Underwear For The Over-Aged
(A very old man is wandering around the section of the store where we display the ‘sexy’ lingerie pieces.)
Me: “Hello, sir. Can I help you find something?”
Old Man: “Yes. I’m looking for something that will lift her up and push her together up there. And I don’t want her to be covered up either. I want to be able to see everything. Do you have anything like that?”
(I try to block out the image he’s creating for me.)
Me: “Sure… let’s see what we can find.”
(I show him a few different bras, and we finally find one that he seems satisfied with, and a matching panty. His lady-friend—who is nearly as old as he is—joins us. The old man hands her the bra he picked out.)
Old Man: “Here, go try this on. I want to see if I like it or not.”
(I walk them back to the fitting room, and go to help a few other customers. The man comes back toward me.)
Me: “So, how did you like it?”
Customer: “It was great. You did a lovely job, you sweet little thing. Now I need to find her a shirt that’s nice and open so you can see everything. I’m old, you know. I just want to have fun.”
Me: “That’s… excellent, sir. Let me show you what we have.”
(After I show him a few shirts, his lady-friend emerges from the fitting room.)
Lady Friend: “Are we ready to go?”
Customer: “I think this is good. You don’t have anything like this at home.”
Lady Friend: “But all my bras are from this store! See?”
(She lifts up her shirt to show everyone in the store the bra she is wearing. I am smiling to hold back the tears.)
Me: “Ah yes, that is one of our bras. Is there anything else I can help you with today?”
Customer: “Do you give a discount for perverts?”
Me: “No, sir, sorry about that. Have a great day though!”
