Editing to add: UO. If I lived in a location frequented by tourists I would get annoyed by people constantly asking “can I get a bag as a tourist walk in” in my home store thread. I seriously do not get the urge to shop “elsewhere” instead of your home store. Paris is special. Everywhere else you go is not like Paris.

👏👏👏 the overheard conversations at my home store…priceless and annoying.

I dislike the emphasis on in-crowd acronyms! A QB weirdly isn't Patrick Mahomes, and an SO is constructed of leather and hardware and not that very patient guy over there. What? I pity the newcomers struggling to interpret the shorthand.

I had to google what “DH” meant when I started actively reading the forum.

Once I found out, I wondered why everyone else is so fortunate to be able to refer to their “H” as “D” when my “H” is not very “D” at all when it comes to Hermes, with his constant reminders to not spend so much of my $ there :lol:

Tell him that it is because he is not always acting "D", you have to turn to the other "H" for comfort.

This blows my mind; it would never even occur to me. In all my years (OMG, like 27 years) I can count on one hand the number of times I have even seen an item being unwrapped from the plastic.

Is it an UO that I would want my SA to check what’s in the box before presenting it to me?

I always ask my SAs to look inside the box first. It will be stupid to make a trip (whether it is a short drive or flying somewhere) to be met with a bag different from what I think it will be.

My UO: If one relies on the shrink wrap to feel important, I am very sorry for that person.

Don't SAs re-shrinkwrap boxes nowadays? I think I read that on our forum somewhere (not a very sustainable practice IMO).
