Christmas Customer Nightmares

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

Last month I talked about crazy in-laws at Thanksgiving. Now lemme tell you about unappealing customers at Christmas.  I worked in the lingerie section of a major department store on Christmas Eve. We had the standard bras, underwear, nightgowns and robes, but in the back was a tacky little rack filled with icky scratchy underthings that just looked so uncomfortable that OF COURSE you would immediately want them off your body to save you from the chafing. They were in the colors of "I will rub off on your skin red," "I will dye all your laundry black," and "I will yellow by next week white."

This rather rough, unsavory looking character comes up to the register with one of these items in his hand. You know the type, the guy who thinks yelling out his rusty truck window, "Hey hos" is a great pick up line.

I start ringing it up, one eye on the clock that was counting down the last 15 minutes of the shift when his words broke through:

"Ah though' 'bout buyin' two o' these."

I really didn't have any reply.

"This'n mahght git all tore up."

And I REALLY didn't have any reply!

What would YOU do if someone gave you lingerie like this for a present?

Don't think that I'd like to know exactly how it'd get "all tore up" either. In that case, maybe he could use it as "tinsel" for the tree.
