Thinking he was making a nasty comment about her size Alice snaps back ‘I’m well able to find something in my size, thank you’ The man looks nonplussed, after a second he answers, puzzled ‘what’s wrong with you size?’, turning to go back to the counter he says over his shoulder ‘Anyway if there’s anything I can do to help please ask.’
Feeling a little embarrassed about how she spoke to him Alice, carries on looking, finding a dress she likes she desperately looks through the rack to see if there’s one in her size, with disappointment she realises there isn’t and turns to leave, as she passes the counter the man asks her if she found anything she liked, stopping suddenly Alice looks at him for a second and stammers an apology for how she spoke to him earlier, then she says ‘there was a dress but it’s not in my size’.
