This Fitting Room Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us
Australia, Department Store, Ignoring & Inattentive, Jerk, Melbourne, Victoria | Right | November 27, 2020
I am shopping at a large discount department store and I decide to try on a few items of clothing.
Me: “Hello. May I try on these clothes?”
Employee: “Certainly. I see you have five items. Here is the tag—”
A random shopper pushes in between myself and the employee.
Random Shopper: “Can I try these on?”
Employee: “Excuse me, I was helping this lady first.”
Random Shopper: “Oh, okay.” *Doesn’t move*
Employee: “So… could you please move so this lady can get into the fitting rooms?”
Random Shopper: “Oh.” *Moves slightly to the side*
Me: “Excuse me, can I please get into the fitting room?”
Random Shopper: “Oh, okay, can I try these on, too?”
The employee just handed me the tag and gestured me through while rolling her eyes at the random woman.
