8″ Memory Foam Mattress – King

Thursday, August 9, 2012

“Bedroom furniture duty, huh?” Jimmy had been waiting for the right time to strike up a conversation with the new girl for days. She was the most exciting thing to happen to Ruttles since last year’s White Sale, and he wanted to make a good first impression. “Get ready for the most boring eight hours of your life.”

Lisa smirked as she pinned her name tag to her shirt. “I guess Maurice felt I needed some time away from the hustle and bustle of Home Decor.”

Look her in the eye, Jimmy told himself. Remember what the self-help books said. Smile. Relax. Be helpful and fun. “Well, no matter how bored you get, don’t let him catch you sitting on any of the displays. You’ll never hear the end of it. Oh, and it’s always good to focus on the comfort aspect of these memory foam mattresses. Play up the medium supportive firmness, the velour cover, and the way the foam lets cool air displace warm air. And don’t forget to tell them that you’ll give them two contour pillows with the purchase, too. That’s what customers want to hear about. Just a few pro-tips from me to you,” he said, throwing her a thumbs up before he realized what he was doing. PRO-TIPS?! THUMBS UP?!  YOU IDIOT, YOU LOOK LIKE A…

Lisa laughed. “Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. It’s Jimmy, right?”

Jimmy nodded. He hadn’t screwed up? How did that happen? Maybe she liked him! Maybe she found his slight social stumble charming! 

“Jimmy, I don’t date co-workers.”

Oh.

“We can go out for coffee,” she continued, “maybe even get a beer together every once in a while, but I won’t date you or anyone else who works here ever. Also, please don’t immediately march into Maurice’s office and quit just to be cute, because that’ll only make you look like a doofus.”

“Has that happened to you before?”

Lisa shrugged. “Once or twice, yeah. Now then, do you feel better? More relaxed?”

Jimmy thought for a moment. “Yeah. Yeah, I do.”

“Good!” Lisa said. “Because you seem nice and I could always use more friends. Now then, Jimmy, how is it you know so much about selling these mattresses?”

Without fear or any hint of self-consciousness, Jimmy pointed to a plaque hanging on the wall above a mahogany bedroom set display. It read: Most Twin-sized Memory Foam Mattresses Sold In 24 Hours – James Greenwood.

“Huh,” she said. “Jimmy, I think this may be the start of a beautiful friendship.”
