I'm experiencing retail heartbreak.

I was shopping for some clothes to wear when I go clubbing after prom in Manhattan on Wednesday. I wanted some of those hot metallic sandles that are in style lately. I went to the store to buy some Coach metallics, because they're lovely. They were originally $150, but on sale for $75. However, despite the fact that one shoe of the pair was out on display, and that the other shoe of the pair couldn't have been bought, the lazy folks couldn't find my shoe in the back. I was so sad. I wanted the Coach sandles so badly, they were so hot.

Anyone else experiencing retail heartbreak?
