Tales from the PRON Store, Part II (safe, no pix)

Q- What happens when three blind people, who have never been in a PRON store before come into one with a bunch of questions about sex toys?

A- My job gets a whole lot FUNNER.

For proof one need to only live my life today, for three sightless potentates (armed with canes and dark glasses, no less) mistakenly wandered into the store this afternoon asking, "What kind of store are we in?" When informed about the wares of a PRON shop, I noticed on their faces, all three, expressions of wonderment and curiosity. I told them that luckily, pornography is more than just a visual medium, and we offered more than just adult DVD's, sexy lingerie and other stuff one can only appreciate by seeing. Sex toys are geared more for physical pleasure than visual stimulus, and it was then when they said to me, (irony alert) "Show us more."

The next 20 minutes were chocked with an education-laden grope fest where I helped them stroke or feel any number of items from dildos, to vibrators, to pocket pussies culminating in, what I think I may be treating myself for an early X-Mas, now having actually felt it, the Tera Patrick Pussy & Ass. (link is nsfw).

Picture it if you can; dozens of dongs and jerk sleeves laid out on a counter, fresh from the factory wrapping. Vibrators buzzing and dancing across the surface, while all the time the store owner, my boss is watching. I later found out he was trying his hardest not to giggle his arse off. I remember thinking at the time he would be pissed, with all his unpurchased merchandise being fondled, accompanied with the sounds of "oooo's" and "aaaah's" floating throughout the store, attracting the regular members of our in-house raincoat squad out from the cracks where they hide, wondering what the hell was going on.

Before I knew it, there was an audience watching me demonstrate the usage and proper cleaning techniques of a pocket pussy to blind people.

And we hadn't even touched the topic of flavored lubes yet. But luckily, we have samples of that stuff on the ready for consumers to partake. And they did partook of all the samples we had available.

What did they buy? Not a damn thing. But they said they'd be back. (If only I had a nickel for every time I heard that). Bummer. The upside is, my boss was very impressed with the quality of my customer service. Let's hope he remembers when raise time rolls around.
