Inspired by the restroom thread...fitting rooms

[Aurora63]

I was reading that thread about the teenaged boy in the restroom with his mother and younger sibling, and it made me remember an instance at my dept. store.

I work in ladies clothing, and every once in awhile this guy, in his late teens/early twenties will come to my dept. to try on jeans. Yes, women's jeans, but if that's what he wants to wear, whatever.

He has come twice while I was working, both times with a friend (girl, about the same age). The first time, he just sauntered in, didn't even ask, just proceeded into the fitting room. I politely knocked on the door and told him that this was a women's fitting room, and he could try on the jeans down in the men's dept.

The friend got very "attitudy" with me, saying he was gay, so it didn't matter. I told her yes it did matter, as most women would not be comfortable with any man in the fitting room.

He at least didn't argue and just left.

Anyway, I thought it was totally just lacking in the common sense dept. for him to think he could use the fitting room in the women's department. And more than once, after he has been told! Though there are no signs saying "Women only" or anything like that, isn't it just common sense that men don't use the womens fitting room?

We had a couple that went into the fitting room, and they had big grins when they came out.

I guess being gay is as good an excuse as any for a man to go into a womens' fitting room but still I think I would feel uncomfortable trying things on next to a man.

I was in a department store the other day and went to the fitting room to try on a skirt, and the only attendant there was a man--he dutifully led me back into the women's fitting room area, right past the other stalls full of women trying things on, to unlock a fitting room for me. THAT bothered me a little!

When I worked in the Lingerie Department of a department store we used to have a cross dresser come in (usually late at night when we were not busy) and buy/try on lingerie. I had to help him with slips one time. My manager had to help him with underwear (finding sizes.)

He always tried them on in the Men's fitting room.

Yesterday I was waiting to use a fitting room in the men's department. A female salesclerk suguested I go over to women's wear and use the fitting rooms ar there are more fitting rooms in women's wear. I just waiting in the men's department for the next available room.

If it were individual dressing rooms, then I'd have to say that I don't see the problem with that.

I was at a department store one time and I was going to try on clothes. While I was looking, I saw a couple (probably in their 30s) go into the dressing room. There was no saleswoman by the door so no one stopped the guy. I definitely didn't want to try on clothes while a guy was in there so I just waited until they left to go in.
