Hi everyone! Have any of you ladies stopped by the Coach Ala Moana store in Hawaii by any chance lately? I work as a sales associate there so I'd love to meet some of you if you'd like to stop by!
btw...25% sale going on right now storewide : ]
The one my DH was at last night had 25% off the entire store!! He used my PCE card (last day was yesterday) and since Montana has no tax, he had the purchases shipped to our home to save on that (free shipping, 2nd day air). When DH noted how expensive the prices were, the SA said they'd ship them from JAX so I got 25% off the mainland price!! BUT, he did get some things in the Hawaii store(s) that were 25% off because there was some exclusive things (he won't say....leaving it a surprise). They also shipped those from the boutique to save on sales tax (2nd day air---free shipping).
And yup, the mark up is insane and sucks for the local people. Yeah, we're a tourist industry but we already have to pay for the high cost of living with real estate and food so now we have to add designer items to the list. BLAH.
But you live in paradise!!!
Hahaha. Yeah, but we DEFINITELY pay the price... and that really does kind of suck, especially for those who grew up here and our whole life is here and if we want to stay we have to really pay for it. *sigh* Regardless, I love living in Hawaii more than any place else so I gotta SUCK - IT - UP. *lol*
