A moment of your time

I was shopping with my cousin to buy a bridesmaid dress for her wedding at Windsor at the block. Most of that isn't relevant, but I'm just painting a picture.

As I'm grabbing dresses off the rack an employee asks if I'd like her to start a dressing room for me. I comply and continue searching.

The girl, we'll call her pixley, approached me again to take the newly acquired dresses. I told her I was ready to try on the dresses. In an attempt to be personable she started a conversation that went a little something like this...

Pixley- what are you shopping for?
Me- a bridesmaid dress.
P- are you getting married?
M- no she (as I point to my cousin) is.
P- (toward my cousin) are you excited?

Let me interject here and point out what is obvious to everyone, wait... no, you can figure it out yourself.
Back to the conversation

P- (doesn't wait for a response) I mean has it hit you yet? Because I am turing 21 next week and it like hasn't really hit me yet, ya know?

She leaves and let's us try on our clothes in peace.

We find the perfect dress but I need it in a bigger size so we ask our dear pixley if they have it at a different store. She looks it up and informs us that there is one in the store. She pauses for a second and realizes that it's the one on the mannequin.

P- do you want the dress on the mannequin?
M- yes that's perfect.
P-(after she takes the mannequin down and removes the dress) hold on, let me put the sensor on it.

She is putting on a sensor so I don't steal it? I guess I understand, but I've made it pretty clear that I am going to purchase this dress.
Since she went to the trouble of putting the sensor on the dress I tried it on again. It fit great and I just had to buy it.
Walking up to the checkout counter I overheard

P-(to her co-workers) I heard cochella was legit
(silence)
P- yeah my sorority sister totally went

I didn't so much overhear it, as I was forced to hear it when pixley decided to have a one-sided conversation with her co-workers rather than ring up the customer right in front of her.

But I must thank pixley, if that is her real name. Without her I would not have this wonderful story that has overshadowed the story of buying the dress for my cousin's wedding.

Thanks for listening
