What Victoria's Secret Workers Think When Men Walk Into The Store

What Victoria's Secret workers think about male customers.

A former Victoria's Secret employee told us that workers at her Chicago-area store were trained to treat male customers differently from female ones.

"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."

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.

Several retailers — from teen powerhouse American Eagle, to start-ups like AdoreMe — have tried to compete with the brand.

But no one has come close to the dominance of Victoria's Secret.

A recent Business Insider survey found that 54% of women prefer the brand to all others — much higher than any other retailer in the category.
