Another of my memories from when I was around 11. I would ride my bike to the local Hallmark gift and greeting card shop. There was a young lady (college age) who worked there. She always seemed to be working when I went. I loved her because she wore very sexy shoes. Most were platform and had wedge heels.
On this particular occasion, I had gone with the intent of sticking baseball cards under ladies’ shoes with two-sided tape so I could watch them walk on/crush them. Unfortunately (or so I thought at first) she was working on the greeting card displays on the aisle where I had the most success since it was furthest from the register.
I could not get anything crushed because she was up and down this small three-step ladder, restocking the card racks. She was wearing a pair of wedge heel Famolare sandals with a high heel. I edged closer as she was standing up on the ladder looking for refills. I was thrilled to see a price tag sticking out from her left heel. Apparently, she had stepped on it during the day and had been walking on it (much to my delight).
When there was no one else on the aisle, I slid a finger near her shoe and then under the sole when she raised up to reach a higher shelf. She stepped down with just a little weight and then went back up on her toes. I slid it a little further under and this time she crushed right onto my finger. She stood there for a moment and then started down the ladder. She noticed me standing so close and said “May I help you?” in a fairly accusing tone. I’m sure I was bright red and stuttered “I was trying to get the sticker off your shoe.” Happily, she completely relaxed and said: “Thanks anyway but it happens all the time, besides, I could step on your poor finger and not even know it.” As I recall, I couldn’t speak.
When she went back up, I was right beside her and she glanced down a time or two but then got lost in her work. She trod on my finger three or four more times before I had to get home.
There will be more experiences from this store at a later date!
