Things not to say to a heavier customer

A bigger lady came into The Blouse to try on some skirts. The size she grabbed from the rack was definitely going to be too small- aka she probably couldn't even do it up. I've learned that this is probably where I should have left the customer to discover that on her own. Yep. I probably shouldn't have said, "That size probably won't fit, so if you need a bigger one, just let me know." Whoops. Realizing my faux pas, I tried to recover by saying I could also bring a smaller one... but it was obviously too late. She was not too impressed.

I should have applied for jobs digging ditches, I'm good at that. Especially deep ones.
