This is probably silly, but I went to Victoria Secret to do my three month buy up of the usual female undergarments and it reminded me so much of the fake conventions and greetings.
HI! Can I help you today? (as you first step in) .
"No, thanks, just browing..."
Then two steps later - no more than three sales people directly in front of you, "HI, have you been helped today? Hope you are having a great day!"
"Thank you, but NO, thanks, just browing..."
So then I get to the thongs/panties/nighties/bras that I already know what I am getting
and I swear two more people come out of nowhere on either side -
"Do you need any help..."
"NO THANKS, I know what I want..."
Meanwhile two women that actually need help are patiently looking aimlessly around trying to get help finding something in their size...
It just brought back flashbacks of getting innundated with the fake greetings at the kingdom halls and conventions and being hounded.
