Moments from Saturday

Cust: can I have a fitting?
EM: sure, I have a fitter free now. What are you looking for?
Cust: I need a bra for a dress which I have with me and I need to check to see if my bras are salvageable...
EM: ok... Let me get your fitter
(in stockroom)
EM: ok, I have a lady with a dress who needs a bra for it and she also wants all her old bras checked to see if she can still wear them. Who wants to do it?
EA: SHOTGUN NOT ME!
JT: awww...I'll do it... If EA did anything!
(JT takes her through and EM listens to the start of the fitting)
Cust: I've got some bras which I'm hoping are salvageable as I've lost some weight, so maybe if you tighten the straps they might fit...
(later, in stockroom)
EM: so how many bras does she want you to tighten the straps of?
JT: twelve! And she has two dresses!
(after the fitting and on the shop floor)
HP: do you want the matching bottoms?
Cust: oh! They come with them?
HP: yep, there over here...
(leads cust over. Cust drops the bag she was carrying and then drops her water bottle as she tries to pick up her bag)


Cust: I'm looking for a tankini and I don't know what sizes you have in your store room...
EM: ok
Cust: I'm hoping to try something in my size?
EM: ok, what size are you looking for?
Cust: 30ff, I'm looking for something dark (she has two Anna tankinis in her hand and two pairs of bottoms)
EM: ok, 30ff, are either of those near that size?
Cust: I've got a 32gg and a...32h
EM: ok, and the bottoms?
Cust: there both an 8
EM: what size did you want in them?
Cust: I don't know what size I need... 10... 12...
EM: what size jeans do you take?
Cust: 10... In either shorts or big briefs...
EM: right, let me go and have a look for you...


Cust: I want to try this bikini in a 34e... I've got these to try if you don't have it...
EM: right... (she has four electric zebra bikinis) let me check for you...
(later)
EM: we do have the 34e
Cust: ok, you can have these back then... (hands over the bikinis)
EM: lovely, I will take those back upstairs
(had a look through them and the sizes she had picked were: 32f, 32ff, 36g and 38e)

EM: (buzzes HP back to get some more info about Bridget, the next fitting) has Bridget been fitted by us before and do you know what she's after?
HP: I don't know about fitting but she needs a bra checking and she's just on her way down the stairs...
(cust appears just as HP finishes talking)
Cust: (gets hubby a drink of water in one of our cups and then comes over to the desk) hi I'm Bridget, I'm here for a fitting...
EM: lovely, do you...
Cust: (interrupting) shall I take a seat?
EM: Yes, that's fine. I'll just let...
(cust wanders off while EM is talking to her. EM goes upstairs to see HP)
EM: did you give them a cup?
HP: yeah! He said he wasn't feeling well and I tried to buzz but then I just got some water for him. I did say sorry it's a but warm. He's just come out of hospital and he's not got enough oxygen in his heart!
EM: right...
HP: so your husbands not well and you drag him in here bra shopping...
EM: and in this heat... In a coat...
