Should they want to try something on, you are to make sure the dressing room is clear of women and that they get absolute privacy. Their money spends just as well as everyone else's and we will not lose their business to another store."

Try to remember that most large scale stores are all about the bottom line. If someone was in my business dropping a few hundred on clothes, I wouldn't care a bit about who was handing the money to me. And, if you are a regular, the employees will always look out for you.

As for the customers, don't worry about them. I just tell myself that the haters are jealous of me


for some reason, what I keep flashing on is the scene from "Pretty Woman", where the sales clerks were really mean and snide to Julia roberts. After she went in and got all those clothes from another shop, she stopped back at the first store. Asked if they were paid from commissions. "BIG mistake!" Great line, and a great thing to remember!
