This was not really sucky, rather bizarre and creepy.
I was busy replacing missing pricetags for wet shaving supplies yesterday, when this lady approached me.
DJ: little ol´DrugstoreJulie
L: customer
L: Excuse me...
DJ: Hello, how may I help you?
L: I was looking for razorblades, um...because I think I might need a new one.
DJ: For wet shaving?
L: Yesyesyes, I use this, um, soap with it
DJ: Sure, for which system? *pointing to shelf with womens´razors*
L: I don´t know that. You see, I bought this razor from you about two years ago...you shave your legs with it. Now the thingy on the top, I think it is called the blade...it´s not shaving that well anymore, the hair on my legs...its kinda clogged with hair and not sharp anymore.... Um, the handle of the thing is yellow, I believe.
*no yellow colored razor in sight, I consider she might be referring to our store-brand which frequently changes designs and show her the system and a box of the matching blades...in the vain hope she might recognize the shape or something*
L: No that isn´t it.
DJ: I am very sorry that I cannot help you right now. If you can find out either the name of the system you are using or bring it into the store I might be able to find out which blades will fit.
L: So you will have blades that fit when I bring my razor?
DJ: I might, I would have to check first.
L: Will you? ohhhhh *smiles and looks at me expectanly*
DL: Sure ma´am, you bring in your razor next time and I will see what I can do.
L: Thank youuuuuuu thank youuuu so much.
I don´t know what was stranger, the idea of ONE blade in use for TWO years (the image of cut and scabbed legs with an occasional blood infection comes to mind) or the general weirdness in her manners.
She didn´t look like a druggie either (we are located right downtown).
Slightly puzzled, Julie
