Shopping Recap
A friend & I thrift store shopping this weekend and I picked up
6 pairs of pants (There were no dressing rooms so only 4 fit)
2 jeans (blue & white)
1 pair white dress pants (didn't fit)
1 pair gray dress pants
1 pair blue adidas track pants
1 pair of swimming trunks (didn't fit)
5 new hats
1 HP & the Order of the Phoenix hat which doesn't fit because it was meant for a childs head
2 knit hats (yellow & dark grey)
2 odd hats (one a brown faux fur hat and one an odd brown rings of yarn hat)
I also picked up a Star Wars Episode 1 shirt for my friend JB.
Then we headed over to Shoe Pavilion and this is where the drama happens. I was looking around with the mens' sneaker section with my friend J. when I notice that the salesperson for the mens' fancy shoes section is following us around (Keep in mind I never set foot in the fancy shoe section). I don't say anything for a bit as he follows us from section to section (really badly I might add, if you're gonna follow someone at least try to be slick about it).
When I start to get really tired of it I stare him down until he leaves but that only lasts a little bit. I look up from trying on a pair of cute argyle shoes (which I ended up getting) and there he is, leaning oh so casually against a pillar five feet away. So I look at him and say "I don't appreciate being followed around..." I look back down at the shoe and continue "...not all black people steal you know?" I look up in time to see him beating a hasty retreat. What I should have done at that point is follow him, get his name and talk to the manager but I just wanted to get the hell out of there. So I went and bought the two pairs of shoe I liked (the argyle pair and a pair of Saucony grey & silver ones)
I want to go back to Shoe Pavilion not only to cuss that guy out and report him but also cause I want more shoes. I want shoes of every color for every occasion. Beware a new shoe beast has been set loose.
I also forgot that Ozomatli was having a free concert at Stern Grove yesterday. Damn it!
