Surprise, surprise…..I am NOT a shopper! I knew that, but being cooped up here at my dad’s in San Ramon, I thought it sounded like a good idea to try the Black Friday thing just to get out. But not at 3 AM by any means….I don’t even like that when I’m off to somewhere fun and far away.
Once I was up, my dad was showered and the morning chores were done, I decided to head out to Kohl’s. I had a coupon for $10 off on a purchase of $20 or more good until 1 PM today. I took the first parking space I found and walked a loooonnng ways to the store. It was busy and people seemed fairly congenial.
They did have some excellent prices and great deals. I picked out a few pairs of pants to try on that would have been way cheap with my coupon. But as I was looking for the fitting room, I noticed that the line to check out was really long…and commented to myself on that fact. THEN as I saw what I thought was the end of the line, I realized that the customers had left a gap where the aisle was….I literally couldn’t see the end of the line! It stretched somewhere into the back of the store. There must have been 50, 60 or more people in line!
At that point, I said to myself, “No way in hell! There aren’t any cheap pants worth standing in line this long for.” I hung them back up, smiled to myself and walked out empty handed. I’ve always known that I’m not a shopper, but that point was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt this morning. J Give me my Ross Stores with my 10% “senior” discount on Tuesdays!
