What Victoria's Secret Workers Think When Men Walk Into The Store
Daniel Goodman for Business Insider
"The general feeling about men is that they would buy anything in order to get out of the store as quickly as possible," the worker, who wished to remain anonymous, told us. "That means they would spend more money."
While workers tell women about promotions like 5 for $25 panties, they are more likely to sell men full-priced merchandise, the worker said.
"Women are more value-oriented, and so we were encouraged to show them deals," she said. "Men would buy a couple of $50 bras without questioning us because they felt awkward."
The competitive landscape in stores meant that associates would often fight over male customers.
Victoria's Secret managers use headsets to communicate with workers and encourage them to make sales goals.
"We would always be reminded of how much we needed to sell, and so when a man walked in, it felt like a lucky break," she said.
The founder of Victoria's Secret created the company as a place where men could buy lingerie for their wives without feeling awkward.
