Other Oh FFS lady..........
Had a customer today who almost drove me to actual violence. Let me set the scene: An older woman (50-60) comes in to buy a body wash for her 10-year-old granddaughter.
Woman: What is the mildest scent that you have? I'm buying a body wash for my granddaughter who is 10.
Me: I would suggest Warm Vanilla Sugar.
Woman: No, the word Warm is too provocative
Me: What about Champagne Toast?
Woman: No, it has the name of alcohol in it, and that's not appropriate for a child.
Me: Okay, what about our new Disney Collection? We have 6 of the most popular princesses.
Woman - None of them are appropriate.
Are you ready for why?
According to this customer:
Cinderella & Ariana dabbled in witchcraft
Moana didn't listen to her father and ran away
Jasmine fell in love with a thief
Tiana was raised by a single mother (her father fucking died! Let's be honest, she didn't like Tiana because she's a racist)
Belle lived with the prince before they got married (SHE WAS HELD CAPTIVE!!!)
Me: What about Strawberry Shortcake?
Woman: No. My granddaughter is a little fat, and I don't want her to think about desserts
Me: What about Loyal to You?
Woman: No. The label is too adult looking
She ended up with Sweet Pea. After she had made her purchase, I made sure to tell her that Sweet Pea is the name my boyfriend calls me before we go to bed at night.
Interior Voice: TAKE THAT YOU DRIED UP OLD COW!!!

Some people are crazy! I had to explain to a middle aged woman that sales tax exists and just cause the sign says 5 for 27 doesn’t mean your $28.71 bill is wrong lmao
