The store drew in loads of pre-teens so I was pretty used to hearing some less than intelligent conversations, but this one really tops the list. If anything is "OMG" worthy, what I heard behind the curtains on this faithful day is definitely it. Between comments like "Does this make me look fat?" and "I am going to get a boob job for my graduation present!" this conversation occurred. The following events really happened. Girl 1: (While reading the tag on her shorts) "Oh my God this is made in Vietnam, Oh my God it was made in a war!?" Girl 2: "What?" Girl 1: "These shorts were made in a war. I can't believe this store is selling stuff from a war. Wait, that was like 40 years ago, you mean these shorts were in boxes for like 40 years?" Girl 3: "Well the style does look kinda old." Girl 1: "Oh my God, Vietnam, that’s like a war right? I can't believe these were made in war." Girl 2: "It reminds me of my Grandpa..." Needless to say, I don't work there anymore. I got out before my brain had a chance to totally melt. Once upon a time I worked in the fitting rooms for Forever21.
