Shoe store.....................RANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrish284]

You need a "fit" for a pair of flip-flops? Isn't that the dresscode shoe of the paparazzi?

I recall the days gone by really well, and you can blame that trashpit box of death Walmart for the no service of today. You wanted lower prices didn'tyou? I never asked for it, and I forbid the usage of that junkdealer for anyone carrying my name. I like/liked service, and the small extra change that itrequired is/was gladly paid. My time is far more valuable, than wasting 30 minutes, trying to find an unmolested pair of steppers that fit my dogs. We'reall paying in the end, for the LOWEST prices for the masses.

Remember when you could pull into a "gas" station, not leave the comfort of your rig, some dude basically goes Jiffy-Lube on your sled-while fillingup your tank, and this cost you a few extra cents. Nowadays, you have to get out, take a shuttle bus to the megatron-station's entrance, that is also afull service junkfood emporium slash mini-Walmart (see above for thoughts of) and wait in a line that resembles a line for tickets to see the Rolling Stones,while some Jr. High dropout tries to get a pricecheck on the 72 pack of TP. You wade through that, pay the extortion fee to filler up, and heaven forbid, youoverpay for what your sled can take! Back to the shuttle, back to the ticket lines. Screw it, I just leave the change in the pump, couldn't pay me to waitagain. I'm lucky though. Only time I hit these holes is when my toys need juice, otherwise, I fillup at work. Yeehaw.

I think think your insult needs to be addressed.

You sound like a lazy DOLT who wants to be served hand and foot

I agree completely. You could not get me to go into lone of those places. I pay at the pump and am on my way. They don't have anything else there I need bad enough to go inside!

Oh, and btw, I HATE buying shoes / clothing anywhere, anyplace, anytime. Being 6'-4" and 170 lbs, with a size 12 extra-narrow shoe, I can never findanything that fits and it's always an exercise in frustration, salespeople or no.

In fact, I have a funny trick I play on salespeople - when I walk in they ask if I need any help. I tell 'em: "If you can find ANY pair of pants inthis store size 34" x 38", or any shirt size 14" x 36", or any shoe in size 12 extra-narrow, I'll buy every one you've got!"Needless to say, they never find anything. Oh, and big'n'tall shops aren't any better - they cater mostly to the BIG end of the spectrum, so if Ibuy something that's long enough, you can usually fit 3 of me in 'em.

There's MY rant!
