    So the woman can’t see if the salesman is diddling himself while leering hungrily at her exposed ankle?

    Didn’t the woman care about how the shoe looked on her? The device seems to also block the view for her.

    Definitely wasn’t inventing gloryholes and had to come up with an alternative explanation when the boss walked in. We’ve all been there.

    This is 100% way more reasonable that letting women put their own shoes.

      It’s not being executed, just humiliated in front of all the other feet.

      The other feet can like throw socks at it or something.

    Is this a new requirement from the US government for shoe stores or is this about history? I’m really unsure

    Walking around to test the shoes was almost impossible, but usually gathered a little crowd to cheer the lassie on.

        No, I think they meant “this is most likely an AI hallucination, NOT something that actually existed.”
