Why I love my job
I love my job.
Seriously.
Tonight, I had the BEST call. It was around 11 PM, and a gentleman called the entity known herein as Pelts Leathermore. He didn't sound drunk, but I could hear a woman laughing in the background, and I'm wondering if she put him up to it. As the name suggest, Pelts offers a variety of leather goods: jackets, handbags, wallets, luggage and the like.
"Thank you for calling Pelts Leathermore, this is Vanillafluffy, how may I help you?"
"I have a question about your products, and I hope you won't take offense."
Great, it's probably some animal rights nut. "I can help you with that!" (Which I HAVE to say, regardless of whether or not it's actually TRUE.)
"You have such great stuff, really luxurious."
"Thank you, sir."
"Do you carry BDSM products?"
"Sir, I'm afraid that's a niche we don't occupy. Unfortunately, the closest thing we have at this time are some chaps."
"I saw those. Thanks anyway."
"Good night, and thank you for calling Pelts Leathermore." I then proceeded to laugh myself inside out.
My caller may have been trying to rattle me, but kiddies, I could discuss the merits of suede vs. leather floggers and stinging toys vs. thuddy toys at length with nary a blush. I worked the dungeon at an adult bookstore for months, and I am not unfamiliar with the Scene. If Pelts did suddenly start branching out into adult gear, I would totally be into it. (Hell, that might even get me into management---I can just imagine indoctrinating the noobs about correct restraint technique.)
Pelts has been having some difficulties lately, and that could turn them around. I can just imagine it---and my caller was right, with their quality, Pelts would turn out superior toys. And really, if they can make bags, why not hoods? Jackets---hello, corsets! Belts? You get the idea.
I'm just wondering who to suggest it to. Heh heh heh....
