And it's not just stretch marks--this type of customer will point out ANY flaw he sees...and if he doesn't see one, he'll invent one to bitch about.
Just realize that a) this type of customer does exist and at some point you'll definitely run into more than one, and b) realize where it's coming from, and be able to let their comments slide off of you. It's not you, it's them--and their comments show more about their personality flaws than your physical ones.
There will be some guys who will call you out for having stretch marks. hell, I've had guys call me fat when I weighed less than 100 lbs. The important thing is, do you have the self confidence to laugh in their faces when they try to insult you? And will you be able to walk away without taking it to heart? Because there will always be other more respectful custies, who will think you're the hottest thing in the room and who won't notice or care if you have stretchmarks. ;)
