It’s time for another episode of “Tales from the Bra Shop.” We sure do love you!
Hardware: A woman stacks three bras on the counter and tells us her husband asks her all the time why she needs so many bras. She responds by asking him why he needs so many tools. He moves on.
Internationally Known: I don’t know how many bra shops in the USA can say they’ve sold to a woman from Japan, but now we can. It’s so amazing to me to think of our bras around the world: Canada, England, Italy, New Zealand, and now Japan! Did you know that bra is pronounced “baraja” in Japanese?
We’re Right Here: A woman came in one day who kept repeating that she didn’t know we were here: “I didn’t know you were here.” …. “How did I not know you were here?”…. “I can’t believe I didn’t know you were here!” After she realized that we were indeed right here, she proceeded to buy some Spanx and a new bra. She now knows we’re here – right on!
YOLO: A stylish woman bought a cashmere robe for herself a few days before Christmas. “Should I be feeling guilty for buying this for myself?” she asked. I pointed outside to the new-to-me car in the parking lot. “No,” I replied. “I just bought myself a Cadillac.” You only live once, right? (For the record…it’s used, it’s the base model, and my last car was 15 years old. The robe was new and I’m quite sure she needed it as much as I needed the car!)
Cruising: One day in December a woman was waiting for us to open in her car. She needed sticky boobs and wasn’t leaving town without them. We were her last stop before the airport and the cruise ship. Have we mentioned how much we love getting you all set for your vacation?
Semester Break: OK, don’t take this the wrong way, but college diets and college washing machines sure do help us sell some bras… Always nice to see mothers and daughters shopping together. Gotta love Mom’s checkbook when you are home from school!
‘Til next time. Thanks for coming in to find some JOY. You rock.
Joy
