Shopping
Kaufmann's
-- I understand why department stores are struggling -- they
do not even attempt to hide that their pricing is intended to
confuse you. One sign read "Clearance 50% Off -- $29.99
-- originally 62.99 - 80.00." But 29.99 is not 50% of anything
in that possible price range. There are also coupons to be clipped
from their ads in the paper; coupons which have exclusionary
notes twice the length of some doctoral theses. There is no
practical way to tell whether the coupon will work on a particular
item other than to take it to a cash register.
And
some sale prices don't ring up on the cash register, even though
they are clearly marked in the store. (Or as clearly as one
could hope to find in a department store).
Then
to Bachrach, which really doesn't carry jackets in size 39.
Men's Wearhouse, which does, but had an unhelpful salesman.
(I could use some help on whether or not something fits correctly,
hangs right, what about this cut -- just pulling jackets off
the rack one after the other and holding them out while I put
them on is nice but not useful).
And
Kohl's -- good shirts on clearance.
