The crimes come in thick and fast. Stupid customers, stupid colleagues and photo documentation of some down right awful things.

It never stops for the Bra Police...

One after one after one...

(while in a fitting)
JT: ok, well the one you have on is a bit small so I'm going to get a bra to try so I can find your size and then get the others
Cust: I only want this style
JT: yep, I need to get a bra first to be able to find your size...
Cust: and I just want black and white...
JT: yep, as I said, I need to get one first to find out what size you need... Ok...

Cust: (at the desk, looking at the magazine she's flicking through and not looking at EM at all) I need help
EM: ok... (pauses for cust to 1- stop reading and look up and 2 - to elaborate a bit more)
Cust: (still reading and says nothing)
EM: what kind of help were you looking for?
Cust: (folds up magazine) bra help? (put her index finger up to the corner of her mouth) am I in the right shop?
EM: were you looking for a fitting?
Cust: yes


(cust comes down for a fitting)
JT: hi there, can I have your first name?
Cust: eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Why? (pause)
JT: so I know who I'm fitting...
(cust gives her name in a really pissy way)
JT: ok, so my name is JT so if you want to follow me through
(later)
JT: so what are you looking for?
Cust: anything
JT: ok, did you want lacy or just something really plain?
Cust: I don't care, I might not even be buying anything from you
JT: ok, what about moulded?
Cust: no, I cant fit moulded
JT: ok, well if I just have a look at the bra your wearing...
Cust: what? what do you want me to do? Take my top of?
JT: yes, so I can check the one your wearing...
(cust takes off top)
JT: ok, now if you just turn round so I can check the back
(cust does a John Travolta spin and then glares at JT, as though she just caught JT trying to rape her)
JT: I need to see the back of your bra so I need you to turn around
(later)
JT: so how does that feel?
Cust: it hurts
JT: right, where does it hurt?
Cust: (points to the wires under her arms) don't you want me to tell you what size I am?
JT: no you don't have to, we just try them on to find sizes...
(cust makes a sarcastic thumbs up at JT)
JT: right, I'll get a different style and go down in the back as you had this done up on the tightest hook
(JT brings a smaller back in a different size which the cust does up on the tightest hook)
JT: how does that feel?
Cust: I can't breathe
JT: if you put it on the loosest hook rather than the tightest. That way your able to tighten it up as it stretches
Cust: iv never done that before...
JT: well, it's what you should do if a bras fitting...
Cust: so what size have you put me in?
JT: this is a 28ff
Cust: (aggressively) your fucking joking
JT: ....what?
Cust: you've put me in a size I can't buy anywhere but here...
JT: you were in a 30f but it was big in the back, but you don't have to take it you can just leave if you want or look at other styles upstairs...
Cust: I'll just leave...
JT: ok...
