So the other day I decide that I need a cute pair of rain boots. They have been in style for quit some time and living in the Pacific Northwest, these are a great investment. Plus then I get to go shopping for more shoes. If you know me, you know that I always enjoy shoe shopping.
Anyways, I go to Target where I always find everything. I find rain boots...lime green rain boots. Hmmm not exactly what I was looking for. I guess I thought I'd find a variety. So I head next door to Payless Shoe Source. A place where their soul purpose in life is to provide shoes. Again, gross lime green rain boots. UGH! Getting frustrated I try TJ Max. They don't have any at all. After going into 4 more stores in the MALL I begin to feel the annoyance rising inside of me.
Everywhere I go, every store, every display, every story is the same thing.
"Oh I'm sorry. We don't have anymore rain boots. They were removed to make room for our summer sandal sale. You're like the 5th person to ask me that." Really, I think. I kind of stared at her avoiding the urge to ask her how many pairs she had actually sold that day compared to how many people sales of rain boots she's turned down. Oh and just to give you an idea of how ridiculous that whole thing is IT SNOWED THAT DAY! Yeah. Snow. In March. In Tacoma. Where apparently it is summer and people need to buy flip flops.
Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw the sun...let's be honest here. People in the Pacific Northwest are naturally (i say this 'cause many invest in a high powered bulb sun) pale for a reason. We have no sun! Well...actually we do have a sun. It's the orange ball you see in the sky for 2-3 months out of the year.
I guess I'll just have to give in and order them online. I do enjoy online shopping, but it is in no way comparable to having shoes lined up in front of you to try on as you like.
...flip flops. I hate your marketers.
