This Issue Is Sizing Up

I used to work in the call center of a very large department store. A woman called in wanting a high-end top.

Caller: “I’ve been waiting for it to go on deeper clearance, but now that it is, my size is sold out. Do you have any in the warehouse? I need a 3x.”

Me: “Let me check the system, but the inventory on the website is updated very regularly.”

I check and no shirt. It was 75% off.

Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but they’re sold out in that size.”

Caller: “You’re just some skinny little b**** who thinks I don’t deserve nice clothes! Well, I deserve it! You better find me that d*** shirt or let me talk to your manager!”

Me: “I also wear 3x.”

There’s a pause, but then she picks up steam again.

Caller: “Then you kept them all for yourself, you fat b****!” *Click.*
