How can I help?

It's a Wednesday afternoon and I am just about ready to start the long process of closing up the store when two ladies wander in. I let them know quite pleasantly that I will be closing the store soon, they accept this equally pleasantly (not like the blokes that come in the store and get crapped off if they think they can't get their porn)
After five minutes of watching the women walk around the store I go and ask them if I can help, one of the ladies says she is looking for a couple of dvd's in particular. I ask if she knows the titles of said videos, meanwhile I am almost fainting as she is wearing the most cloying perfume, actually I don't think she is wearing it, I think it is wearing her!!!!!!! She doesn't know the title, but the picture on the front has two guys on it. Oh goody, we have narrowed it down to about 300 possible choices now, the other one has a picture of a woman sitting on a bed........oh even better, that narrows it down to about 1000 choices, plus the other 300 choices of the first one. The brick wall out the back is looking exceeding more inviting than the prospect of looking through every single dvd on the shelf (of which there are about 4000) I tell the lady that it doesn't sound familiar (the guy one) and that the other one could be one of about a million, perhaps if she can find the title of the movie? I finally leave her to keep searching through the multitudes of dvd's and finish closing up the shop. Five minutes past closing time and I very nicely ask the ladies to leave, locking the front door behind them, then scraping myself up off the floor gasping and coughing whilst trying in vain to draw breath into my lungs that isn't contaminated with that god awful perfume!
All in a days work really :)
