Then I'd picture my next boyfriend doing the same for me. I enjoyed chatting with these men about what they thought was hot, or what their girlfriends liked, or what the special occasion was. I wasn't dating anyone at the time, so it was sweet to see a guy do something to make a woman feel sexy at the expense of his own comfort.

I'm now overly conscious as a shopper to re-hang anything I ever try on."Īssisting male clients is the easiest (and most fun) Cleaning up after adults isn't in the job description and it felt degrading.
