Rack's and Pacer's

Anyone who works with the public is bound to have those day's where you really start to wonder why there is not a camera taping this for YouTube! Cereal Shoes!

Now Twitch was not here in the store today to help me and believe me I sooooo needed that little happy distraction to aid in the taming of the craziest Pacer EVER!!! What is a Pacer Miss Amber? Gather around and let Miss Amber explain.

 All woman will tell you there are two types of husbands when shopping : The Rack's and the Pacer's. The Rack's are like handy little helpers that hold your coat, purse, and any item that you may need to re-try on just to make sure it looks good. The Racks are sweet , quiet , and very very supportive. (No lie ladies one special Rack is one of the biggest cheerleader's for his wife I have ever seen!).

Then there are the Pacer's oh the Pacer's these poor tortured souls that display such pain and agony while their wife is  shopping that one almost feels the need to keep the phone handy in case this poor Pacer goes postal! Unlike the Racks, the Pacer's are not sweet, supportive, or even willing to aid in the holding of anything!

 Girl's you know, you have seen them by the dressing rooms, pacing back and forth like a lion in a zoo, making such observations as the dislike of EVERY item that they see on their significant other. They gasp at the idea of trying things on, and will nearly pass out when the gal wants to try on boots too.

But ladies the entertainment factor of watching a Pacer in action is that of watching the finally of your favorite t.v. show with out commercials! I swear to you every time I get a Pacer in the store I try my dangest not to stare! Oh, but it is far to interesting to take your eye's off of the situation!

Today was a SUPREME Pacer day!!! Oh ladies the Pacer of all time came in today and I have given him the title of Supreme Pacer Ala King!!!! Girls I couldn't take my eyes off of this guy. From the gasping over the idea of her trying on clothes, to the full on tantrum that is only comparable to a 2 year old with out a nap and on an iv of Mountain Dew! This was the moment in which I swear to you if I didn't think that he would pounce me like a Mountain Lion at the suggestion of me taping him for YouTube I soooo would of asked!

No lie he almost fell to the floor when she went to get a different size of shirt! It got to be almost a sport for me to see what next would set off the Supreme Pacer Ala King! Now of course I was humane to him I even offered him a chair to which I might add he replied " If I sit we will be here FOREVER!" the best part of his reaction was the whine in his tone and the way he placed his hand on his forehead like he was acting out a scene from Gone With the Wind! 

The wife was a gem of a girl and you could see that by the fourth shirt and second pair of jeans she too was my comrade in the game of Don't Break the Ice but in the Pacer form! He would whine, she would grab a dress, he would gasp and I would hand her a pair of jeans, he would stalk back and forth on Ferdinand and she would ask for a pair of size 8 boots!

By the end I believe she was the victor due to the fact that when she finally settled on a wrap he almost went through the door he was so excited! She smiled thanked me for the help, I smiled and thanked her for the purchase ( and thanked her in my head for the entertainment!)

This has got to become a reality show somewhere! I mean you can almost see the previews for it on TLC now! The material for this show would never be boring, or the same and you can guarantee that it would be a hit!  I kid you not once you have seen a Pacer in action you are going to always appreciate the Racks, but crave the entertainment of the Pacer's that walk in the store!

(disclaimer : No Pacer's were harmed during this shopping experience)
