Do you even work here?

I had finally decided to bite the bullet.  I was going to buy an expensive bra instead of the cheap Fruit of the Loom  I typically purchase.  So as I walked into Frederick’s of Hollywood, I was instantly greeted by an older lady who sounded like she smoked three packs a day.   She kindly pointed me in the direction of the bras, asked me my size.  Without regard to color I was handed two bras and ushered off to the dressing room.   Being a newbe and not wanting to look like an idiot, I went along quietly…too quietly.  After only a couple of minutes, she hollered in to see if I was getting along OK with the bra.  I replied I didn’t think the bra fit.   Before I knew what was happening, she was in the dressing room with me!  She told me I was putting the bra on all wrong.  Next thing I know, she had a hold of my breast and was “dropping” it into the bra.  Thank God she at least asked me if I could handle doing the other one!! 

I pulled myself together and headed up to the register to pay for the bra, wanting nothing more than to flee.  Thinking they worked on commission, I tell the girl that the older lady helped me.  This is where things get worse.  The girl proceeds to tell me that no one over twenty-five works there!!!  OH MY GOD!  I probably was helped by the older lady that likes to help helpless women like me… if you know what I mean!  Come to think of it… I didn’t see a name tag on that women with cold hands either!
