So the couple came back (the one from last post) to return the vibrator they bought from me last night. They claimed it didn't vibrate properly after they used it. So I put my rubber gloves on and tested the toy with batteries from our shop. No surprise, the toy worked fine. The guy still wanted to return it. I had to get my boss to explain that since the toy worked fine, we couldn't take it back. To calm him down she gave him a free mini bottle of lubricant. He still ended up buying the vibrator that he wanted to buy last night. And of course, she payed for it.
I just hope he doesn't try to use it for anal

Sex Safety vs. Financial Santiy (and anal sex!)
Sex toys can be expensive, I'm not the first one in this industry to admit it. I get customers every day (some in the store this very minute) rolling their eyes and groaning over the price of the toys they are looking at. People come in with a set idea of how much they want to spend, like a supermarket, sometimes with lists and set items that they are going to buy and leave with much lighter wallets, also like a supermarket. The reason that many sex toys are so pricy is due to quality.
You may be reading this thinking "Hey! My sex toys weren't expensive! What the heck is she talking about?" Look at the packages your toys come in. Do they have ingredients? No? Research the material that your toy is, and what cheap chemicals are going into it. Many sex toy companies thrive off of cheap toys because they get away with it all too easily. Some people are embaressed about buying toys, so they will just grab whatever is being sold, and not think to research the product any further. People that do look into products and ingredients are often aware that sex toys that tend to be a bit more costly happen to be higher quality. When I say costly, I don't mean hundreds of dollars. Many high quality toys can be between $15-$20, which is still a lot more than their cheaper counter parts that can be found for around five bucks.
My work is one of the few proud sex stores that actually look into their products and the materials that go into them. We only sell high grade quality toys, which means no toxic chemicals, or gross jelly ingredients. Our silicone is %100, and our plastics are medical grade. Yes, this makes them a few dollars more, but we'd rather sell a fifty dollar toy and go to sleep at night knowing our products are poisening our customers than sell things quickly and cheaply.
It amazes me how much people will sacrifice health for an extra dollar. Mind you, I understand eating cheaper food and trying to pay as little as possible for clothes. As an avid thrift store shopping and dumpster diver, I do my best to try not to waste money. Yet, when it comes to sex toys and sexual health, trying to be cheap can be harmful to ones health. Note: this is not me condemning anyone who can't afford expensive sex toys. This is me wagging my finger at people being stubborn and putting themselves at risk when they can afford a better option. I hope I am conveying my thoughts correctly.
This couple came in today that was a pure example of how frustrating some people can be in this area. After browsing and asking questions, the guy asks me if I knew anything about orgasms and anal sex. I ask if he wants to know about male or female, and he says both. Lovely! I love couples who are open to anal exploration, as a sex educator and perv, it brings me glee. I start explaining how to find the g-spot anally for her, and about prostate stimulation for him. The guy then holds up a bullet vibrator and tells me he is going to buy it for this purpose. Alarm bells start going off in my head. When exploring anal play, you MUST use a toy that has a flair or flanged base. The anus can always contract at any moment, and if you are using a toy that doesn't have a wide base, the toy gets sucked right up.
This is "The Big End" by Platinum toys. See how it's base is wider than the neck of the toy? This ensures that it will not get sucked up and lost in your body. 
This is "The Little Chroma" by JimmyJane. See how there is no flare, and how it is a straight line? Imagine what would happen if you put this in your butt and then your muscles contract and you loose your grip. That readers, is a pleasant trip to the hospital for you.
I explain this all to the couple. Apparently the woman already knew this, and been telling him that the $18 toy he wanted to get was not safe to use, but he was determined since it was our cheapest toy. I showed him similar toys, but since they were all about ten dollars more, he refused. He them picked out a similar toy that had a longer handle, stating that if he held a good grip on it, nothing bad could happen. I explain to him that it isn't worth risking the trip to the hospital, and his response was that if it did get sucked into his butt, he could just use lube and dig it out. Umm....really? I again told him that there is still the possibility that he would need to go to the emergency room. His lady friend was telling him this too, but he kept shutting us both down.
In the end they still bought something not entirelly anal safe (it was a vibrator with a long handle that slightly bulged out, not built for anal play) but more safe than what he wanted. Since it was a few dollars more, the woman paid for the whole thing. The guy even stopped me from running the card to make sure she didn't want to think again about getting something cheaper. She looked like she was ready to smack him.
The moral of the story here is don't sacrifice your sexual health, expecially your anus, for saving a few bucks. There are better things to be thrifty about.

Friday shift
Late night shift on a Friday, a middle aged couple comes in. Wide-eyed and mouths open, they ask how new the business is. When I tell them we opened three years ago, they look even more stunned and ask each other how they could have missed us. This is not an unusual occurrence, we are a subtle store so not everyone knows about us. After a little browsing the woman asks me if pocket rockets are the most popular item we sell. "Okay", I think, "this lady knows a little bit about vibrators, awesome. Helping her may be a little smoother if I don't have to introduce her to every single item we sell."
Wrong assumption. I get to walk her through every single toy we own, answering all her itty bitty questions. Yay....
Okay, I know I am being over sensitive, but this woman bugged me. She constantly asked me, while holding up an item, if people "actually used this." I gotta tell you, common sense, if we are selling it, people use it. So yes, people use masturbation sleeves, yes people use glass toys, etc. I think what really annoyed me was that she kept using the excuse that she's "from a small town". She used this excuse like 10x in my interaction with her. Her husband even used it.
But how can being from a small town be an excuse when your buying vibrating anal beads?

Annoying a Sex Shop Worker
Things that you (the customer) do that annoy me (the sex shop worker):
-You open packages and pull out the items. Seriously, why? I understand the need to see the product before buying it, which is why we have display items for that very reason, so that you can hold and touch them. Therefore, the need to open packages is eliminated. But no, you continue to open things, even after I ask you not to. How would you feel if someone put their dirty hands all over your vibrator? It's not fair to whoever is going to buy it after you've touched it.
-You try to return porn after I have explained that we have a no return policy on porn We say it when you purchase the porn, it is stated on your receipt, and I am telling you again. There is a no return policy on porn. I'm sorry if it wasn't to your standards, or you didn't like the plot, but we cannot take back your porn.
-You demand to speak to the owner when you don't like what you hear Maybe I told you we have a no return policy, maybe I said that a class you wanted to attend is full. Whatever the issue, you demand to speak with my boss, who by the way will tell you the EXACT same thing. Perhaps you feel superior asking for my supervisor, maybe it makes you feel better. It's annoying, and you will hear the exact same thing I just said.
-You are being vague and secretive about what you are asking me about I get that sex can be scary and embarrassing. I get it. That is why I am here, to help you figure out what will be best for you. So please be blunt, and not vague. Referring to "something" for women doesn't really help me. Did you mean lingerie? A book? A dildo? Throw me a bone please and not make this a guessing game.
-You attempt to make me uncomfortable This happens more than you think. Maybe you are nervous so you want to make your date laugh, or you are really uncomfortable and want me at your level. For whatever reason, stop trying to make me uncomfortable with your crude jokes, inappropriate question, and flirtatious gestures. Yes, I do see you with a dildo at your crotch, waving it at me while your girlfriend/buddy laughs. I will smile politely, but inside I am shoving that thing up your ass while you cry.
-You don't put things back in their proper place We have pillows for you to put display items on. Everything is labeled. So why do I need to go searching for items every time you come in? It causes me to panic because I assume if it's not in it's proper place, it's been shop lifted.
-You leave vibrators on Probably my biggest pet peeve. You turn on toys, and then walk away. Maybe you forgot, or maybe you are just an ass. These things are shaking and moving, and they weren't before, so make them stop. It is also very damaging to the toy if it falls off the shelf due to it being left on. The battery also dies out. It is really simple, turn off toys after you have turned them on. If perhaps you can't figure out how to turn it off, ask me! It is not embarrassing, it happens!

The parents are gone, party time!
This week the owners of the store are at a Las Vegas sex toy convention. Which means that lil' ol' me is on my own for the next few days. So while the owners go away, the sex shop workers get to play!
Actually, no. I have a BUNCH of cleaning and organizing to do. My hands are covered in lube from re-lubing all the latex clothing, I am covered in dust from dusting off packages. This place is going to be spic n' span when the owners returns (hopefully with free schwag!)
Customers totally have been AMAZINGLY amusing.
-Middle aged friendly guy with glasses comes in after opening and chirps on about how much product we carry. He buys the new Aneros Vice. This anal toy is the first vibrating Aneros, which is well know prostate massager. While I am wrapping it up it occurs to me that he may not know how to turn the vibrator on (it needs to be held down in a certain area for a few seconds and then tapped to change function). I ask him if he knows how to use it, and he starts laughing that he has no idea. I show him and he leaves giggling that he almost bought a toy that he had no clue how to use.
-Tiny, tiny (like 3ft) old lady comes in and sweetly asks if she can wait in the store until the library opens. She is adorable, I want to put her in my pocket.
-Couple comes in. They are obviously doing a sexual game, where the girl dressed the guy up in female clothing and is parading him around town. I figure this out because the guy is in full girl clothing, including wig, and keeps his head down and shifts back and forth in his outfit awkwardly, and while looking a butt plugs says "you made me wear this outfit, don't make me say it (anal plug) out loud." They spend a long time in the kink section, and the girl buys her partner a red sparkly collar to wear. He refers to her as "Master", which confirms my suspicions that this is some sort of sexy game that they are playing (they also confirm this with me later). I am SUPER jealous of his outfit, it is amazing. Also, sexy gender fucking games make me happy.
-Guy comes in to get change for parking. Apparently he didn't know it was a sex shop and makes this surprised "Wah!" noise. His partner, who is pregnant, comes in to see what the noise was about. She is also thrown aback that he walked into a sex shop. I give him change and they walk around the store in awe, and he asks me about a cock pump that we sell.
-Young girl buys a guide to pregnancy for lesbians. She is shy when talking to me.
-Women come in asking for a vibrator that connects to an Ipod. They buy the club vibe, a three function vibrator. It vibrates like a regular toy, or you can connect it to an Ipod or Iphone and it will vibrate to the base of the music, or you can put it on "club mode" and it will vibrate to any surround noise. Kinda nifty, no?
-The older guy with glasses from earlier in the day comes back in and buys a Njoy stainless steel plug.
-Young couple looks at vibrators together. Actually, a few young couples do, all in a row, and leave.
-Woman comes in and examines our cock rings. She buys the C-Spot vibrator made by Good Vibrations.
-Couple comes in with a stroller and a baby. I wonder if my parents ever brought me somewhere naughty before I could remember?
-Friend of mine comes in. She is wearing a shirt for "Book of Mormon", the new Broadway musical by the makers of South Park. I am super jealous and giddy that she got to see it (it's only showing in New York).
-Two women ask me about harnesses. They buy the Spareparts Harness, which is our current top seller, and the acute dildo in purple, with a matching purple vibrating bullet.
-A group of 30 something year olds come in to laugh at the products. One guy buys a gag ball "as a joke". I ignore them as they mock our anal section. Bleh.
-Two older guys and a woman come in. One guy asks me if we have any chocolate penises. He then grabs a dildo, straps it around his neck and starts walking around the store saying "this is how men should be designed." The other guy who is looking at masturbation sleeves tells me I have a beautiful smile.
Aaaand let's end with that.

Rainy Weekend
This weekend the weather has been freakin' nuts at the shop! Yesterday at opening there was snow/hail (or as my friends call it, "snail") and then at closing we had a blackout. Luckily the intense weather has not deterred anyone from coming in, which can be a problem with crazy rainstorms.
This morning the weather seems to have calmed down.
-Right away two young ladies come in and shop around a little bit. They buy a seven speed g-spot vibrator, and our newest dildo, The Platinum. This dildo has bee selling like hotcakes, probably because it's simple and super affordable ($39.95).
-Big guy with curly hair and sunglasses asks me if we sell condoms. He buys lifestyles snugger fit condoms.
-Regular "visitor" (not really a customer since she never buys anything) comes in, circles the store, and then leaves. She does this every few days.
-Couple comes in to ask me if the library is open. They continue to leave and come back every few minutes, and them settle in our book corner reading to each other. I am calculating how long until I need to ask them to leave. Unlike a library, we can't have people sitting, reading books all day, since we intend to sell them. Also, people tend to dirty the books up and fold the pages, which make them harder to sell.
After around 40 minutes they get up and look at cock rings.
They leave.
-Young couple asks me about our most popular vibrators. The guy is very responsive to my advice and is obviously very into getting something. The girl is more reserved, and is hesitant to touch things when I display them. They leave without buying anything.
-Guy in bright yellow jacket walks in and out
-Two middle aged women come in, talking about things they have bought here before. They buy two tester packets of lube. They come back a half hour later and buy some leather cuffs.
-Man buys some Yes lubricant, the only FDA certified "organic" lubricant.
-Some friends drop by, but leave since the store is busy and I am working by myself. Gotta keep an eye on everyone!
-The couple from earlier (with the shy girl) comes back in and picks up a We-Vibe in red.
-A couple from Sacramento buys a tri-o cock ring, and a clit pump. They are very friendly and adorable to talk to.
-Apparently there is a big surfing convention in our town this weekend, hence all the tourists. The convention building is across the street. I like meeting all the tourists and hearing about the sex shops from their areas.
-Hot goth/punk chick asks me about pricing on leather cuffs. She is adorable and I think I fall in love for a minute.
-Jackass dude has a lady friend on speaker phone and is turning on toys and dropping them. He takes pictures of them and asks loud, obnoxious questions about vibrators. He asks me for what the best cheap one is, telling me he "ain't ever bought one before" (terrible grammar is a major turn off for me). He keeps calling his lady friend and making loud comments, like "Ugh! The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men!" (A book we carry) I can't wait for him to leave, and as he is walking out he keeps picking everything up and making annoying comments. Bleh.
-Woman comes in asking about "that vibrator that looks like a Pokemon". I knew that she was talking about the Form 2 by Jimmy Jane. She seemed very exited about it, especially since it is so quiet, yet so powerful. She gets one in black, and tells me if she had more money, she'd buy some for her friends.
Okay, that's it for today!
