Ah maternity clothes...how I have not missed you...
I went to Old Navy to pick up some new maternity wear, since the clothes you need for a Texas pregnancy vs. one in Montana overlap for approximately 10 minutes. Here's the scene in the fitting room, as I'm looking at a pair of jeans in the 3-way mirror:
Salesperson: "Those look really cute on you."
Me: "Thanks...I don't feel cute in much of anything these days."
Salesperson: "Yeah, it will be better when you get bigger. Right now you just look fat."
Apparently Old Navy is going with a new brutal honesty sales tactic? ("If I look fat and the jeans still look cute, I definitely need to buy them...")

Wow, that is an awesome sales technique! So flattering and sweet! I bet you look cute, not fat!

You should forward this post to Old Navy....maybe a whole new line of edgy advertising would evolve...you just have to wonder about some people....
