shopping peeves and more...

A mini run-down of things that have pissed me off during my recent retail adventures...

1) J.Crew

Okay. I can not for the life of me understand the rationality behind their decision to make the perfect-fit v-neck, perfect-fit scoopneck, and all soft tee's online only items. It angers me to no end when I walk into a J.Crew and find the perfect-fit crewneck in every color but I'm forced to pay that killer shipping cost on the v-neck and scoop style(s). Honestly though, what is the reasoning behind this? Store associates roll their eyes when asked about this (I've seen others ask- not just myself - so I know this is a popular issue) and I can't help but hope that one day it will change. I find it a real shame that I walk into a J.Crew and leave without basics... every woman wants a short sleeve v-neck t. To make the issue more annoying... J.Crew is now offering 30% off all tee's... in stores only... so I can get my crewneck at a discount but not the items I actually want. Thanks.

2) Urban Outfitters

Take broken/damaged goods off of the sales floor, get a store credit card that offers discounts of some sort, and stop charging 60 dollars for a pencil thin knits that rip after one outing. Thank you.

3) Abercrombie

Just stop - everything. Really.

4) Virgin Megastore

You can stop pretending to have your going out of business sale that isn't actually a sale because those prices are still out of control... I'll take it to itunes and Barnes and Noble, thanks.

5) Banana Republic

There are new colors out there in this wide world of fabric... you can try to find them.

In other news... I hate the fact that West Side Story has a lottery.

My experience with lottos, hm? I have never won. Hey! Let's look at my tally...

Wicked - 19 attempts
In the Heights - 12 attempts
Hairspray - 9 attempts
Title of Show - 5 attempts
Shrek the Musical - 3 attempts
West Side Story - 2 attempts

Do the math... oh student rush how I love thee. Oh and trust me, I am NOT one of those annoying crybaby losers complaining that not every show offers a rush blah blah blah... I will pay full price if I have to but being that I'm in the fiancial situation where shampoo is breaking the bank... it's a tough call. I do wash my hair everyday- that was just an example.

Tomorrow is Impressionism!! I am beyond excited... I am obsessed with everyone performing in it. I TDF'd it so who knows where I'll sitting but it'll be an adventure! I'll post a decent review - I promise.
