I LOVE FOREIGN CUSTOMERS

Working in retail has it's ups and downs, but I must say that I live for days like these. When foreign customers, mostly Italian and French, walk into the store and see one thing they like then proceed to buy the whole stock. It makes me gush :-D

Today was a great example. A customer, who comes into the store about once every season and she recognizes me right on sight. "Do you have anything new?", she says. Automatically, I start my sales pitch. Showing her wigs and hair pieces, make-up, nail polishes and costumes, hair products, sunglasses etc. The wigs don't appeal to her style but the hair pieces catch her eye and she tells me to give her every style in every color....OH JOY! She continued shopping around the store for about 2 hours, pulling items off the shelves in bulk and tells me to pick something up for myself. I must say that she is my favorite customer and I don't even know her name!

These are the days that bring a smile across my face...and then I come home to my little brother using my toothbrush to clean his sneakers.
