Bad Fitter
The other day I went to the only DD+ bra store within driving distance (Eveden brands only) to try on a strapless bra. I go in, I tell the woman what I want, she asks me if I know my size, and I tell her it's 30G.
She stares at me for a moment and then says: "No. Absolutely not".
I was shocked. She told me "you look much smaller than that" and asked if I was wearing one of their bras. I told her I was wearing a 30GG from a brand that runs slightly smaller (I was wearing the SM Bezyk, which does many great things for my breasts, but making them look smaller isn't one of them).
I humoured her and allowed her to bring a 32F for me to try (Fantasie Smoothing, the only strapless they carry). Since I insisted I like my bands tight, she also gave me a 30, but she mistakenly brought the 30E. The 32F was a complete and utter fail in both band and cups, yet she pronounced it "a perfect fit". She reluctantly agreed to bring another 30, I told her to bring the G because I needed a larger cup, and she explained that "it's called FF". Of course the 30FF was as bad in the cups as the 32F, and I even struggled to close the band because of this. Eventually she brought me the 30G, which fit really well. She looked and said "oh, you were right".
Lest I suspect that I was the only person she had this problem with, I heard her having the exact same conversation with another woman while I was in the fitting room- insisting the woman needed a smaller size than she requested, bringing her the wrong size, then bringing her the size she'd requested in the first place, and being surprised when it fit.
The good news is, after such crap service I feel no guilt about ordering it online for half the price.

Oh yes, feel no guilt :)
I hope the fitter lady learned something important that day!!!
That woman is a moron. I wonder how many more times she'll need to have this experience before she starts to get it?
