But actually, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Indeed, retail workers at Victoria’s Secret are more likely to flock to men entering the store.
But why is this?
As it turns out, the reason has a lot to do with the store’s initial mission statement.
Victoria’s Secret was founded by Connecticut-born Roy Larson Raymond in the late 1970s (viaAll Famous).
The inspiration behind this decision was actually based on his own experiencebuying lingeriefor his wife.
He would often find himself deeply uncomfortable, and even felt criticized by the saleswomen for simply being there.
“They’ll pull up a picture and zoom in on her boobs.
I can have a pretty good idea, but I’ll ask them to compare it to a fruit.
‘Are they like apples, oranges, cantaloupes, watermelon?'”
That means they would spend more money."
Men would buy a couple of $50 bras without questioning us because they felt awkward."
