Chapter 9 gloves

One day, I suddenly wanted to buy a pair of leather gloves, so I went to a shopping mall in Ginza.After finally finding a counter selling gloves in a corner of the mall, I said to the clerk: "I want to buy a pair of brown gloves." While talking, I looked into the glass counter.Although it is generally said that you buy brown gloves, there are different shades of the color of the gloves, and the styles are also varied, some are simple in style, and some are decorated with ribbons.I looked from the top of the glass counter for a while, and then leaned over the front glass to search for a better pair of brown gloves. I finally found a pair of good ones. I pointed to the gloves and said to the clerk:

"Please show me this." The clerk is no longer young, she asked slowly: "Is it this one?" With that said, I'm going to get another pair.I hurriedly said: "No, it's the pair next to me." The clerk handed me the gloves. I took a closer look. It might be because of the light. These gloves were not the color I wanted.I say: "Sorry, it's not this pair..." Then, I looked into the cabinet again.Now that the service in shopping malls has improved, under such circumstances, they usually take the initiative to take out the goods and put them together for customers to choose, but this was not the case at that time.Next, I pointed to the lower shelf of the cabinet and said:

"Excuse me, could you please show me this pair?" The clerk stood still and asked: "Which pair?" I knelt down, pointed to the gloves from outside the cabinet, and said: "It's this pair." The clerk lazily pulled out the gloves underneath. "No, not this pair, but the pair above this." I managed to get the gloves out, but the gloves still didn't feel the same as when I looked at them from the outside of the cabinet. "Sorry, it's not this color, um..." I was about to continue reading when the clerk said: "Then what color will it work?"

"how to say……" I thought about it.Color is really something that is difficult to describe, and it is difficult to express it verbally. At this time, a good idea suddenly flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help calling it brilliant.It turned out that I was wearing a pair of brown boots that day, and I was planning to buy a pair of gloves of the same color as the boots, so I came here.I happily pointed to the boots and said: "It's the same brown color as these boots!" The clerk leaned a little over the counter to see my boots, but couldn't seem to see them.

So, I wanted to lift my feet up so that the clerk could see clearly. I looked around first. It was very deserted and there was no one around.I looked back and saw a white wall behind me.I thought, "It's okay now," so I put one hand on the glove counter and lifted my right foot up behind me like a ballet dancer.I was wearing a miniskirt that day, and miniskirts and boots were the way to go at the time, so it was a staple for me.I raised my feet high, almost to the side of my head, so that the shop assistant could take a closer look, and said: "That's the color."

At this moment, the wall behind me suddenly split into two halves with a "swipe", and an uncle stood in the middle. When I turned around, my eyes met the uncle's.That white wall turned out to be an elevator!The door of the elevator closed, and it carried the astonished uncle up the stairs.I never dreamed that there would be an elevator in this place, and during the time I was here, no one took an elevator up or down.I was so embarrassed that I hurriedly put my foot down and said, "Oh, it's so bad!" while looking at the clerk.If the clerk was willing to smile a little, I would have a step to go down, but she didn't smile at all, just stared at my face, and I clearly felt that she was saying in her heart: "This person is really weird!" Thinking of the embarrassed uncle on the elevator, I couldn't help but sympathize with him.From the uncle's point of view, I took the elevator well, but when I opened the door, I saw a woman in a miniskirt with her feet raised high. The woman turned her head and looked at me, which was really scary .

The uncle must be thinking: "What the hell did I see?" At this moment, the elevator door closed, and the elevator continued to go up. "Oh, really!" I continued to look at the gloves, but I didn't have the excitement of "I'm going to buy gloves today" when I first entered the mall.I took another look at the gloves on the counter, pointed to a pair of boots that were similar in color and said: "Oh, this pair is very good." The clerk took out the gloves, looked at the price tag, and told me the price.I opened the handbag and took out the wallet, but when I looked inside the wallet, there was only five hundred yen!The so-called smearing and blackening refers to this kind of situation, right? "Huh?" I thought about it for a while, and then I remembered that I used up my wallet the day before, but I forgot all about it just now.I secretly blamed myself for being "too stupid", and said:

"Ah, sorry, I didn't have cash, but I did have a check." As I said that, I stuck my head into the tote bag and rummaged through it.There were no credit cards back then, so young people carried checks with them.The clerk seems to be a very calm person, just quietly watching me work.I rummaged through my handbag and finally came to a conclusion: when I changed this handbag today, I forgot to put my check in it!I couldn't think about it, so I whispered: "Sorry, I didn't bring a check either." The clerk was not surprised at all, she said "oh", and put the gloves back in the cabinet.

After making a fuss for a long time, it turned out to be such a result.I walked out full of shame, the wind was blowing on my hands without gloves, and I felt chilly. Since then, when I go to the mall to buy something, I must first look behind me to see whether it is a "wall" or an "elevator". Secondly, I must confirm that there is indeed money in the wallet and that the credit card is indeed on me. Only then did he dare to talk to the shop assistant.
