“Wow! What a cute top!” you exclaim as you rifle through the rack at Macy’s. The shirt, a ruffled masterpiece in light shimmery charcoal grey, is miraculously on the 70% off clearance rack. Observing the price tag, you are dismayed to see three digits. You can’t help but stare open-mouthed at the little piece of paper, and its big number. It’s not hard to calculate that even with the clearance price, and an additional discount from your Macy’s card (5% off, oh lala!) you still can’t afford it. At this point you have three options:
A. Take out your anger on the sales person, and throw a huge hissy fit. Make a big mess and use colorful language.
B. Go to Washington D.C. and protest to Obama about all these high merchandise prices
Or you could go with Option C, which is what I did:
C. Slump off dejectedly, but hold your head up high, because you’re too cool for that shirt anyways.
But even still, as you swaggerfully make your exit, there is one question that remains:
WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BLEEPING EXPENSIVE !?!
