'' Quanta pelle c'e' nella pelle?'' Questa la domanda amletica che una cliente mi ha ripetuto qualche giorno fa, mentre guardava degli stivali, quando mi sono avvicinato per dirle che stavamo chiudendo (erano le 5.55 ed era l'ultima cliente nel negozio). ''Come faccio a sapere quanta pelle c'e' nella pelle?'' Volendo essere utile, come sempre, quindi ho guardato la composizione sull'etichetta e le ho riposto che visto che non era un mix di materiali, premsumevo fosse 100% pelle. Comunque non e' stata soddifatta delle risposta e se n'e' andata :-(
''How much leather is in the leather?'' That's what a customer kept asking me the other day, looking at some pair of boots, once I approached her to tell that the shop was closing ( it was 5.55 and she was the very last customer left). ''How do I know how much leather is in the leather?'' I really wanted to be useful, as usual, so I looked at the composition of the shoe on the label and said that I assume that the leather part of a shoes is 100%leather. Anyway, she was not happy with that and left. :-(
I don't really mind having customers asking me tricky, detailed and even crazy questions as I often end up learning things from them. Below another example. The next day after the 'leather question', I was on the shop front and was asked by a girls if we have disco pants. I have to be honest and say that I never heard of a such thing, and that's not even mention in the blogs and magazines that I read. ANYWAY, after a few seconds, I directed her where we have the super skinny tube pants and leggings but alas they are not disco pants! Back home I googled them and found out what they are: high waisted pants/leggings with a shiny finish a zip and a button. Like the ones that Olivia Newton John wears at the end of Grease. Capisc? You can get them from American Apparel in lots of colours.
