Payless rocks!<BR/><BR/>mom huebert: I admit to being slightly cranky during the incident. If I was in a good mood, I might have considered just letting it go. Ok, maybe not!<BR/><BR/>sassy lucy: I know the boots will be one of my daughter's prized possessions and that's really the only reason I did buy them. She's been wanting them forever, or at least as long as they've been around LOL Other than that reason, I don't ever shop at those stores either. The prices are ridiculous. <BR/><BR/>crystal: I don't know what's wrong with people. Part of me would really like to figure it out, but if I solved that problem, what on earth would I rant about?The Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-28954689158788902872007-12-22T23:07:00.000-06:002007-12-22T23:07:00.000-06:00UGG, indeed!!I think I probably would have slugged...UGG, indeed!!<BR/><BR/>I think I probably would have slugged the guy as he ripped the package from my hand.

I could never pay that much for those things....for any shoes/boots, I don't even let Papa spend that much on his steel toe boots if we can help it. <BR/>Glad my daughter hasn't found an interest in them, also glad she didn't hear of these Webkins things too. <BR/>Glad you stood your ground with the manager....no way should the sales guy get a commission he walked away, and I would boycott the store. Not that I would ever shop that store...way above my budget, and I don't think we have one near here....maybe Chicago, but I don't come down there often, as my sister would tell you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518964123008830311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-90087092151019800112007-12-21T19:11:00.000-06:002007-12-21T19:11:00.000-06:00'You have to withstand the elements while going br...'You have to withstand the elements while going broke at the same time. I would think for that kind of money, they could make you a little more comfortable.'<BR/><BR/>LOL! I agree wholeheartedly. I don't know what market research convinced the retail industry that shoppers don't like malls anymore, but they didn't ask shoppers, obviously. As for the wacko salesman - I agree that he held your purchased property ransom. The woo-the-customer idea completely escaped him. He not only lost you, but all of us who have read your blog post.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-73138411775568309612007-12-21T12:07:00.000-06:002007-12-21T12:07:00.000-06:00I knew the story wasn't going to be pretty when I ...I knew the story wasn't going to be pretty when I saw the picture of the UGG boots, but geez. I would say you handled yourself pretty good considering. I am also glad you pointed out how darned ugly they are because my niece has them in all the available colors and I can't say out loud even one more time in a fake manner just how "cute" they are, Ugh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28185298.post-64854234893352612272007-12-21T11:16:00.000-06:002007-12-21T11:16:00.000-06:00That is just a completely ridiculous incident.
