The Lingerie Salesman S Worst Nightmare New

"It’s structurally sound for a glass of champagne," Arthur whispered.

She stands six feet away. She holds the bra up to her own chest like a shield. She asks, "Does this look like it fits?" The salesman, squinting from behind a mannequin, must diagnose the fit of a garment he cannot see, on a body he cannot approach, while the customer rotates slowly like a weather vane. When he suggests, "Perhaps try the next band size down," she snaps: "You haven’t even looked at my back." Exactly. Because you asked me not to. the lingerie salesman s worst nightmare new
