So, I know all about how awful Wal-mart is and I totally agree with the fact that they're kinda evil. However, even knowing that, I recently began shopping there anyway, strictly because of their price-matching and coupon policies. Basically, in case you didn't know, Walmart will honor their competitors ads, within certain guidelines, and each ( Read more... )

Suckage from earlier tonight... I went and did some last minute shopping with my mother at the mall, mostly at New York and Company. Now, we've been going to this particular store for YEARS, she has credit with them, etc etc. Never had a single issue until tonight. We're browsing around their clearance items (which was somewhere around 7~8 long ( Read more... )

Because my cousin "didn't want to be a bridezilla," instead of picking out a dress and letting up get measured for it, she decides to just pick the color and leave it to us to select a dress from a certain brand in that color.

Here in El paso, both the Targets around me only have 2-3 registers open (even on the weekend!).

I am going to a convention this weekend and decided to go to my local Party City to pick up some cheap fishnets. Now I am not sure about other Party City's, but this location is notoriously messy and strangely stocked. There is always product all over the floor and they always seem to be out of whatever you are looking for, but its the only party ( Read more... )

A friend and I were at the mall today and we were looking for liquid eyeliner for a cosplay prop. We were dressed in our cosplays, and we went inside of a Sephora figuring they would have something. We were in there a good 15 minutes and not one of the sales ladies even greeted us. I asked my friend if we should ask one of them were the liquid ( Read more... )

Background: I am currently enrolled in culinary school (and loving it). Today started the last week of my current term (garde manger, with an awesome teacher, irrelevant but worth mentioning) and being a last minuter I stayed a little late to complete all the work that was due today (it's assigned every week but collected end of term). We also ( Read more... )
