I just went to buy new lingerie at Boux Avenue Oxford. I am handicapped and walk with a cane.
The nice staffer took me to the upstairs dressing rooms because the handicapped room on the downstairs was occupied. There was no chair so they gave me a footstool. I got a good fitting, and they staffer brought me a bra, which I liked.
I wanted to buy more, and chose some, and I waited for the downstairs dressing room to open, even sitting outside it for awhile, on a footstool.
But though a number of non-handicapped people used it in succession, speaking Russian with a saleslady who was helping me, they never offered it to me. I was there for an hour with friends who were buying lingerie.
I asked why it was not offered to me, and a downstairs saleslady said the room was used to training. I asked why they used the handicapped room for training, and she said, because it’s bigger.
I am curious: What are they training the people to do, in Russian? It almost seemed like a scene from a spy novel.
The other staff apologized.
This is a practical issue. Going up and downstairs with lingerie and different sizes is not workable for many handicapped people, or even possible.
I needed to buy a bunch of new lingerie, but I can buy it somewhere else.
I’ll never go to Boux Avenue again.
