Culture Shock

Today actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting, considering it's tax-free weekend. I worked the fitting room for the first half of today. No one was really rude. In fact Most of the customers were fairly reasonable, but one woman definitely stood out.

An elderly Asian woman came to the fitting room today looking for a strapless bra. I showed her a few options and gave her a fitting room. A few minutes after I put her in the fitting room, she cracked open the door and said that she couldn't get the straps back on. I offered to show her how to replace the straps and asked if I could come in to her fitting room. I opened the door, and she did NOT have a bra on.

Let me repeat this: SHE WAS NAKED

Most customers in this situation would have either: A) Kept a bra on and let me in the room or B) Asked me to wait a moment while they put a shirt on.

Not this customer. Nope. She's just naked. Hanging a boob. Or in this case, two of them.

I understand that in some cultures, nudity is fairly acceptable. But to me, it still came as a culture shock.
