I have not been in a dressing stall for many years. But remember well this First World “problem”. 😀
Barbara – 🙂 Yes, the choice/superfluity inherent in these labels — indeed, in having rooms in which to try things on at all — is a luxury.
As a marketing manager, I would not give a third option. Tomorrow is like saying, “I’ll call you….”
Barbara – I get it, and that’s part of why it’s so good. They use a “soft no” label to allow for the reality that not everything you try on will suit.
Barbara – Maybe you found it hanging in a tree . . .
What an innovative yet simple way of catering to customers!
Judith – IKR? Clever – it’s cheap (I expect), or relatively so, and yet it adds a lot of value.
Genius. And so simple. I see that I organize my life that way, but my “tomorrow” category may be somewhat delusional.
Laurna – Hahaha. Yes, I expect the time-management gurus use something similar for tasks/activities. Not a bad construct. And “tomorrow” is so much gentler than “not a chance” even though the latter might be more honest.
Wow! Just realized how long it’s been since I’ve been in a try-on room. They don’t have fitting rooms at Costco.

Tom – Interesting, because Costco does sell clothes. The highlight of my career in other languages was learning how to ask for a change-room in German on a trip through there in 1970.
It’s almost as good as the linen company that thought to attach labels (i.e., ‘short end’) to their fitted sheets, thus solving another ‘first world’ problem.
Mary – 🙂 Barring that labelling innovation, I think all sheets should come with length-wise stripes. Maybe I’ll petition my MP.
