i had a really good experience at work yesterday. a girl came in looking for a prom dress. she wasnt very confident, and didnt show any interest in even trying on a dress. she dreaded prom. so i showed her dresses and told her to put them on. she was even too shy to come out of the fitting room but after some coaxing, she did and everyone was telling her how beautiful she looked. after the 3rd dress, she found one that made her absolutely light up. she looked so gorgeous and she was just glowing. she ended up finding two dresses she loved, and you could see her cousin and her dad relieved and happy.

i stayed 20 minutes after my shift ended, just to make sure she left happy and smiling. she came in looking upset and unconfident and she left beaming. it’s times like these that make me love my job.
