apparently I am also a therapist

I sell tanning sessions and receive entire marriages as supplementary information. #

A customer told me about her affair today. I need it established immediately that I did not ask. We went from normal conversation to `”my husband doesn’t pay attention to me”` with such speed that I actually had to mentally reconstruct how we’d arrived there. Then there is somebody at work, she feels guilty, except perhaps not guilty enough to stop, and suddenly she is asking what I think.

What do I think? I think I am twenty years old and standing beside cleaning products. Why am I moral authority?

I did what I always do when clients turn the shop into confession. Listened, said very little, tried not to make any statement powerful enough to alter the course of somebody’s marriage. Then she went for her lamp and approximately five minutes later another woman came in furious because she couldn’t find parking.

From adultery to parking in under ten minutes.

Retail is incredible.

Remember me, Eclipse.
