I'm a little slow today. I just switched to Sanka. So...have a heart?

YOU WOULD THINK...

So...I went to Syms today, and I found myself a nice Laundry shirt, that originally retailed for $165.00, reduced to $25.00. It's a fine shirt, but I only bought it because I made myself a hundred forty bucks on it. (That's the way Jews think about bargains.)

YOU WOULD THINK, that for nearly two hundred dollars for a buttondown shirt of similar quality to anything else you could buy out there... that they would give you an assload of collar stays. For $200.00, they should give you a lifetime subscription to CollarStays weekly, delivering free collar stays to your home and/or business.

But no.

How many collar stays did my shirt come with?

One.

One stay.

I should note that this particular shirt has TWO points to the collar.

And yet, they couldn't give me another shard of plastic valued at .0001 cents?

What fucking bullshit.

THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY EIGHT DOLLARS?!

I just spent three hundred seventy eight dollars to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore for Thanksgiving.

ON SOUTHWEST.

THE GREYHOUND OF THE SKIES.

Sick.

But... it's not the seven hundred dollars with a stop that American would have charged me... so go me.

I guess.

I'm a smart shopper. Even if it means I have to put up with awful white trash. Hopefully Lauren will be on my flight, and we can protect each other.
