Sigh.. Iv'e worked in retail off and on quite a bit. Unfortunately there are always the people who are going to be the most arrogant people you can come across.. It's awful.
Today, I had one of those situations that just made me so angry!
I had 2 girls and a guy come in. One of the ladies was pregnant, and was shopping to "get things going" as she was almost ready for labour. That alone, baffled me.. The other two were in a relationship.
The two in the relationship were in a corner of the store, and she was looking at many things. Her bf straight looked at her and said "Babe, not to be rude.. but nothing in this store is going to fit you." I gasped.
She was obviously very offended. His response? "Sorry, but it's not". Then prego pipes up and says "Well, maybe like a corset that she can tie?"
Needless to say, the girl ran out crying. Her bf and prego follwed her to the car. There she sat, crying, as he was trying to hug her. They got in the car and left.
What a fucking prick! Are you kidding me? First and foremost, this girl was maybe an XL, maybe a little bigger in some of the items we carry, as they do run small. Second of all, I work in a lingerie store.. the things she was looking at, were garments basically for him, and he says that!? Good grief! If Chris ever said anything like that to me, running away crying would be the last thing I would do.. He would first get a good, swift kick in the junk! Not to mention my ginger rage.. I would be furious to say the least! However, I know he would NEVER say anything like that, not for fear from what I just said, but because he is respectful, cares about me and loves me. That thought would never enter his head!
That being said, why do women put up with that shit?! She deserves much better than that, any woman does.
Not just did she put up with it from her man, but from her friend too?? Fuck off! Never in my life would I say shit like that to my friends, nor would they say that to me. Respect. And really, who was prego to say anything? (here is where my inner bitch comes out..) You are pregnant, about to go into labour, and with your friends.. not a bf/husband.. shopping for lingerie while being 9 months along.. hmm.. wonder how that baby got there?
That poor girl. I hope one day she can find herself a decent guy, who treats her right, and some decent friends, who respect her for who she is, rather than judges her and makes her feel like shit about herself.
