Gooci? L.V.?

So, a funny thing happens to me at work. I am asked all the time for specific designer handbags, Dooney and Bourke, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, and others and I just direct them to the correct floor.

Fairly simple, right? But what about:

"Gooci?"

"L.V."

"Gucky?"

"Lee Vee?"

Apparently Gucci and Louis Vuitton are really hard to say. After I figure out what the guest is trying to say I become an incredible snob (I try not to, but it's so hard) and say to them:

"Do you mean Gucci?"

or

"Do you mean Louis Vuitton?" (I may not speak French fluently but I can say Louis Vuitton like a Frenchman!)

It's so awful, but I would really like to know why they are looking for a brand they can't even pronounce!?

I feel like I am dealing with this:



Except my inquiries do not come from someone as adorable as James Franco. He could mispronounce it all day and I'd be fine with it!
