[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 307625, member: 1991"] When I went on my final shopping trip for the Mother of the Bride outfit (I had several attempts, most dismal failures for various reasons) husband actually ASKED to come too. In shops where the changerooms were single, he came in with me. In larger stores with changeroom areas he stayed in the lounge area (well away from anywhere he could see people undressed or undressing) AFTER asking for permission. I would try on the dress (getting help from the shop assistant if husband was not able to come help me) and then walk out to show him. He was a darling about it all, very helpful, amazingly patient. But if anyone had tried the "no spikka da English" routine and was in a dressing room unwelcome, I know the store would have had security there in a flash. They have walkie-talkings plus mobile phones. If needed, reinforcements would have arrived fast, the police close behind. The mall's security tapes would have been grabbed, the bloke would be in deep doo-doo so fast his head would spin. That's why we always ask. And then do what we're told. In whatever language. I wonder how often that guy plays that trick? And why his wife would put up with it, with him clearly using the opportunity to ogle other women and verbally degrade them? The other thought occurs to me - what were his family doing while he was being so stubborn? Was anyone counting how many outfits they took in vs how many they brought out? Because his behaviour would have been a very effective distraction to heavy-duty shoplifting. Marg [/QUOTE]
