if they had chairs in the outlets, i'd camp out just to observe all day.
as in my intro before, i'm totally new to coach..just started hitting outlets at the end of summer this year. previously, i had never even stepped in.
i can only imagine what i'll see over the holidays as the stores get even busier, but so far pretty much each trip i've made i've been witness to mayhem and foolishness (credit: neicy nash)
i figure i'm new, so it's got to be only the tip of the iceberg.... please share whatever histronics you all have witnessed.
my main story i've been retelling is one morning at the charleston sc outlet, i waited outside for the store to open with a very nice well dressed lady proably in her 60's. she had a bag with something to return. once we were in the store i was fussing about all the deletes, and i gradually noticed the sales associates voice was getting louder and her tone became firmer.
this lady had five bags to return. before i started really listening the SA had already put a couple of her bags to the side. she asked the lady if any of the bags were UNused, the lady replied she had never used them. well in each bag the SA was finding and having to point out giant stains (yes i'm nosey and i saw one: a giant brown looked like a coffee stain the size of my hand on pale pink interior lining). so she sets aside yet another bag in her pile of 'obviously used nonreturnable bags'.....the kicker was when she got to the last bag, her face turned into a grimacing scowl, and she again asked the lady if this one too is 'never used', and the lady insists it sat on a shelf in her closet since she bought it.
well the SA opens the palm of her hand to show her what she just pulled out of the bag: toenail clippers.... and then she proceeds to open the bag and show the lady the interior and loudly states: 'THERE ARE TOENAIL CLIPPINGS INSIDE OF THIS BAG, YOU HAVE NO BAGS THAT ARE UNUSED AND NONE CAN BE RETURNED!!'
_the end_
