(Men, spare yourselves, and just forget about reading this blog post!)
Now I know as a model I should not "bite the hand that feeds me" but in this case as a customer, I demand CHANGE! Not the kind that jingles in your pocket... Reform, About Face, A new coat of paint on the old barn...so to speak.
My wonderful brother buys me a gift card a couple days before Christmas, because he knew I really wanted a pair of shoes that I saw at Boston store, I open it on Christmas day, and the 10 percent off coupon that comes with the gift card is expired. (WHATEVER)
Reason (1)
So I go in to look at the shoes and the don't have the ones I want in stock in my size 10 1/2 ( So SAD!)
Reason (2)
I am talking to the lady at the counter and she says that they only carry half sizes up to 9 1/2 ( Bummer!)
Reason(3)
Then she tells me that I can see if I can get the next size up... 11... online. Because they only get one or two pairs of that size in each shipment to the store, and when they come in hoards of tall people are waiting to break down the doors just so they can fight over the cutest most coveted pair. ( Ummm.... BOSTON STORE?!!....NEWS FLASH!, THERE ARE LOTS OF TALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.)
Reason(4)
So I go home get online and search every store that I am allowed to use the gift card with that is assosiated to Boston store trying to find my pair of shoes in a 10/12 or 11. I find out that only one pair of shoes in the entirety of the web of stores come in my size even on the web! (WTF!!) (Now i'm pissed!)
Reason(5)
Now I just give up, on the boots, and look for other stuff online in their store, only to find out at the purchase window that they dont accept gift cards as payment online!!!!!!!!! ( I REALLY WANTED TO F**K SOMEONE UP NOW!)
Reason(6)
I go back to the store and ask to return the gift card for cash, (they said NO!)
Reason(7)
I asked if I buy something else with the gift card, and return it then can I get the cash ? (they said NO only a store credit) I was like.... I dont want, or need, anything in your store except these shoes! The lady at the counter felt sorry for me so she gave me a new and valid 10 percent off card.
(RUB IT IN ! WHY DONT YOU!)
Reason(8)
So I go to look for the alternate things that I would have bought if they had let me use the gift card online, and they are all out of stock in store, on everything I had picked out the day before online! (BOSTON STORE IN MY MIND WAS NOW LIKE SHOPPING AT GOODWILL,(you find ok stuff but its not what you were planning on, and it gets old fast~!)
Reason(9)
The bathroom is to hard to find ! (when you have a 2 1/2 year old... they dont wait to long!)
Reason(10)
Change can be good ( CARS USED TO NEVER HAVE AIRBAGS, AND PHONES HAD CORDS...MEN USED TO CARRY CLUBS AND WEAR FLINTSTONE TYPE THREADS( Just checking if some guy dared to read this ;-) ...... LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME.)
LMAO!! thanks for the Laughs Ruth!
