I guess that I have a story or two: 1.) I was working a regular day at Charlotte Russe and a nice sized woman (about an eight) came into the fitting room entrance to try on clothes. I was nice and even carried a little conversation with her (makin that commission), but then after I helped her into a private fitting room another girl who was a bit heavy set came into the fitting room entrance. I automatically wondered why she was even in the store since we only sell junior sized clothes (no plus-sizes). I gave her a number and put her in a fitting room without even caring about being nice...since she wasn't gonna buy the clothes any way. She came in the fitting room with like a size 8 pants knowing damn well she is like a 16. I have nothing against plus sized women, but I hate to see them buying or wearing clothes that don't even fit their bodies. ( I know that they be uncomfortable, but some people be in denial about their size. 2.) It was a normal day at work again, but today somethin was in the air cause guys kept trying to talk to me while I was in my store. ( In the front display area) One guy who was **** **** ( I'm sorry for that, but dammit he was) came in thinking that he was the sh!t or something tryin to mack me. We have headsets on and so on the low I called one of my co-workers to come tell me that I needed to do somethin so that I could get away from the guy cause his a** was persistent. The very same day a nice lookin guy came into the store tryin to mack me, but I blushed and nicely declined his date offer. I know that I was wrong for some of the things I've done with pre-judging people, but I learned from it and it's over and done with now.

Chivalry is not ****. You should have treated the tall lady just as well as you treated the short lady. That would have been the GENTLEMAN thing to do. I dont know about anyone else, but my brother was taught to open doors and pull out chairs for any lady no matter her color, height, or etc....

That didnt seem very relevant. Yea Im guilty. When I worked in retail, I helped those who LOOKED like they had money, and were actually going to buy something a lot more. If someone looked easy to persuade, I would help them more also. Not to be stereotypical, BUT White people almost always would spend money, Mexicans rarely would (and if they did, it would be on clearance items), and Black people either steal or buy (but 70% of those who buy, end up bringin Sh*t back for a refund or credit)...And thats just being REAL...
