Why I Love my Part-Time Job!!

Although I do not currently have a full time job, I have had my part-time job since March.  I work at Victoria's Secret and I love it!  It's nice to have a place to go to everyday.  It makes me feel like I am still connected to the work force and it helps to pay the bills.  And believe it or not, it is a rewarding job.

My typical shift usually involves working the fitting room.  My primary focus is to work with the customers to ensure they are wearing the correct bra size and the best fitting style for their needs.  On average I measure 10 busts per day and I see many more ta ta's over the course of my shift. My personal goal is to make sure that every single lady walks out of the store with their best fitting bra.  Again, it is very rewarding.

However some days I get pretty tata'd out! We have the customer that thinks they need to wear a smaller size in order to push the tata's together and create more cleavage. If you look at their shoulders, the strap marks are so imbedded that I wonder how they are not howling in pain.

Next we have the customer that only buys $9.99 discount store bras.  They come into the store to be measured.  I give them some bras to try in their size.  They LOVE them, but cringe at the price tag.  I try to explain that these bras last forever-  unlike the 6 washing that you will get out of that discount brand bra.

Finally we have the customer that complains about their fit BUT when I tell them what size they SHOULD be wearing, they yell at me and tell me that I am nuts.  There is no way in hell that they are a 38 or a D cup.  They insist they are a 34B and have been that size since college (17 years ago!!).  My reply to them is, you have to wear it not me.  I also remind them that nobody knows what size you wear.  They only know how it looks on you.  And nobody wants to see back boob!

I do love my job and I love my customers. And although some days are more trying than others, I can honestly say that I never leave without some crazy story to share.
