Overheard…in the Bergdorf Goodman Fur Salon

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  


Behold a delicious exchange heard at our favorite service-oriented retailer over the weekend. Names have been changed to protect the innocent…
BG Sales Associate: Right this way, Mrs. X. Giorgio will be happy to help you.
Mrs. X to Giorgio: Giorgio, I need someone to come to my building on Wednesday before noon to pick up my furs for storage. Before noon.
Giorgio: Certainly, madam. We’ll be happy to do that free of charge.
Mrs. X: Before noon, Giorgio.
Giorgio: Understood, madam. Which address?
Mrs. X: Park Avenue.
Giorgio: Certainly. And about how many furs will we be picking up?
Mrs. X: Oh, I have no idea. There’s the mink…the chinchilla…the fox…the other mink…about six or seven.
