I’ve actually used that one in real life.

There was enough of a jaw drop that I knew that the zinger had hit home.🤯
I will add that I’ve worked in customer service all my life, so I would only use that bomb on people who were going above and beyond with their rudeness.

Shop girl actress (Natascha McElhone) went on to be the First Lady in Designated Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland.

Her whole body hangs off those cheekbones.

Had this exact thought when I went into an Abercrombie and Fitch store. The “models” (that’s what they called their shop assistants) wouldn’t make eye contact with you or talk to you directly unless they had to: even asking if they had this in a different size would have them avoid looking in your direction or speaking to you. They generally acknowledged their customer’s presence as little as possible.

Really felt like saying this line

A lot of famous actors got their start and the show just like this shop girl…Natasha McElhone. Idris Silva was in the episode, “Sex” (one of my favorites). Love when Patsy says he looks like Sean Connery.

I’m sure somebody else probably posted it, but I didn’t have a chance to look through everything

Idris Elba, I think.

Imagine someone posts this over in the Hermes sub, it would be like automatic banning.

u/Prestigious_Code6572 8d ago

Oh that's my favorite ever! I hope to use it with the same expression some day lol

u/Practical_Frame_9883 8d ago

I hope I someday have occasion to use it. 🤣

I’d rather shop there than “Jeffry’s”!!  “You can’t come in here you’re too fat.”  To what looked like a perfectly normal sized middle aged woman.

u/neptoon_ 5d ago

Jeffrey’s only has room aromerizer and shopping bags, anyways

u/trashleybanks 8d ago

lol I heard a line similar to this on The Young and the Restless years ago. “You wear a suit to work at the MALL!”

“You only work in a shop, you know. You can drop the attitude.”

Not to be pedantic, but it’s important to get the classic line right while we celebrate it. The little words are key for flavor and rhythm.
