Roadside Lingerie Store

Customers talk to a few employees at a roadside lingerie store.

Unknown Speaker #1

Being out on the highway makes you gain a few pounds, feel a little out of shape, and just feel genuinely unlovable. It's important to feel sexy sometimes. And nothing will get you there quicker than a little lingerie.

Unknown Speaker #2

All right, everyone. So before we get out on the floor for today, I just wanted to open up, you know, the floor here. If anybody had any questions or concerns, I know we've been open for one week. We've done pretty good. And I feel like I just want to see how people are feeling about the sales technique. Are you liking, you know, making money per item? Would you rather go back to a sort of an hourly rage? Not an hourly rage. That's very, no. That's funny. Well,

Unknown Speaker #3

yeah. How are you feeling, Josh? If I can chime in,

Unknown Speaker #2

I was definitely worried about doing commission work at a roadside lingerie store.

Unknown Speaker #3

But it turns out everyone that's coming in is definitely buying.

Unknown Speaker #1

Nobody's really perusing here. Like, if they stopped, they definitely want something. I've noticed. There's a few curious customers.

Unknown Speaker #2

But I was worried. But people are coming in, and they're wanting lots of items. Yes.

Unknown Speaker #4

So I've had, obviously, no trouble myself. I'm also surprised at how easy the sales have been. I thought

Unknown Speaker #3

people would come in and look and all that stuff. But

Unknown Speaker #4

they come in fast. They know what they want. They seem like they're in a big hurry to get their

Unknown Speaker #5

lingerie on the road. So I'm surprised. I've had a few people just come up to me when I ask them if they need any help. They say, shut up, shut up, shut up. I need these ones. Right. And it seems like people are actually in and out. It almost feels like they're embarrassed to be in here. Like, they're coming in.

Unknown Speaker #2

Yeah, the door chimes, and then it chimes quickly

Unknown Speaker #5

as people exit.

Unknown Speaker #3

You all open?

Unknown Speaker #2

Oh,

Unknown Speaker #3

yes. You all open. Absolutely. Well, we're not quite yet. But if you want to come in and browse, we're going to open up the register. Either way, I'll happily pace back and forth right in front of the

Unknown Speaker #2

store. Or I can come in and browse. I don't want to make you work off the clock. Why don't you browse? Browse braziers, if you

Unknown Speaker #4

want. Browse braziers. I'll browse the bras. And, sir, I don't want to make any assumptions. But the men's section is right over there in that little corner.

Unknown Speaker #3

Thank you. And the doggy section?

Unknown Speaker #4

In the same corner.

Unknown Speaker #3

Great. Great, great. That'll look beautiful on your dog. You think so?

Unknown Speaker #4

I do think so. Yeah, it's a little bit. I will say it's one of our more covering items, you know?

Unknown Speaker #3

Well, I have a bulldog, and she's become a little self -conscious about her body, an English bulldog. And I just think if I get her this, it'll give her a little bit of the confidence that she knows that it doesn't matter what your form is, you're beautiful for who you are.

Unknown Speaker #4

That'll be beautiful. Let me guess. You take her to the dog park, none of the dogs are interested?

Unknown Speaker #3

At all. And

Unknown Speaker #2

it's confidence, in my opinion, because she's just got a beautiful soul. Right. And you're taking your dog to the dog park, you wanted

Unknown Speaker #3

to have sex there? I want it to be an option, for sure. I want it to be an option, just like any time anybody goes out, you want sex to be on the table.

Unknown Speaker #4

Of course. Of course, that's why we all dress in our products while we work. As you know, as you can see, you can see what some of the items look like. We have sort of walking mannequins, is what we like to

Unknown Speaker #2

call it. The people in the store actually serve as the mannequin as well. Yeah. We're all men wearing those silk boxers that are very loose. And there's a tight waistband, but they really billow out and they're loose.

Unknown Speaker #4

And they're really shiny, even if there isn't a light on in the room.

Unknown Speaker #2

Even if there's no light in the room, you can see these silk boxers. Scientists study them because they create light.

Unknown Speaker #3

You

Unknown Speaker #4

don't got to tell me I use men's silk boxers for my bright lights at

driving. You also know about the stink capture. They capture stink better than any other material on the market, which is good.

Unknown Speaker #2

night when I'm

Unknown Speaker #3

Yes. Yes. That's interesting, especially for a gentleman like myself who's making a lot of stink. It's good to know that. I'm so glad that you're reclaiming that.

Unknown Speaker #5

So many men are upset. They're upset that they smell bad. But I've been for years saying that stink is a commodity. Men and their stink, we need to be sort of owning it and holding it and being... Ching -ling -ling. Oh, so...

Unknown Speaker #4

I'll take this one large. Please. Thank you.

Unknown Speaker #5

Ready to roll. Thanks. Thanks. Whoa. Okay. He just left his

Unknown Speaker #4

credit card on the counter. All right. Bye.

Unknown Speaker #6

Oh, you got it!

Unknown Speaker #2

Wow. Okay. Jeez. Okay. So, was he embarrassed?

Unknown Speaker #5

I'm not 100 % sure

Unknown Speaker #3

his honey was here. Can I tell you what I see happen all the time amongst friends in my own relationships? Is you're ready to make love, but you don't have a middle ground between fully clothed and fully naked. So, you need something sexy to massage

Unknown Speaker #5

your way into the next level of lovemaking. I think that's probably what he had going on there. Yes. Yes. So, you think he was going to make love to his

Unknown Speaker #3

partner. And they weren't comfortable going from full clothed to full nude. They needed a

Unknown Speaker #5

middle ground. An intermediate.

Unknown Speaker #3

Yes. Yeah. A lot of people say that about lingerie. It is sort of that middle ground between being clothed and being

Unknown Speaker #2

naked. It is. It's the real compromise of clothing.

Unknown Speaker #5

It's two sides, naked and clothed, coming together for a handshake.

Unknown Speaker #3

I love that. Yes.

Unknown Speaker #2

Well, I think I'll take what you guys are wearing, but for dog. So, the silk boxers. And would you like, as we said, stink is a commodity. Would you

Unknown Speaker #3

like to invest in a few shares of stink? I actually wasn't sold on that at all.

Unknown Speaker #5

Are you sure? Stink is on the rise. It always is. I wasn't sure about

Unknown Speaker #2

it either. Six months ago, I had almost no stink. I bought a couple shares of stink, and now I'm the smelliest guy in my neighborhood. I believe that. Here's the thing. If you don't invest in stink, inflation will outrun it.

Unknown Speaker #3

So, you must stink. You must stink.

Unknown Speaker #2

I just don't understand stuff like this at all.

Unknown Speaker #4

Do you like crypto? Because stink is the same as crypto. You can both mine your own stink and invest in other people's stink.

Unknown Speaker #3

Interesting. Yeah, I think just the boxers one more time.

Unknown Speaker #2

yeah, I appreciate the sell and what you guys are looking for. Okay, no problem. You're going to be poor. I

Unknown Speaker #4

Okay. And

Unknown Speaker #5

just don't really take my stink advice from, no offense. That's okay, yeah. Three lingerie salesmen on the side of the thing. Well, who do you take your stink advice from?

Unknown Speaker #3

Nobody, or if I need information,

Unknown Speaker #2

you know, I'll Google it. Wow,

Unknown Speaker #3

interesting.

Unknown Speaker #5

Okay, well, if you want to just leave your credit card on the table and run out, we'd be happy to exist. And

Unknown Speaker #3

we'll, of course, mail it back to you after we

Unknown Speaker #2

process

Unknown Speaker #3

the check. Wonderful. I actually, I use the Apple Pay, so I'll leave my whole phone and just feel

Unknown Speaker #5

free to tap that and mail it to me when you're done with it. Great, great. Actually, it looks like you have a text message here. Did you want to check it before you left it?

Unknown Speaker #3

Oh, no, because then I'll have to respond. And it's, well, let me actually, I'll check it real quick.

Unknown Speaker #7

Jing -a -ling -a -ling.

Unknown Speaker #3

Oh.

Unknown Speaker #2

Hello. Welcome in. Hey, how you doing? Good. So we got women's right there and men's and dogs over there in the corner.

Unknown Speaker #4

Okay, great. I'll be checking out the women's. Thank you.

Unknown Speaker #2

It's for my lady. Of course. As you know, Valentine's Day is in six months, and I just want to be ready. Great.

Unknown Speaker #4

Good. Well, yeah, let us know if you need anything. We're just finishing up with this gentleman here. Yeah, cool.

Unknown Speaker #2

He had just received a text message. I don't know if he wanted to read it or anything, but do you want to sell us what it is, or do you want to just keep that to yourself?

Unknown Speaker #3

You seem distraught. I'll tell you guys. Yes. My favorite TV show just got canceled.

Unknown Speaker #5

No. Wow. I'm so sorry. Oh, my God. Who texted you that?

Unknown Speaker #3

The woman I watch it with. My wife. Your wife. No. What? But just for your

Unknown Speaker #2

context, what you needed to know is that she's the woman I watch. Well, I did notice the text message. It came up as the woman I watch things with was the contact.

So that is your

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah.

wife. It's a cute little thing we do.

Unknown Speaker #2

That's cute. That is cute. And she's not crazy about it, but some cute bits you don't have to both like.

Unknown Speaker #3

Okay. And do you want to tell us what show it is or no? The TV show. You want to keep it to yourself or no? I'll tell you. Okay. The Simpsons. No. Really? They canceled The Simpsons? Why?

Unknown Speaker #2

I feel like that's just print money. Just keep going with it, right?

Unknown Speaker #3

Homer got canceled. Within. Wait.

Unknown Speaker #5

The actor who plays him or Homer himself?

Unknown Speaker #3

No.

Unknown Speaker #5

canceled. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker #2

Homer got

Within the show. Like out and about?

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah. In The

Unknown Speaker #2

Simpsons, Homer got canceled. Oh, my God.

Unknown Speaker #3

No. And so I guess they have to cancel the show because now Homer is kind of persona non grata. You can't put him in stuff. Right. He's going to have all the wrong kinds of

Unknown Speaker #2

fans and stuff like that. Can't they just replace him with a different voice?

Unknown Speaker #3

No.

Unknown Speaker #2

Homer

Unknown Speaker #3

got canceled. Dan Castellaneta, who plays Homer, is a very sweet man. I think it

Unknown Speaker #2

really has done anything. So they're just going to draw a different man that kind of looks like Homer?

Unknown Speaker #3

I think they canceled The Simpsons.

Unknown Speaker #7

You're right. You're right. You're right.

Unknown Speaker #3

You're right. Because Homer... I really just want this show to keep going with another character. We're using it canceled in two different ways. Homer did a bad

Unknown Speaker #7

thing in the world of The Simpsons.

Unknown Speaker #3

And now they can't follow that character anymore because of...

Unknown Speaker #7

Can they keep the house? Can they just keep the house?

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah. What if they sell the house? I know that you would be printing money if you could keep the property alive. But I

Unknown Speaker #7

think

Unknown Speaker #2

Homer did something that just is... You don't want that on The Simpsons. It was serious enough that they got to get rid of the house. They got to get rid of

Unknown Speaker #3

it all. Maybe you could build something around a character who hated Homer. What about Marge? She's part of the whole thing.

Unknown Speaker #2

Oh, no.

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah. No. Marge was involved? She was involved.

Unknown Speaker #2

Was it like a college scam or something?

Unknown Speaker #3

Look, I could... I'll text the woman I watched the show with.

Unknown Speaker #4

You're right. Which

Unknown Speaker #2

is correct. Hey, I'm sorry to bother you guys.

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah. Is this coming a Z cup?

Unknown Speaker #2

Oh, I don't think that's a thing. I think it's...

Unknown Speaker #4

Oh, yeah. No, you can get a Z cup. You can get a Z cup. It's the biggest cup they make. Do

Unknown Speaker #5

we...

Unknown Speaker #4

Right,

Unknown Speaker #2

but those are boxer shorts.

Unknown Speaker #4

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, but like a Z cup for

Unknown Speaker #2

the... I don't think boxers even at all come with dick sizes for the hog.

Unknown Speaker #4

All right. Well, I guess I'm in the wrong place.

Unknown Speaker #2

You might be. I mean, we could do something special for you. I mean, I'm seeing your bulge there. It's big.

Unknown Speaker #4

Yeah. Do you make... Do you need custom drawers? That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Unknown Speaker #2

We

Unknown Speaker #4

do need custom drawers. Okay. We have custom drawers if you want. Yeah, maybe you could take a Z cup off of one of the ladies lingerie.

Unknown Speaker #2

Once again, that's not a thing. Really? We can, like, measure you for your personal

Unknown Speaker #4

customized drawers. You know, that's... I knew it. I knew that wasn't a thing. This woman I've been dating, she was bragging the other

Unknown Speaker #2

night. Is it your wife?

Unknown Speaker #4

This woman I've been dating? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker #2

You guys got to call her your wife or simply by her name.

Unknown Speaker #4

Well, we've been dating for a long, long

Unknown Speaker #2

time. Right. And you're married? The third part of our relationship is dating.

You can't stop dating. Sir.

Unknown Speaker #4

Okay.

Unknown Speaker #7

I agree with you.

Unknown Speaker #4

Sir, I feel like you're lampooning a healthy relationship. You cannot stop dating. Okay. Because it's what keeps the relationship spicy. Right, right, right, right, right. Speaking of spicy, I do need a Z cup for my penis. Right, right. That is a

Unknown Speaker #2

spicy sentence, and that's okay. You don't have to feel

Unknown Speaker #4

ashamed. Thank you. I appreciate it. I figure we're in the right place. I mean, it's a

Unknown Speaker #2

roadside lingerie stand. Well, let us finish up with this man real quick, and then I'd be happy to measure you. We'll get you

Unknown Speaker #5

up on the stand back there. If you want to look through that catalog right there, that's where all of our custom drawers are.

Unknown Speaker #2

You can kind of sort of see materials, shapes, sizes, waistbands. Different waistbands. Yes, yes. Jinx.

Unknown Speaker #5

request a

Can

Unknown Speaker #4

I

Unknown Speaker #2

hand -free measure? He has to be quiet

Unknown Speaker #4

now. No, un -jinx or however you get rid of it. Thank you.

Unknown Speaker #5

Oh, my gosh. I thought I was going to have to shut up.

Unknown Speaker #2

Well, yeah. So, yeah. We were happy to mail you your phone back. And do you want to -

Unknown Speaker #3

I think I'm going to need to keep the phone. My woman that I watch The Simpsons with and I are really grieving together

Unknown Speaker #2

about this. Okay. Well, would you like us to pack up this lingerie in a discreet box? Just so you don't - I know it's a discreet thing. No, let's do broad. Okay. Broad. Broad, clear, showcase it.

Unknown Speaker #3

Yeah. It has a little song. I'd like people to ask questions. Okay, okay. Oh, a song. Yeah, it has a little song that goes, this is my lingerie. This is my life's lingerie. I bought my wife some lingerie. I'm headed home to use it. That's a beautiful song.

Unknown Speaker #2

We can also do one that's specific to what you purchased, which was boxers for your dog. Oh, right. Right. That would be the wrong song. We'd have to re -record real quick. But it's - I'm a

Unknown Speaker #5

musician, so I could do it in a heartbeat. Great.

Unknown Speaker #3

Two, three, four. These are the boxers for my dog. I want to see them on. These are the boxers for my dog. Silky and bright.

Unknown Speaker #4

Can you back off the mic just a little bit? You're just coming in a little hot.

Unknown Speaker #5

These are my boxers for my dog. These are my boxers for my dog. Wait, I forgot my words. Wait, these are the boxers

Unknown Speaker #2

for my dog. They are still - They make them look sexy and they're bright. Yep. Oh, you can use them. Do you want it clean? No. Do you want the song clean?

Unknown Speaker #5

No,

Unknown Speaker #2

this is great. Okay, good, great, great.

Unknown Speaker #5

Yeah. I'm actually out of tape, it looks like.

Unknown Speaker #2

No, no. We got plenty of

Unknown Speaker #5

tape. We got plenty of tape here. The man with the huge penis says we got

Unknown Speaker #4

plenty of

Unknown Speaker #2

He stepped behind here and kind of running the booth, which I appreciate because we don't really

Unknown Speaker #5

tape.

Unknown Speaker #4

know that. Oh, yeah. I'm an audio engineer. Well,

Unknown Speaker #2

I was 10 years ago. Oh,

Unknown Speaker #5

nice. Oh, okay. You never lose it.

Unknown Speaker #2

What happened? Were you

Unknown Speaker #4

canceled? I stopped. I stopped. I didn't like it.

no. You didn't like it. Oh, and I was canceled. You were canceled. That's so weird because Homer from The Simpsons was just canceled in the show.

Unknown Speaker #2

Oh,

I know. He was. Draw to the floor.

Unknown Speaker #4

Yes. What? Yes.

Unknown Speaker #2

I have signed so many petitions. The way he falls asleep at the nuclear plant.

Unknown Speaker #3

Right. Unsafe.

Unknown Speaker #4

Oh,

Unknown Speaker #3

true. Not a good example. It's actually really true. Oh, yeah. Totally. I disagree with you. I respectfully disagree, and I think we can have good disagreements in the same

Unknown Speaker #4

age. That's fine. I think that Homer. What are you wearing there, buddy? An A cup?

Unknown Speaker #3

We don't need to make it about

Unknown Speaker #4

this. You're wearing an A cup. I didn't even know there were cups for penises until I saw you coming in. But

Unknown Speaker #2

we have customized drawers if you want them.

Unknown Speaker #4

If there were, you'd be wearing an A cup.

Unknown Speaker #2

Well, we are actually doing buy one drawer, get one drawer free. So if you want two, we could just actually make you one, and

Unknown Speaker #4

he can take yours. Yeah, can you go in on it with a stranger? Yeah, we

Unknown Speaker #6

up half. I have cash. Do you have cash? Let me check.

Unknown Speaker #2

can just put

Unknown Speaker #4

That's a lot of coins.

Unknown Speaker #3

I have

Unknown Speaker #2

coin. You have coin.

Unknown Speaker #3

I have coin.

Unknown Speaker #2

Do you guys take coin? Which one? It depends. Which one?

Unknown Speaker #3

Oh, no. I have multiple coins. So I have quarter, and then many of them.

Unknown Speaker #2

That's a good way to say that. So you have one quarter and many other what type of coins? Quarter.

Unknown Speaker #5

I think what he's

Unknown Speaker #4

a

Unknown Speaker #2

trying to say is he has

bunch of quarters. Okay,

Unknown Speaker #4

okay, okay. Am I catching that? Uh -oh, I'm looking through your coins here. Do you think these are Sacagaweas? They're not. Really? These are arcade tokens.

Unknown Speaker #3

Oh, my God. Most of these are arcade tokens. I thought Sacagawea didn't look like Mario.

Unknown Speaker #4

These go to a premium arcade, though. That's good. That's good news.

Unknown Speaker #5

Oh,

Unknown Speaker #4

wait. Those are coins from premium arcade across the street? Yeah. Wow. Oh, a lot of coins.

Unknown Speaker #5

That's nice.

Unknown Speaker #3

Coin.

Unknown Speaker #4

No, sir. It is coins. Anything that's plural, you add the S.

Unknown Speaker #3

I'm sorry. I've double parked somebody. Okay. So I should get out of here.

Unknown Speaker #4

Yes, yes, yes. I'll tell you this. You double parked somebody? Yeah. There's nothing but spaces out there.

Unknown Speaker #3

We're not that busy. They pulled up by the only car

Unknown Speaker #4

parking lot and double parked them. It was the spot. I love efficiency. It was the most efficient way to get here. And I figured it would be in and out.

Unknown Speaker #2
