Amanda wandered the aisles of the upscale women's store. She was happy to have her new job, her first "real" job, but the dress code left much to be desired. All females were required to wear a dress or skirt everyday. As if that was not bad enough, hosiery, either pantyhose or tights, was required.
Twenty three years old, blond and an ex cheerleader, Amanda considered her legs an asset. She could deal with the skirts and dresses, but pantyhose? She wandered the hosiery aisles, nude or black, sheer or shiny, nothing appealed to the young professional. That is when she saw it, hose-in-a-can. She admired the shiny label, it was as if she could not look away":
"Don't waste your money on expensive pantyhose that run the minute you put them on, hose-in-a-can can spray your hose problems away. One use and you will be a lifetime customer"
Amanda almost hypnotically picked up a can of the "shiny tan" variety and mindlessly placed it in her basket as she walked in a daze to the checkout.
