I went today to get snowboarding boots from a specialist supplier.
I was unwell with long covid for ages and put on lots of weight but in the last 6 months have lost loads of the weight I put on, and I am starting to feel good in myself again.
The lady who worked at the store was one of those types who comes across as very abrupt and I didnt think her customer service was up to much, but that in itself didn't overly bother me.
However, she, during the course of the fitting (took a couple of hours) she repeatedly told me that I'm short and have stumpy legs (I'm 5ft 3), that I have chunky legs, chunky calves and fat feet.
I understand that the boots need to fit properly but this just felt so personal. Surely she could have been more diplomatic?
We are going away next week and I needed the boots so I did buy them, but am really upset about the things she said.
She was nice as pie to DH, who also got a pair. I don't think she liked me very much.
