Don't shop at Payless, you might get the cops called on you.

    Kinda annoyed with the attitude folks are giving this guy. I got to read a good story out of it, at the least.

    That true.

    the point at which the op lost me was when people started offering their customer service horror stories and he tried playing devil's advocate

    you can't have it both ways, dog

    How is it both ways when I was pointing out how an employee was undermining their customer, which is what happened to me?

    I apologized because I'm not here to argue. Maybe your reading comprehension could use some work.

    i'll work on my reading comprehension if you work on your attitude

    Deal. Your reward for marked improvement will be a $30 gift card to Payless.

    You got your gift card, you got your letter, you never have to go to that Payless again, go play with your kids or something and quit whining about it.

    No it isn't. Tell them to wait until after Thanksgiving and quit perpetuating a dumb practice!

    Unless you're Canadian. In that case go nuts.

    If he was Canadian, he would have sent them a gift card.

    But yeah it's way to early for Christmas stuff.

  • grizzlyaddamsgrizzlyaddams Registered User regular
    I realize it seems like I'm still whining and complaining, I was just keeping up with some of the replies.

    I think you've all been really awesome, letting me vent and being able to read a lot of different opinions and funny replies. Basically exactly what I came looking for.

    Tell that to the department stores!

    We were taking down the Halloween decorations when they started asking. I don't decorate for Thanksgiving.

    It actually takes a while to string all the Christmas stuff up, so I like to do a bit here and there so it's done by Thanksgiving because I host dinner for my family.

    Life is such a blur nowadays. I'd rather take my time decorating and then enjoy it for a while.

    No for real I got my shoes for my mom's wedding for $29.95 from Payless and they're pretty as hell

    Kids shoes should be LESS expensive

    I mean

    In theory

    Nah. Fiddlier to stitch. Needs smaller fingers.

    And basically most sweatshops won't employ the under-5s because their attention span is ratshit, so you've got to go to specialists, which drives the price up.

    Maybe it's because they were boots instead of flats or sneakers.

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular
    I bought my girlfriend some new boots but she has to wait until our trip before Christmas.

    Bye bye $200

    red wing boots are best boots

    Red Wings are solid.

    I've had a faithful pair of Wolverines.

    And I'm a fan of my Ariats.

    I bought my wife new sneakers a couple of months ago. After she found some she liked online, she gave me the style and I checked out the mall for prices and things. I went to a store I think called FootAction USA. They seemed surprised that I was shopping there. After looking at the selection for a few minutes I asked the clerks if they had the style. Turns out they only sell Mens athletic shoes. I felt silly for not noticing that none of the shoes were womens.

    I did get them from another store. Nike Alvord 10, Pink Fusion. They're pretty cute.

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular
    I live next to the outlet malls so that helps.

    Rack Room Shoes is always Buy One Get One 50% off

    It's kinda nice. And the fact that they have a Luchesse outlet now is pretty cool

    Two of my daughters are teenagers. They love sheepskin boots, but they always destroy them within like a month.

    How much would they be if you had a $30 Payless gift card?

    Well I guess they would still be 200 bucks because Payless doesn't sell $200 shoes

    I actually got them $50 off msrp, @Metalbourne

    To imagine my shoes just visualize a super cheap-o pair of $2 black flip-flop sandals with white butterflies printed on them. I have worn that same pair of shoes nearly every day for years now. (I hate shoes)

    I like shoes.

    My favorite are either my black beetle boots (rubber-lined, so they're great for nasty weather) or my brown monkstraps. Both were found at thrift stores.

    I agree, the ending was a bit weak.

    Let's write a new one.

    Should he get ownership of that one store or the entire company?

    I would like to buy some boots to wear with jeans. You know, casual. The girl I'm dating with the tattoo suggested biker boots, but I don't know. That's a little more butch than I feel. Any suggestions?

    Paratrooper boots? They can be fairly inexpensive and some/most have a zipper on the side so they're easier to put on/off.
