[Scene: Bloomingdale’s, Rachel’s new job.]
Rachel: (on the phone) Monica, I’m quitting! I just helped an 81 year old woman put on a thong and she didn’t even buy it! (Pause) I’m telling you I’m quitting! That’s it! I’m talking to my boss right now! (Pause) Yes I am! (Pause) Yes I am! Yes Iam! Yes I am! Yes I am! Yes I am! Okay bye, call me when you get this message.(Hangs up as her boss, Mr. Waltham, walks in.) Oh! Mr. Waltham, I ah really need to talk to you.
Mr. Waltham: In a moment, please, I’m in the middle of a task. And you have a customer.
(It’s a really good-looking man, Joshua,that Rachel has an instant crush on. Well actually it’s Tate Donovan, so it’s not like she’s really testing her acting skills.)
Rachel: Hi!
Joshua: Hi,I’m Joshua.
Rachel: Hi,I’m Rachel Green. What can I do for you Joshua?
Joshua:Well, I need a whole new wardrobe. My wife, well my ex-wife…
Rachel: Oh,I’m so sorry.
(He walks over to look at some clothes and Rachel quickly turns around and adjusts her bra, trying to show off her assets.)
Joshua:Anyway, she burned all of my clothes. I got away with two things. This suit and what turned out to be a skirt.
Rachel:Well, at least that’s a great suit.
Joshua:Yeah, but it wasn’t much fun dropping it off at the dry cleaners in the skirt.(Rachel laughs) So I need everything down to underwear, so if you’re willing,I’m all yours.
Rachel: Okay.
Mr. Waltham:Rachel, you needed to speak to me?
Rachel:No-no, that wasn’t me! (To Joshua) Well, we should get started. Let me show you my underwear. (Joshua turns at that) The selection of underwear we carry.
(He walks out and Rachel stares at his butt as he leaves. He makes a wrong turn.)
Rachel:Oh-oh, sorry, it’s this way, it’s this way. (Motions to the correct way.)
Joshua: It’s this way? Sorry. (He walks past her and she again admires his butt.)
A personal shopper is a person who helps others shop by giving advice and making suggestions. They are often employed by department stores and boutiques, although some are freelance or work exclusively online.Their focus is usually on clothes,although the number of non-clothing stores – such as furniture retailers – that offer personal shopping services is on the rise.
There are no formal educational requirements to become a personal shopper, though most outlets recommend related retail experience.
