So, ever been in a store and see a salesguy or salesgal totally screw up a potential sale to someone other than you? Listen to this one lol:
I am in a fairly upscale men's clothing store near Bloor/Yonge on Saturday. One salesguy (#1) is assisting me, and another (#2) is assisting a guy who has a woman with him. He (this other customer) is trying on a sportsjacket that is a bit too big for him. Enter salesguy number 3. He decides to assist salesguy #2 in closing the sale.
Salesguy #2 says it is a nice jacket. The customer replies it is too big.
Salesguy #3 (early 50's) says "Listen son, when you grow up and walk like a man instead of all stooped over, it will look and fit you just fine". He then goes on to say "You're lucky your mother here is buying you a nice jacket like this." The customer turns red and says in a low voice "That is my wife, not my mother." Salesguy #2 groans and salesguy #3 says "Really, oh, how old are you kid?" to which the customer replies "48". I'm trying to hold in the laughter...but salesguy #3 isn't done yet. He says "Oh, you look like a college kid" He then looks at the woman and says "Are you Russian?" The woman says "no, American". The salesguy then says, "Oh, it's just Russian women tend to be large, so I was thinking maybe that was why I thought he was a college kid standing next to you."
At this point the jacket got left, and the man and woman walked out of the store. I was thinking salesguy #3 was lucky he didn't get slugged by the guy, or by salesguy #2 whose sale he wrecked, or kicked in the macadamias by the woman lol.
