Default OMGosh, They are Selling Fake Coach in the Lobby at my Work!!!

The lobby where I work host many vendors from time to time and there is a vendor down there as I sit here hocking FAKES...most of the fakes are hideous, but some look pretty real, but then what do I know since I'm a Coach newb...just bought my one and only (so far) in December.
This just sickens me...

the similar thing happens at my college. we have vendors for a week a few times every quarter, and there's a store that sells fake coach and tokidoki bags. it was disgusting to notice that so many more girls suddenly had "coach" and "tokidoki" bags after the last time the vendors came. now whenever i think i see designer bags, i have to do a double take.

The vendors are so frustrating... there's a lot on campus because a lot of people feel like "if it works it doesn't matter if it's real" which undermines the whole system. It's so frustrating, but whenever one vendor disappears, another just shows up and takes his place.

Today at Target I saw a Lady with a GOACH Carly. I almost died. So ugly and there I was with my Hampton Satchel in Choc. Brown. Proudly displayed in my cart.

OMG, seriously?? Some towns are cracking down on this....especially the purse parties. It's funny but about a block down from the Coach outlet in San Juan last summer, there were street vendors selling hideous fakes too. I thought that was really bold to be right near the Coach store!!

I recently looked up the number for the Lake George outlet so that I could call and try to reserve an item for my friend to pick up on his way back from skiing, and in the course of doing that, I discovered several articles about how the Glens Falls area in general has been plagued by counterfeits. I read that the police started cracking down, and they even "invited" some vendors to come for purse parties and arrested them, etc... Around me they have also cracked down on some flea market vendors, but it always surprises me that some vendors even come back and do it again after being arrested the first time.

You know, I have to say that even if I didn't hate fakes as much as I do, I sure would hate to sell this stuff and always wonder every day whether I would make it home (as opposed to jail) at the end of the day!! You never know!! What a life (NOT)!!

I would have called the police non-emergency number.
I wonder if they would/could do anything about it?!?!
