Today I had some free time so I decided to dress up some and go run my errands. I was dressed somewhat androgynous, light foundation, a little bit of eye color and a very light pink lip gloss, and of course my fave girl jeans, and a white blouse. I went to several stores interacting with the staff and other customers with no problems and friendly attitudes. I picked up a new bra at Fred Meyers, new 3in heeled boots, of couse a stop at Starbucks. I was enjoying myself and haveing a relaxing day. As I was about to drive home I saw Meier and Frank and decided to just make a pass through the sales racks. The staff was great as always. I was looking at the bras when a female employee came up to me and asked it I needed any help. She was super friendly, maybe 23 or 24 years old and very beautiful. She did not seem to care about anything but helping me. After she showed me a few things that she recommends (and are way out of my price range....) she askes me if I have been measured recently. I told her it had been a few years, and she immediatally offered to do it for me. We went back to the fitting rooms and as we were walking in, another woman walks out, sizes me up and very loudly says Why is a guy in the ladies room with attitude. Stacy the employee loudly replies, I don't care how Barbara is dressed, she is a customer and I need to measure her. I was not sure what to think. Least to say I was very embaressed. Stacy and the other woman stared at each other for a few seconds, and the woman storms out saying she will never again shop here if Meirer and Frank will allow guys like me in the store. At this point I just wanted to crawl into a room and die of embaresment. Stacy again loud enough so others can hear, Well that's your loss mam, thank you and have a great day. She then escorts me to a large changing room and measures me, very professionally. She asks how big of forms I am wanting to wear in my new bra and then disappeared out to the floor. After a few minutes she comes back with an armload of bras of all styles and colors. We spend the next 45 to min tring them on, she steps out as I change into each one and then comes back in to inspect and adjust. I was on cloud nine, and wishing I had a couple hundred dollars to drop, but alas I decided on 2 that cost me $50 total. We go to the register and she rings me out. She also puts a card in the bag with her name and the direct number to the intimates dept. She asked me the next time I needed anything to call ahead and make sure she was there. I was totally blown away by her help and how she handled the other customer. I did go look up her manager and explained how helpful Stacy was and that I definatally would be back again. The manager called hher over to where we were and infront of me complamented her on a job well done. Hugs were exchanged and I walked out.
A I sit here writting this in starbucks, I am thinking it is going to be very difficult to top todays experiace any time soon.
Thanks for reading my ramblings girls
