There is only one thing worse than a shop changing room, and that is a shop changing room without a mirror.What could possibly have been going through retailer's minds when they decided to remove the most crucial thing from the cubicle? I've asked a couple of shop owners, and their response is always the same: "Get customer out into the shop and into better light, so the sales assistant can check the sizing and fit." So, it's a sell-more-clothes thing? "Well, yeah, that's the whole idea of a shop!" Whatever.
I encountered one of these changing rooms recently in a swimwear shop! Now, no-mirror cubicles are bad enough when you're trying on jeans or a short skirt but, in the name of all things reasonable, what right does a swimwear shop have to remove mirrors from it's changing rooms? I was in shock.This had to be some kind of joke! They didn't seriously expect me to walk out in the middle of the shop in my underwear and half a bikini? I asked the assistant. "It's no different from the beach honey," she replied. " And what do you have to worry about anyway?" Well, my unshaven legs for a start, and my butt and my ....everything. I couln't do it. Cossie pulled over my g-string, i tried to walk out into the shop but, as ridiculous as it sounds, I just couldn't. I freaked out.
Has anyone out there encountered this in a changing room?, and if so what would you have done? I think this is crazy, not everyone has the most perfect body- me included and i feel as thought these people have a right to look at themselves is privacy.
