone’s word over the phone for that one!

    She then goes into the previous ‘you are ripping me off” fit snatched the PJs off the counter and storms off.

    Best part? The two customers in line behind her were standing there slack jawed in shock the whole time at her behavior. I swear I even heard one of them utter ‘bitch’ under her breath.


    TMI/ Flashing.

    This was not me, but a co-worker. Customer comes over looking at bras and such….says that her and hubby have not had sex in forever, along with other way TMI things. She then says “I think my bra is too small, what do you think” as she pulls her shirt up and oh yes. The bra was too small WAY too small.

    This chick had practically pulled her shirt off on the floor during a very busy time. Several customers and co-workers needed .

    I have been flashed before, but never that badly. You get used to it working in lingerie. I also volunteered helping new nursing mothers. Boobs do not really bother me. However, my co-worker did not work in the lingerie dept. Customer wondered over to another dept to find someone to help her.

    Just EWWWW


    You don’t know how often I have to bar men from entering the dressing room with their wives when they want to try on lingerie. Just no. There are other women back there who would not be too happy about a guy being back there. Not only that, but we aren’t into providing you a place to fufill some twisted sex in public fantasy. You wait by the counter….far away from the dressing room.

    One woman eventually came out, dumped the teddy thing on the counter and sighed “Oh well, we tried.”

    You'd think she'd at least buy the teddy, since they were apparently 'test-driving' it.
    I'm sorry, the person to whom you were speaking has been replaced by a recording. Please leave your message at the sound of the beep.

      Oh, they never intended on buying it in the first place. They wanted to 'test-drive' it (as you put it) and then leave it in a yucky heap on the floor for an employee (or the next customer to use the dressing room) later.

      I told my manager about the guys wanting to go back there and she just rolled her eyes and said it was common. "We catch people fornicating in the dressing room all the time." she says.

      Me? when she used the word 'fornicating."

            Okay, that's WAY TMI! Please don't post your picture in the gallery, as I do not need to know what your Oh Face might look like.

              It is too small, isn't it?

              DRAT!

              It says "my life broken down into segments.

              From smallest to largest sections:

              Eating
              Working
              Sleeping
              Looking for things I had just a minute ago

              It fits me very well. lol

              I guess I should find something else that people can actually read or something.
