Yesterday when I was shopping I had to go to Boots for some eyeshadow and a couple of other bits. It wasn't very busy in there and I have always found the staff very helpful and they will sometimes engage in a short conversation while they serve you.
The assistant that served me on the pharmacy counter took my card and put it in the machine, but as it is a bit high I needed to swivel it around so that I could see to enter my PIN but as I did so, the machine bit fell off and shot over the counter. I apologised for destroying the equipment and we had a chuckle about it when she said I didn't know my own strength.
On my way out of the shop there was another young lady who was promoting a certain beauty product to hide shadows under the eyes. She stopped me to ask if I would be interested in finding out more about it so I politely asked her if I had shadows under my eyes. She looked very closely and told me that I had lovely skin and no, I didn't have any shadows. Then I asked her how old she thought I was. She laughed and told me that she wasn't very good at guessing ages but as I didn't have as many wrinkles as her Mum, I must be in my early fifties!
This made me laugh and I agreed, she wasn't very good at guessing age because I am 62. She then asked me how I kept my skin so smooth so I told her that I had never bought expensive skin products like the one she was promoting, I only ever used the cheap basic ones, that I had a good and varied diet including lots of vegetables and fruit and that I made sure that I got a good night's sleep.
She then thanked me for my advice and I went on my way. I wonder if she's still promoting her eye product today or has she returned somewhat disillusioned to the tills?
