I went in on an admittedly busy long weekend, in search of a new pair of shoes. Here's the conversation I had with the salesman:
Me: Hi, I need new summer shoes that offer extra-good ankle and arch support.
Salesman: What about sandals?
Me: I'd prefer something that laces up.
Salesman (measures feet): You're a big guy, you need a 13 1/2 (normally a 12).
Me (half thinking he just insulted my weight): I'm a little surprised by that.
Salesman (brings $450 shoes): These are larger than your normal size, because your orthotics take up space.
Me: They don't really do the trick. What about these other ($200) shoes?
Salesman (brings something different): Try these (walks away before I'm done lacing).
Me: I'm not sure about these either...
Salesman (brings a different pair of $450 shoes, also too large for my feet): Try these (walks away).
Me: They're too large.
Salesman: I'm surprised you don't like them.
Me: I think we're done.
