It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a minimum wage worker in possession of a retail job must be in want of a life.
If you have, or are currently working retail, or you only feel safe shopping chain stores, please read the stories below. They are from "the only gawker blog worth reading, Jezebel,"* and they are rife with illicit content. Just another argument to be an educated consumer.
From the "I Work Retail" category on Jezebel:
I've heard similar tales from friends: starbucks dealing more addictive substances than just coffee and chocolate, h&m s&m, and the all-too-common stories of Abercrombie driving its associates to shoplifting. And people wonder why I have NEVER purchased anything from A&F (or ANY of their stores), or American Eagle, or American Apparel, or ... noticing a trend here.

Anthropologie, is for lack of a better word, a stupid store. the offerings are all over the map (are we boho, hippie, vintage or preppy?), the prices too high and hello? they are everywhere now.
i used to shop there back in 1999 at the original store in Wayne, PA. there was a woman there who was head of the sales floor and she was a witch. she definitely did not care about black people nor the white people who were spending money there.
but since anthro became a suburban-mall staple, i've pretty much avoided this place. why? it just feels like an overpriced urban outfitters. also the clothes are often in this weird hybrid of too-dressy for day, but not dressy enough for night.
i confess i bought this rather pretty sweater there last year with some funky buttons and at a good price like $48. anyways, everytime i wear it in the daytime, i'm like "am i dressing up too much?" the one time i wore it at night, it was not dressy enough.
i found a happy medium though with this sweater---Taco Tuesdays happy hour at an upscale Mexican joint near my house. $1.50 a taco. Ole!
i think you just wrote a post within my post
