Hey everyone,
I had an interesting encounter with a sales assistant yesterday. This was my second ever time buying female items in a shop (or ever for that matter), the first one was a nerving experience (buying bra's and knickers) but when I went to pay nothing was said about who they were for.
However, yesterday I decided it was time to buy some nail varnish so I went into the Boots chemist to buy some and some nail varnish remover so I can remove the nail varnish. Having gone in intending to only buy the remover and one or two bottles, I ended up buying the remover and 6 bottles. But the interesting encounter came when I got to the checkout, the first thing the sales assistant asked me was if it was for me. Being nervous about it (and her being similar to my age and very attractive), I quickly invented a story about it being for my sister's birthday (she probably saw through that immediately!).
This was my first experience of this; in retrospect I'm kind of wishing I had just been honest and said it was for me (partly to see the reaction).
I have a few of questions for others though:
1) How would you have responded in the situation?
2) How long did it take before you were comfortable enough to be honest and say they were for you?
3) How often do sales assistants ask you if it is for you?
Hugs,
