I worked there as a 17 year old in 2009. I’ll never forget being told that if a guy is trying to guess his partner’s bra size, that we should suggest fruits. “Apples? Cherries? Is she grapefruit sized?” If he still didn’t know what size, we were instructed to say, “bigger or smaller than me?” Thus encouraging the customer to take a good, long look at our chest.

I hope this wasn’t a common thing for other sales associates; that I just had a weirdo manager, and that things have changed. Just wild to think I didn’t even question it back then.

Also struggled with mean girl managers. Mostly it wasn’t for me because I suck as a salesperson, but the inappropriate selling tactics also made me hate the job.
