Retail Heartbreak

[Rye]

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?

I think you've probably seen it before from my LJ but:



The pink and the green were the only colours of it I liked. They'd sold out within a DAY. I saw it the day before I got paid from work, fully in stock. The following day I went to buy it, and in both colours it was sold out in my size. I wanted to cry. but I'm hoping they'll get it back in stock soon so I can get it. <3

I wanted to buy the His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano) box set the other day, but the store I was at priced it at 130 dollars. I ended up buying the Ichigo Mashimaro box set instead for 60.

Once I got home, I looked the same box set up on eBay-- 35 dollars. I'm going to buy it when the debit card I applied for arrives!

Every time I go clothes shopping I experience all kinds of heartbreak. Clothes don't fit me well, I have to get a bigger size than I want, and the things I like are too expensive.

This is why I prefer to stay home in my jammies! Go Rancid T-shirt and strawberry pants!

I don't even want to get started with my "jeans are too small because of my ass" heartbreak rant. xD

And that dress is lovely, Jess, I'd cry if I lost it like that. ;;

I had wanted to get Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for a few months, and when I finally had some money to spend, I found out that it was a fairly limited run and neither Amazon nor Wal Mart had it.

Luckily no one shops at the K Mart in town and I got it, so that was pretty tight.

I dunno. I don't do much clothes shopping, or really anything where they won't have what I want in a specific make that I want. They either have it or they don't, more often than not they do.

Try every smurfing time I want to buy a new game. The only place in my craphole town to buy games is Wal-Mart and their selection sucks all kinds of ass, so I end up wandering around to different towns and waiting for WEEKS sometimes to get a new release.

Yesterday I couldn't find one of the 80 gig PS3 bundles, but I'm so goddamn tired of always having to wait forever and run around like an idiot, I just bought a 40 gig one. If I find an 80 gig soon, I'll try and bring this one back. Screw it.

Try finding it online then?

I hate buying stuff online because you need a credit card and I refuse to get a credit card. Besides the one I have that's maxed out because I needed money to live. >_>

Get a debit card, then. Those work too in most cases. o_O

Just the fact that they've pulled all GameCube games back from like every store in the country! So annoying..!
