Yesterday after work, I had one mission in mind: jeans shopping. I left work at about 4:30 and headed to my favorite place to shop for jeans, The Buckle. Please remind me next time I go there that the sales associates are nice not because God gave them the genetic blessing of compassion...no, they are nice because if they sell you pricey jeans, they get a sweet little commission. Jerks. Here's what happened.
Katy enters The Buckle and is greeted by an associate. Katy wanders to the sale rack and hears a soothing, low voice at the back of the store.
George: Is there something I can help you find?
Katy: No thanks, I'm just (katy turns and sees the handsome man attached to the voice)...actually, maybe you can help me with some jeans.
George: I'd be happy to. Do you know what kind you want?
Katy: Well, I have a card from the last time I was in here. It has the type of jeans I buy on it.
George: Look at you. I'm so impressed!
(Katy giggles)
George: Okay, I'll grab a few for you and put them in a dressing room while you look around.
Katy: Sounds awesome. Thanks.
(A few minutes later...)
George: So, you're havin a good day aren't you?
Katy: Why, do I look like I'm having a good day?
George: I can tell these things.
(Katy Giggles)
Katy: Yeah, it's a good day.
George: So, what do you do?
Katy: Work and go to school.
George: Awesome. Hey, I love your bag.
Katy: Thanks! I got it at Old Navy about 2 years ago. My sister is always trying to get me to carry expensive bags, but I always go back to what's comfortable.
George: I hear ya. Me too.
(The conversation continues light heartedly until Katy informs George that she is ready to try on her clothes. George escorts her to the dressing room.)
George: I'm looking forward to seeing those jeans on you.
(Katy giggles)
George (while Katy is trying on clothes): So...uh, you got any plans for Valentine's Day?
Katy's inner monologue: omigosh! He's totally gonna ask for my number. He thinks I'm cute. omigosh! What is it with me lately? Guys are all over me! I'm awesome!
Katy: nah, not this year.
George: Hmmmm....well that's no good. We'll have to do something about that.
(Katy giggles)
Katy: Will we?
After trying on three pairs of jeans and three shirts, Katy makes her selections and hands them to George.
George: I'll see you at the register.
Katy: Okay
(At the register)
George: I went ahead and punched a few extra amounts on your card, so you can get the discount.
Katy: Wow! Thanks.
George: I'll just need your address.
Katy tells him her address.
George: Are those the apartments by Target?
Katy: Yeah.
George: With the big bathtubs?
Katy: Oh yeah.
George: I live in one of the sister complexes. That's so crazy!
Katy starts imagining their wedding.
George: I just need your driver's license
Katy hands George her driver's license
George: NO WAY!!!! We have the exact same birthday! Same month! Same year! Same day!
Katy starts naming their future children in her mind.
George: Now I have such an awesome story to tell my wife tonight!!!
Aaaaaaaand scene....

Did that REALLY happen? No way!
Return every pair of jeans you bought. Actually, pee on them, let them dry, and return them complaining of a "funky smell".
I hate salesmen.
Thanks for the great story! Very entertaining. Probably not so much for you though. Oh well...at least you got a discount.
Great story Katy. Doesn't matter if it was real or not. It SEEMS real.
Ah. What is sincerity anyway? If it manufactured up a discount for you, why complain?
I'm your not offended but that story really made my day. After dealing with a coworker who was a few fries short of a Happy Meal today that was just what I needed.
Sorry it didn't turn out so well for you.
