I was informed that Macy's does not carry the shoes I want to try on because we're in "the midwest".

Uh, what? See if Zappos has them. Zappos doesn't care if you live in the midwest.

weird. I know the deal so I was switching doors every time and I won the car ten times in a row. Then I accidentally didn't switch and won the car again! I had to keep playing until I got the goat just to make sure the demo wasn't broken.

Made of FAIL, Macy's.

Macy's was made of fail once they bought Dayton's/Marshall Field's and made them all Macy's. I spit upon Macy's.

ptui!

Also Foley's (in some cases the old Stripling Cox's).

That's the kind of thing that can be explained to me a million times in a million different ways and I just won't understand. My brain is broken.

I got woefully behind in the previous Natter and always feel guilty for skimming. so i'm just going to jump into the new thread(which i've read). so umm...HI!!

life is kinda funny sometimes. i'm kinda low on cashflow until payday on the 15 and was imagining many days of having to eat cheese crackers for lunch, but the past two days i've gotten free lunch! score!! it probably won't happen again now that i've mentioned it...

lisah- if you're ever going to get it, that link is the place to go. It's interactive!

Nope! I read through the explanation and ... nada. Doesn't make sense.

I knew that Macy's was already made of fail, but not carrying stuff because Chicago is too midwestern? Oh, please.

See if Zappos has them. Zappos doesn't care if you live in the midwest.

I had to go digging around Zappos to find the exact ones I wanted to try on, but there they are, so go team Zappos.
