Working in an adult products store is like seeing all kinds of life. Our senior employee May will share with you 5 true stories that are so outrageous that they even leave you with psychological trauma!
Story 1: Graduate students’ academic pursuits
"There was a man who claimed to be a master's student. He came in and said he wanted to 'buy samples for academic research'. He even wore a lab coat, gloves, and a magnifying glass to 'study' each toy. The most outrageous thing was that he asked to cut the toys open to 'verify the material' and asked if he could do the experiment there!"
Story 2: Seeking a "partner" to spend Christmas with
"There's a weird uncle who comes in all the time to 'try out' silicone dolls, and he always says the same thing: 'I want to find a perfect partner for Christmas.' He talks to the dolls, takes pictures with them, and even feeds them! The most outrageous thing is that he once came wearing a Santa hat and a Santa skirt, saying he wanted to make Christmas cards for the dolls!"
Story 3: The “wine taster” of the toy industry
"The most bizarre thing was meeting a female customer who claimed to be a 'sex toy taster'. As soon as she came in, she asked to try the vibration frequency of the toys and even took notes in a notebook! The most surprising thing was that she also wanted to smell the toys and said to take notes on the 'texture and fragrance of the products'... Finally, she even wrote a rating form for us!"
Story 4: "Troublemaker" becomes "loyal customer"
"There was a man who kept coming in to make trouble, asking why our things were so expensive. He also took pictures of us and said he would go online to say bad things about us. Until one day his wife came in to buy something, I found out that he was trying to attract my wife's attention and let her know his sexual needs. Since then, he has become our loyal customer and comes in every month for "further training"!"
Story 5: Research on the "Pilot"
"The funniest thing was a man who claimed to be a pilot and wanted to study 'vibration frequency'. He always brought a professional vibration tester in and asked to test all vibrating toys. He also told me 'this frequency is the same as when a 747 takes off', 'this is like when a 777 lands'... The most outrageous thing is that he even wanted to write a research report for us!"
The clerk's inner thoughts:
“In fact, the most important thing in this industry is:
- Stay professional in the face of any strange requests
- Remember you are not a psychiatrist
- Sometimes I really have to smile and say "Sorry, we don't provide this kind of service"
- The most important thing is to know how to protect yourself! "
