As someone who toils in a boutique as a living ( I mean, if you could call this living...waaahh) I have observed bizarre behavioral patterns of the average customer.
There is the beastly shopper, the woman who tears through the store with hunger, not examining any garment for more than 4 seconds before making her way to the next rack. Another telltale sign of this type of customer is the sound of hangers screeching as they are dragged from one side of the rack to the other. Basically she is a fucking bitch with no regard to the fact that I just spent 15 minutes spacing each hanger 2 inches apart.
There is the idiot-who- likes- to- waste- time shopper, who tries on everything in the entire store and then after 3 hours of me assuring her that she looks "amazing" and "gorgeous" decides that she doesn't want to buy anything. Really?
Name Dropper shoppers like to brag about purchases from other stores that are waaaay more fabulous than anything in my store. Ex: "Well I would get this but I just bought a shirt from Gucci yesterday that is too similar...".
My response: "Wonderful".
Miserable-anti life shoppers are always a treat. These are the people who consider shopping to be as fun as a jaunt through Auschwitz. Like, why are they even shopping? Just go home and do something that you would consider more enjoyable ( pulling out your own teeth is just one suggestion). These are also closely related to the afformentioned beastly shopper.
Ok, one more thing I have observed. Whenever a customer comes in with a beverage and asks if they can leave the drink on the cashwrap while they look around, they NEVER buy anything. What is up? Anyone have any clue? It must be some deep, psychological insecurity they have. Like, maybe they know they have no intention of buying anything and to absolve themselves of guilt they are extra cautious and respectful to the boutique by not giving themselves the chance to spill...
