some like it haute, meadows shopping district, 9:54am

karlie gingerly approaches the clerk. the clerk’s eyes remain fixated on her phone

karlie: (quietly) um, excuse me…

her eyes carefully scan karlie, first her shoes [wedges? hmph, just wear a proper heel…], then her dress [olive green doesn’t work on you, bb], her face [a softer red might work on your face], and stops at her bangs [definitely cuts her own hair]. her nose wrinkles in disgust and returns to scrolling.

????: (curtly) or a clearance rack.

karlie: (leans forward) i’m here for the interview…

????: (raises eyebrows) really? (sneers) you? hmph…

she forces a smile…

????:  i’ll go get the manager. wait here.

she turns to walk away but stops

????: and kindly refrain from touching anything you can’t afford to buy….
