In the store

John and his newest acquisition walk into the upscale store as the young sales associate is dragging the newest mannequin into the store.

The willowy blonde woman looks at him then the two women. Without a second thought she turned to the sales girl.

“What the fuck did you dress this mannequin in?” The willowy blonde demanded.

“Jeans and a blouse? We don’t even sell junk like that.” She continued. She then looked at the young woman that was standing the window where her mannequin should have been. She was wearing a dress from the store.

She recognized the woman as a customer. “Excuse me ma’am, but you shouldn’t be there.” The blonde said to the motionless customer. The customer did not move or even acknowledge her request.

Laetitia was confused. The customer didn’t seem to want to move. She stood in the window as if she was a mannequin. Shrugging she thought if the customer wants to act like a mannequin she’ll treat her like that. Picking up the customer she put her in the storage behind the store.

Watching the older employee drag the mannequin that she saw as a human customer to the back amused him more then he’d have expected.

“John, take a look at this, “ the pretty piece of paper said as she pulled him over to a wall with a sign on it.

“It is our greatest pleasure to serve you, our customers” the sign read. He wondered why his paper Asian would call this out. Perhaps she knows him better than he thought.

John wanted to try something. Although his Asian Paper was fantastic, he didn’t want the woman in front of him to be the same. He changed the setting and pointed at the sign. He then pointed at the tall willowy blonde.
