What was the most awkward store that you've been in?

Me it had to be the time I went into the Victoria secret store with my friends cause they wanted to buy stuff and I tried to look for a bathroom and went into the back and well people thought I was doing something else and kicked me out. >_>

And why dose it smell so bad in there!?! I couldn't breath the whole time I was in there. :|

That's a good story! :P

Hmm...I don't really think I've ever been in any awkward stores. My guy friends have had me accompany them to more male-oriented stores, I guess, but nothing was ever embarrassing.

I guess I've felt awkward being in stores where I recognize (but don't know/like) all of the employees...

lol

last year me and my family drove 4 hours to Sudbury, Ontario to go to my cousins wedding (shes like 22 IDIOT) and we stayed at the hotel where the wedding was held at. Anyway, the hotel was connected to a small mall, and im walking around with my mom in it and we go into this cool looking store that looked like a spencers gifts. So we're walking through it looking at things then all of a sudden turn the corner and WHAM - huge wall of **** and sex toys.

Extremely awkward.

any popular clothing store like bootlegger, and stuff like that...i can't stand the kind of people that are usually in there, and usually the employees aren't any better.

A Mikasa store, with only one cashier gawking at you through the crystal ware. :( Or when there's more than one cashier staring, and they nudge each other to stare at me.

Definitely the Hustler store in L.A. So much porn and penis related items, it was pretty ridiculous.

Zumiez at my closest mall. I had a job there, but suffice it to say things didn't work out. I haven't talked to the store manager in a while and it's incredibly awkward when my friends want to go in. Just doesn't feel right. The last couple of times I've been lucky enough to miss the manager, I genuinely dislike her.

Maternity store with my sister. I was about 14, my sister was about 16, we were walking around the mall, my sister just saw cloths and dragged me in without even looking at the title of the store. We didn't figure it out until my sister noticed that ALL the cloths were large......Everyone in there was giving us weird looks......like I got a girl pregnant in high school as a freshman... ...it was pretty awkward..... Also buying something for my ex-girlfriend as victories secret was kinda awkward, and buying a present for her at a sex store (Lingerie) ....also kinda awkward..... But now, I dont feel awkward in any stores anymore....

Any womens clothing store. The sales people try their hardest not to add suruptitious patronising tones to their voices when they ask, "can I help you?"

But I know they're really saying, "you poor stupid idiot, you have no idea about women's clothes."

Why would a zumiez have a chick manager? I've never been in one but they're like a skate/snow/surf shop right? Like Active meets Pac Sun? A female manager at that kind of shop sounds like bad news.

is it because girls don't skate, ski, snowboard, or surf? or because they can't run stores?

Sex shops are NOT intimidating, but ignorant pushy salesmen can be...irritating at best, especially when you know more about the products they are trying to peddle than they do.

I never feel completely comfortable shopping in Victoria's Secret. I don't know why either. It's just a store; same as the bra and panties section at Kohl's...

more along the lines of the majority of girls that are into those stores are in for the fashion rather than the lifestyle. They couldn't put a skateboard together but could show you the latest fashions. But girls that actually skate or snowboard or whatever are cool. Plus most managers at trendy chain skate shops usually act like they're better than everyone else. This is just my opinion from actual attempts at trying to get a job at similar stores.

The most awkward was when I went to Puerto Rico. I completely forgot my swimming trunks so my mom went and bought me a pair, but they were REALLY tight(no homo but I have a big ass) and we were suppose to go to this beach. She says it's okay stop being a girl no one cares your going to be in the water anyway. So I'm like fine and half way their a huge thunderstorm happens so they decide to go to this mall. Here I am surrounded by mad pretty ladies and I look like a fool. I never wanted to leave a place with so many sexy chicas before in my life. I felt out of place and looked like an idiot and my mom just laughed. That ahole. lol

She can put a board together in 5 minutes, but she wasn't a total tom boy. The girls you're referring too only work the sales floor.

well it was around christmas time this year and i wanted to get my girlfriend some underwear that shed like, and the only place around was fashion bug. i thought they would have a much larger/naughtier selection, but i guess i was wrong. i didnt feel like looking around much more so i found this lace purple thong thing (which she ended up liking a lot :p ) and when i brought it to the counter i saw some candy on a table for sale, so i went over there first and grabbed some bubbeliscious bubble gum. i brought them to the counter and the lady just kinda stared and chuckled, saying that it was an odd combination. then, the embarrassing part, she held them both up and started laughing and showing other employees what i was buying. i was just kinda standing there like.. wtf.

I can't remember what the store was called, but they sold all this gothic stuff, and the sales woman was wearing a black corset and had piercings all over her face. Then in walks a blonde girl, wearing a mini skirt and a pink tank top.

I felt so confused and scared and left like two minutes later. :?

Never felt uncomfortable in a store, gone into lots of those stores where the walls are covered in white female underwear articles without breaking a sweat... but there is one store that I'm afraid to go into, a jeans store, cause there's a clerk inside... she's... way too friendly with me... long story short, she scares me and I'm not going back.

i went in to a beauty spar before by mistake, i was wondering around then realised i was in there.
