Needs To Give Her A Dressing Down

(I work in a clothing store aimed predominantly at teenage girls. On this particular day a mother comes in with her daughter. I am wearing a knee-length bandage skirt, a tank top, and an unbuttoned denim shirt.)

Me: “Hi, ladies! Is there anything I can help you with today?”

Mother: “Yes! I’m trying to find an outfit for my daughter to wear to a party this weekend.”

Me: *addressing the daughter* Not a problem! Did you have anything in particular in mind? A dress, maybe?”

(The daughter starts to speak, but her mother interrupts her.)

Mother: “I want her to look classy, but also a little bit slutty. Not really slutty, just a little bit, like you!”

(The daughter looked mortified, and I tried to hide the shock on my face. Needless to say, I was hesitant to help them after that, but they did end up spending over $200.)
