'I know this is probably a silly question..... but do you have a lipgloss that is not too sticky and isn't too shinny?'

And everyone wonders why I think the exams are getting easier.

'Slipper Mouth.'
In the Hall of Plenty , it's not just the customers who can say the wrong thing.
No, it is not.
We have a wonderful member of staff, that can not only say the wrong thing , but keep on saying it. The most well intentioned clangers fall from her innocent lips and when her brain catches up, it just gets worse.
For instance, when a customer complained about us not having her foundation in stock and insisted on seeing someone higher up. Along came Slipper Mouth and innocently replied to the woman's desperate, heartfelt cries of,
'Do you even know what it is like to not have your makeup and be forced to go outside without foundation?'
With,
'No madam, I'm not that vain, but I can make sure they call you when it does come in.'
The woman stomped off dragging her red faced husband behind her leaving Slipper Mouth gasping,
'How rude, do you think it was something we said?'
Being a particular favourite of some of the older customers, then brings pitfalls in itself. Especially, when she saw the wife of an elderly couple she had known for years. Thinking the husband was simply taking his time, she bounded over and bawled,
'Come on where is he then? Taking his time isn't he?'
The lady's daughter explained,
'I'm afraid my father has died.'
'Oh err, well it's nice to see you out then.' She replied. Feeling some what awkward, when she later saw them buying shoes she decided to rectify her mistake and said,
'Oh, that will cheer you up.'
'Cheer her up?' asked the daughter.
'Yes? Buying shoes always cheers me up. Wearing them somewhere nice are we?'
'They are for the funeral ' said her daughter through gritted teeth.
'Great,' Slipper Mouth said without meaning too, but her mouth got the better of her. 'You...always ....need ...a....pair of black shoes for a funeral........I guess. Bye.'
And she ran
So why do we call her Slipper Mouth? Possibly, because she spends so much time with her foot in her mouth, she should wear slippers to stop her toes shrinking!
No, it is not.
