Thoughts on Shopping

  • I’m beginning to think that there are four sizes of bra: the size you need, the size you think you are, the size that is too big, and the size that is too small. No matter what size I think I am, the bras of that size are always too big or too small. No bra is ever the size I need.
  • I am sick of ridiculous pricing. Why would any store price an item at $56 and then sell it to me for $8? But they do it. Over and over again. So I never buy anything when I first see it. I wait for prices to drop, for big sales, and for coupons. But it would be so much simpler for everyone if the stores just priced things appropriately.
  • I used to think that, when I felt like I was burning up and dying of thirst in the store, it was because they’d turned the heat up too high by accident. Now that every store has a display of pricey bottled water at the register, I’m beginning to suspect it’s not an accident.
  • What is the point of limiting the number of items that I can take into the dressing room with me? I mean, how many sweaters do they really think I can hide in my purse or shove down my pants? Dressing room limits (e.g., 6 items or less) are extremely inconvenient. Women’s clothing sizes never run true, so I have to bring at least two sizes of any item I’m interested in buying, and if it comes in multiple colors, I want to compare how they look on me. I don’t want to have to keep going back and forth, in and out of the dressing room, getting dressed and undressed, all day long. So, unless they’re willing to station someone outside the dressing room to fetch things for me, they should let me bring in everything I want to try on. Seriously!
  • And what ever happened to all the mirrors? It used to be that there were mirrors all over the place in the clothing department so that you could hold a garment up in front of you or try it on over your clothes to see how the color looked on you. Now, in many stores, there aren’t any mirrors, forcing us to bring more items to the dressing room, where they limit how many we can bring with us. Bring back the mirrors!
