I currently sell shoes for a great company. I haven't worked shoes before and I am still learning how nasty it can be but this took the cake. Recently I had a customer come in to try on sandals. We have little nylon stocking footie things so people can try sandals on with out contaminating them with their foot funk. I asked this woman if she wanted a pair and she declined so I naturally thought she would try them on with the socks she was wearing. She literally peeled them off and her feet and about made me gag. Her feet were dirty, hairy and mangled. Again I offered her a footie and she vehemently refused insisting she just couldn't get the right feel with one on. I got her the sandals and helped her buckle them on. At that point I came very close to barfing on her feet because I realized her foot fungus was so bad she in fact had NO TOENAILS!!!!!!!! Just empty nail beds where the fungus had eaten them!!!! She even explained that to me like it wasn't something utterly disgusting! Meanwhile I was sitting on the floor trying not to dry heave or show any sign of repulsion in front of her. She did buy one pair of sandals after trying on several. Thank the stars for aerosol anti fungal and disinfectant. I was still in favor of just damaging out the whole stack.
