Anyone Want Seconds on that Polyester?

Today at work. . .

I was minding my own business and board-folding a pile of shirts. My attention was torn from the pile, as someone asked me to go grab something from the back room.

Upon returning to the salesfloor, I walked past a (35 + year old) gentleman (with dreadlocks) on the men's side of the store.

He looked over at me strutting/traipsing/etc to my predetermined destination, and said,
"wow, you just look delicious in that skirt."

"excuse me?" i reply (half not having heard him, half hoping that i've heard him wrong).

"i said, 'you look delicious in that skirt'"

"thanks. . . ?" (thinking: WHAT?! can I ask him to leave?)

beautiful, hot, sexy. sure. these are all acceptable adjectives. but delicious? come on! I wonder if "no means no" applies to our customers as well. . .

of course, i told my manager about this indiscretion as i was about to leave for a fifteen minute break (whereupon i sashayed across the mall to the pretzel stand). . .

to add insult to injury, when i returned, he (almost unable to hold back the laughter), said "wow, kel, that pretzel looks delicious."

bright red, i faux-sulked my way to the back room to enjoy my "delicious" pretzel.

*sigh* i'm wearing pants tomorrow.
