Don’t Be Forward, Just Lean Forward
(A customer with rather large breasts approaches me.)
Customer: “Excuse me; can you help me please?”
Me: “Of course, ma’am. What can I help you find today?”
Customer: “I’m looking for books about plastic surgery.”
Me: “Ah, I see. Well, let’s just look on the computer and see what we can come up with. Do you have a particular area you’re interested in reading about?”
Customer: “I bet you can’t guess!”
Me: “I wouldn’t want to be forward!”
Customer: “Well, breast reduction surgery, then. Shy, aren’t you?”
Me: “Just a little, yes. Let’s see what I can find.”
Customer: “I’m always having back problems! These are just too big; I want to see if I can get them smaller.”
Me: “It’s probably best to check with a doctor first, but maybe we can find something that will help you know what questions to ask.”
Customer: “Well, don’t you agree they’re too big?”
Me: “Er, again, I wouldn’t like to be forward.”
Customer: “Oh, come on. You can touch them and see how big they are for yourself!”
Me: “WHAT!”
Customer: “C’mon, touch ’em!”
(The customer reaches for my wrist.)
Me: “No, that’s okay!”
Customer: “TOUCH MY PUPPIES!”
Me: “Let me see if I can find someone more experienced with this.”
Customer: “Why won’t shy guys touch my breasts!?”
