My mother was a very fashionable woman. She taught me how to combine and coordinate clothing and how to determine quality of garments. She instilled in me that first impressions were crucial and that I should dress well when I leave the house. My mom used to say it wasn’t important to have a large … More Accessorizing
Being a proud gay man, I made sure all my work associates were aware that I was NOT straight. The Men’s Shoe Department, which was one of the ugly step-children departments in the store, was in desperate need of at least one additional cash register. We have one cash register for up to five or … More Wrong Parts
A buddy of mine at my retail gig was promoted to manage Ladies Departments on the first floor of the building as opposed to the second floor where all of the men’s departments are located. Although I miss this young man because he was one of my favorite sparring partners, I’m also happy for him … More Gay Giant
Near closing time at the store one night, a young man came into the shoe department. We developed a rapport pretty quickly as he was shopping. He told me he was celebrating his 35th birthday with his sister. He sat down after a few minutes of shopping telling me he was waiting for his sister … More Temporary True Love

I had a customer one day who entered the department looking like a shiny red apple. He was a middle aged man who came in with his wife wearing red basketball shorts and a matching red tee shirt. I complimented the guy on his look and he thanked me telling me his wife didn’t like … More Red Basketball Shorts
One thing that is almost always true is that men and women with multiple tattoos are exhibitionists. Combine that with men who spend most of their free time in a gym making their bodies as perfect as possible, you can be guaranteed they are exhibitionists. I have tested this theory several times and have never … More Show Me Tattoos
When I first started in retail, I felt like an elder statesman. As you might guess, I was one of the older employees in the store. I felt like a dispenser of wisdom because younger employees were always coming over to talk to me. I thought they were seeking my sage advice based on years … More Statesman
One day at my retail gig there was a man looking at shoes. I noticed his fly was wide open and silky leopard print fabric was sticking out of the opening. I very discretely told the gentleman about his fly and walked away while he took care of his trousers. After he finished his shopping … More Big Cats
