The Teenage Customer called into Gamma Garments one day in December 1963, wanting to purchase a pair of size 9 plain seamless stockings. Emily Nugent was having problems coping on her own in the shop while Leonard Swindley was at head office and Myra Booth stepped behind the counter to help her. She proved a natural in the role, selling the bewildered girl two pairs of the fancy-weave range, by convincing her that one pair was a false economy and that the fancy-weave ones would make her a sensation at her Christmas party and lead to her having a wedding ring on her finger, such as the one she wore. Reducing the total price by 4d from the asking price of 9/10, Myra grabbed the cash from her and gave her the change before she could argue.
