I Know it is not a good idea to repost but I think the way I wrote the original post I did
not write clearly for people to understand what I was trying to ask. So here goes (THE
STORY IS THE SAME: Today at work my friend Ginny (who is thin and 5 feet 6 inches
tall) helped Sharon (a customer who is around 5 feet tall). Sharon told Ginny that Sharon
liked the shoes Ginny is wearing and Ginny has big feet not small feet like Sharon due to
the fact Sharon has to shop for shoes in the kids department. HERE IS WHAT I AM
ADDING: Ginny is scared that in the future Sharon will say oh I like that article of
clothing you are wearing, it is a big size I have to shop in the childrens department.
Everyone tells Ginny this will not happen. KEEP IN MIND GINNY IS A SIZE 6 IN
SHOES AND CLOTHES. MY QUESTION: IS Ginny being fearful for no reason; and
when Sharon comes in how can Ginny avoid Sharon or stop Sharon from saying anything.
Should Ginny just say directly to her; Please lets just keep this professional and not talk
about anything personal, like give compliments or anything of that nature.
Why would Ginny want to avoid a customer based on the customer's clothing size? That's being discriminatory somehow, isn't it? [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]

Ginny is being fearful for no reason. If she tries to avoid a customer, she will probably get in trouble at her job. Ginny should instead maybe compliment Sharon to distract her.
Ginny should not say "let's keep this professional" because that will come off as extremely rude. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
