What happened in Boston stays here

I came down with Covid in June, so we had to postpone my birthday trip until July. I love Boston for its food and so does my husband. I love Boston for its shopping, unlike my husband. My favorite stores are there, especially Saks Fifth Avenue, now going through bankruptcy issues. Happy to report that the 4 I visit won’t close. Anyway, as soon as we walked into the Boston Saks, I became a bit disoriented for each Saks is arranged differently. A woman called Doe immediately offered her help and walked us to the Chanel department. I chose a purse to hold until later, because I wanted to go to the Chanel Boutique to see what they had. Doe asked me if I needed anything else in the store, and I told her that I was going up to the shoe department. She beat us up there and was waiting for us. My husband didn’t like some of the shoes, so as we were about to leave, the shoe salesman told me they had a sale rack. Doe followed me. The only shoes I liked didn’t come in my size, but Doe found them for me. Nice and half price! We went to the Chanel Boutique, which had the same bag and another one that my husband didn’t like. No shoes in my size and the ones available didn’t fit well. Bummer! We went back to Saks and there was Doe! Bought the bag and that was that. However, after breakfast and some shopping the next day, hubs and I parted company to do our own shopping. I returned to Saks and actually snuck around to Chanel. I had forgotten to look at sunglasses. I had already chosen a white pair that I desperately needed when Doe appeared. Since I also wanted a pair of new black sunglasses, she helped me find gorgeous ones. I then saw the same bag that my husband disliked and asked to see it. Loved it! When the salesperson told me that for $200 more, I could get the next size. I couldn’t resist I thanked Doe for her help, but she followed me to the makeup counter! While I was being helped, she ran to another counter to get me some white eyelash stuff. I couldn’t remember the exact name, but knew who made it. She just asked for the white eyelash stuff and ran back with it. She helped me to the door with my huge bags and off I went without looking at my receipts. That’s another story, but as annoying as Doe was, she was very helpful. I’m sure she worked on commission, but this was the first time this ever happened to me. Photo is mine of hubs
