Store Clerk
I don'think you understood the question. Keep in mind that Ramona only has been in the store a total of five times spread out over a year and she never stays in the store long enough. She gets her stuff, pays and leaves. Re-read the story again. The part of your answer that bothers me is "but I also think the guy likes her looks to have noticed at all."
STORY: Ramona and the store clerk are the two people in the story. Ramona came in and purchased her garlic tablets. However, on the way out she asked the clerk how much should one take. The clerk said to her that most women should weigh a 160, however, she weighs a little less so she can take less. The little less bothered her so she asked him to clarify what he thought she weighs and he said 130. She replied you don't know what I look like and he remarked that I see you come in here. Telling her that he thought she weighed 130 upset her because everyone always tells her that she looks like she weighs 110 or less. Also keep in mind that he wasn't facing her when he said this and there was a partition blocking his view of her so all he saw was her face and neck. What do you think? Should Ramona be bent out of shape about this or should she say "He didn't see me at all and just threw out a number" Also keep in mind that she has only been in the store a total of five times spreadout over the year even though the clerk said that he sees her come into the store. And those five times she got her stuff, paid and left - never stayed long. Thank you for all your help in advance
KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING: (1) RAMONA WAS WEARING A COAT WHEN SHE CAME INTO THE STORE THAT DAY (2) LATER ON WHEN THE CONVERSATION TOOK PLACE SHE WAS STANDING BEHIND A PARTITION ALL THE CLERK COULD SEE WAS HER NECK AND FACE (3) ALSO KEEP IN MIND EVERY ONE ALWAYS TELLS RAMONA SHE IS THIN/SKINNY, WEIGHS NO MORE THAN 110 POUNDS

Ramona should read the directions on the bottle of pills and not ask questions store clerks aren't qualified to answer in the first place. As to her weight, not everyone is good at guessing weight. Being 20 off is no big deal. I'm sure the coat did it, but I also think the guy likes her looks to have noticed at all.

I understood the story. How many times she comes in doesn't matter. The store clerk would have seen her when she entered that day and through any security mirrors in the store. The only time that counts is the this time. Plus some people are mistaken for others. Or the clerk could just have a good memory.
