You’re Like Crazy Beautiful!
(I work in an adult-themed store and it is my very first day after training. I am doing some cleaning after opening the store and my very first customer of the day comes in.)
Customer: “Hey, I’m looking for something fun for my girlfriend.”
Me: “Okay, well, we have a huge selection.”
Customer: *as I’m explaining a toy to him, he interrupts me* “How can you work here and not want to f*** all the time? Oh, hey, do you, haha, test out all the stuff here during downtime?”
Me: “Um. No. No.”
(A while later, I’m ringing him up, thanking him, etc.)
Customer: “I wanna buy you a vibrator. Can I buy you a vibrator?”
Me: “No. I’m married.”
(He leaves without incident, but a few hours later, he comes back, hands me a note, and leaves in a hurry. It said “My name’s [Name] and I think you’re really pretty. You should call or text me.”)
Me: *to myself* “Gee, I thought this guy had a GIRLFRIEND!”
(Over two months later during the Valentine’s Day rush, he comes back. He bought some stuff and left, but then came back a few hours later with his girlfriend!)
Customer: “See, I told you she was pretty!”
Me: “Um, thank you?”
Girlfriend: “Oh, my god, yes; are you married?”
Me: “Yes, I am. I’ve been married for a few years.”
(The girlfriend picks out a wig, which disturbingly is the only one in the store that’s the same color as my hair…)
Girlfriend: *turning to the woman behind her in the checkout line* “OMG, you’re gorgeous! Honey, just look at how beautiful this woman is!”
(At this point, she starts telling everyone else in the store to look at how beautiful this woman is, so I ring her up as quickly as possible and say goodbye. The woman behind them steps up.)
Woman: “The h*** was that?!”
Me: “I don’t even know. They’re crazy; I’m so sorry about that!”
Woman: “No, it’s okay, I just… I’m so confused! At least it was something nice she pointed out.”
(The insane couple insisted they were there all the time… I haven’t seen them since.)
