Glossy Kiss And Make-Up
(It’s a slow day and most of our cleaning and stocking chores are done so we’re all talking while we have some down time. One of our coworkers pulls out a tube of lip gloss and begins applying it in the middle of the floor despite already wearing heavy makeup.)
Coworker #1: “What are you doing?”
Coworker #2: “I’m putting on lip gloss, duh.”
Coworker #1: “But why? We’re at work. Since when do we need to wear makeup?”
Coworker #2: “Well, I happen to work around people all day and I’m sure the customers feel better when I wear makeup.”
Me: “You know, our dress code actually states that heavy makeup is prohibited and that the most we should be wearing is a foundation with very small amounts of eyeliner or mascara.”
Coworker #2: “Well, I need to wear this makeup. I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments on it.” *flounces off*
Coworker #1: *to me* “A customer told me she looked like a gothic whore so I don’t think it’s working out for her.”
