♀, Christina & I were out shopping a couple of months ago and one of our stops was La Vie en Rose. If you’re unfamiliar with the name, it’s a chain of lingerie stores. They definitely cater to skinnier women, but we’ve found a few things there before and Christina had never been and they were having a panty sale so we went in.  I guess we were in the store for close to an hour. ♀ tried on a few different bras. I’m good at going back to get a different size when she’s in the change room and she trusts my opinion on what looks good on her. Eventually we  found two bras she liked. We picked out matching panties for her and a few pairs for me. We took our time going through the store…found some ‘maybe next times’ and lots of  ‘oh that’s pretty, but it would never fit either of us’.  I don’t think we were being really obvious that we were shopping for both of us…not that that should have mattered to anyone.

 

♀ was still browsing around while I went to pay for our stuff. There were two cash registers on opposite sides of a little island in the middle of the store. There were two or three women in line on one side and Christina was paying for her stuff on the other side so I stepped in behind her. The cashier finished with Christina then told me her till was closed and I would need to get in line on the other side. I was a little put off, but maybe she was leaving for her break and besides we weren’t in a big hurry.  So I got in line and a couple of minutes later another woman got in line behind me and the cashier with the closed till said to her, “I can take you over here.”  I was next in line so didn’t make a fuss, but I was sure thinking ‘what a bitch.’

 

When we got in the car I asked Christina if I could see what she bought. She handed me the bag and her purchases were neatly folded and wrapped in tissue paper. My purchases…just tossed in the bag. I really felt like these two cashiers treated me badly because I’m a guy. It’s not like I was just hanging out there by myself  leering at women and making them feel uncomfortable. I’ve seen men being asked to leave the lingerie section of department stores for doing that. I know that some women don’t like men to be there so I try extra hard not to be ‘creepy’, but there was no reason for these two employees to treat me like that. 

 

Speaking of pretty lingerie…

 

 

Cheers,

♀ & sss

   Sometimes the men are drooling without realizing it,and that may be slightly disconcerting to the salesgirls.But in any case-the customer is always right!
