Ladies you will understand my Thanksgiving clothing dilemma. You wake up on Thursday morning, grab the sale flyers, plan your Black Friday attack and then gorge on a great Thanksgiving meal. On Black Friday you are supposed to take your now full belly that is sticking out from all of the great carbs that you devoured the night before and try on clothes that now don't fit because you got lazy over the holidays and chose eating a holiday cookie with sprinkles over going to Zumba class.
Luckily Black Friday has now become Turkey Thursday. A good chunk of the sales started on Thursday morning instead of Friday at midnight. We can now buy our clothes before the 5,000 calorie turkey day meal. Old Navy decided that instead of lounging around and planning my shopping attack I was to throw on whatever fit, hop in the car and go lay claim to some $15 skinny jeans. Yes, that right, the Old Navy skinny jeans that just make your ass look oh so good were on sale for $15.
I called first to verify that the jeans were on sale for $15 with no strange strings attached to the purchase price and that my size was still available. The woman that I spoke to was a manager. She did a shelf check for me and verified that yes, the sale had no fine print and that my size was still on the shelf.
So here I go to Old Navy, hair in a pony tail of death, big football t shirt left over from an ex, when I should be getting ready for a half day of work and baking my contribution to friends pot luck Thanksgiving Day dinner.
The parking lot was full. I got the last space at the end of the lot, grabbed my keys and headed toward the door. Between me and the door was a perfume squirter.
Bad timing..
Very very bad timing...
One of those perfume squirters was stopping people in the parking lot. She is a woman, does she not understand that stopping people from time sensitive shopping deals is a bad idea? She almost got run over by a truck before she approached me and tried to squirt me with a free sample of whatever the hell perfume she was trying to sell. I firmly said no and brushed past her. I don't have time for this. $15 skinny jeans await.
I walk into the store and it was mobbed. A sales clerk handed me some 3-D glasses and a coupon. The coupon was for 10% off of a $100 purchase. I never figured out how to use the 3-D glasses.
I walk back to where Old Navy stacks the skinny jeans. Surprisingly the section was not disheveled. I searched for my jeans and didn't see them in the right length. I asked a sales woman if there were more in the back. She said that there were alot more and went in the back and grabbed me a few pairs.
I went right into the dressing room. I really don't know why there wasn't a wait for the rooms with the mob that was shopping but I went right in.
Damn my ass looks good in these jeans! All of the extra workouts over the past year were worth it. Two spins in the mirror and then back into my own clothes.
I looked around and never did find the table with the $5 t-shirts but now time is of the essence. I have to get back to Thanksgiving day reality and bake my secret recipe Alfredo dish before heading in for my half day of work. I must now navigate around the unsupervised toddlers and teenage girls bickering with mom about how tight jeans should be and get into the long line of of people who are in just as much of a rush as I am to check out and move on.
The line was about 30 deep but they had six checkers working and it took about 10 minutes for it to be my turn. The jeans rang up at the $15 sale price and I grabbed my bag and headed toward the door.
4 Stars on a hectic day! They had my jeans, they rang up correctly, the crowd was handled quickly and my ass looks great. Star is lost because after rounding the store and following staff directions I never did find the $5 T-shirts.
