Grateful For Small Mercies
Thankfully, the customer's black socktops are visible above her upper bootrims, so I don't have to speculate as to what type of socks she has on inside her boots. I can also be fairly certain her black socks will be warm and sweaty inside those heavy boots. As a public footservant, I should be grateful for such small mercies as I lickshine the outsides of her boots.
