Talking Shop(ping)


Not-so-secret shopper? Practicing (or reformed) retail sales clerk?

Los Angeles magazine wants to hear from you. Style Director Laurie Pike has crafted a pair of nifty little quizzes for shoppers and retail workers on her Chic Leak blog. The information will be published in the September issue of the magazine.

I’m an opinionate shopper and I took the consumer quiz. And, since I clocked a lot of hours in my younger years as a retail sales associate, I took the retailer quiz, too.

It takes a few minutes—and it’s anonymous. You can clear your conscience of your shopping sins. Or just clear the air about what you really think about that regular customer and how she looks in that dress.
