If The Shoe Fits…, Part 12
I work in a children’s shoe store. A male customer wearing a trench coat — not kidding — comes up to me.
Customer: “I’m looking for children’s rain boots.”
Me: “Sure. What size do you need?”
Customer: “Size?”
Me: “They come in different sizes, like adult shoes. How old is the child?”
Customer: “There is no child.”
Me: “…”
Customer: “It’s… for a prototype. I’m making… rain boots… for dogs.”
Me: “Okaaay. Big dogs? Small dogs?”
Customer: “Just bring me the smallest-sized child’s rain boot.”
I go in the back and bring out what he asks.
Me: “That’ll be $6.99.”
Customer: “I only need one.”
Me: “…”
There’s really no way to describe the creepy vibe this guy is giving off. The guy working with me is staring. He will later admit that the customer really creeped him out. The next day the customer returns with his single rainboot.
Customer: “I’d like to return this, please.”
Me: “NO WAY.”
