As asked ......."Did the medium fit?" Dress pant are tailored differently than regular pants. Some of the darts and seams are sewn to make the wearer appear smaller or slimmer than they are. After trying on the Medium size 8 slacks, were you able to bend down, do jumping jacks or do a split?
If you did not try on the pants, because you were not require to, then the Manager was not being a jerk. (Remember, jerk is an opinion, not a fact. Reports are to contain facts). It looked like the Manager was looking at the subject (YOU) and evaluating his "size" opinion, on what he saw. You apparently "looked" like you might need a larger size or a "plus size", in which they do not carry. That is probably why he handed you over to another employee.
Sometimes when we take time off from "Our" normal routine we expand. You were taking care of Miles and watching him grow. Now you are ready to get out there to do "Financial life things". You knew this shop sales European fit and style clothing. The style and fit might be different from yours, although maybe in the pre-Miles stage you were able to fit size 8/medium.
I broke up your Post b/c I saw that as being the part I was responding to. Don't take the Manager insense as being harsh or jerky. You did not state the gender of either employee so to say this is male versus this is female, does not change what was said and how you interpret it.
This is just an opinion, not meant to sound argumentative.
and the world
with you
