| - Roughly 2.5 hours on a Saturday morning here made me learn much more than I expected. From this sole U.S. location, if any or all of the following apply to you, then there's a good chance that you will enjoy--and at times laugh at--a 4-starred treatment to Last Chance:
1. Thrift, treasure hunting is one of your favorite hobbies. In case you didn't know, Last Chance contains goods shipped from Nordstrom & Nordstrom Rack (whether new or returned), and these are given their--hehehe--last chance to be bought AS IS. If you're lucky, you'll get to the store realizing that, say, boots and shoes of certain sizes are marked an additional 50% off.
2. Patience & composure are written all over your body. There will be hoards of voracious customers drooling to get their hands dirty especially on name brand items. On one incidence my friend got a purse that somebody shamelessly snatched it from her hands--my friend got it back, btw--and on another scene a consumer sat next to me (while I was resting), holding onto this Givenchy purse for dear life b/c she was uncertain if she really wanted that glowing bag.
3. You REALLY don't mind thrift shop quality on the aforementioned. Because it is considered a thrift store, try to catch yourself complaining that clothing goods are sadly piled like a big dumpster, & there are a couple of punctured holes on that gorgeous-looking Michael Kors purse or stain spots on those Kate Spades.
4. You're comfortable w/ rules, security officers, & poker-faced workers all over this one-story retailer. For instance, only one purse at $89.99 or above can be bought per one customer. They must exist because unfortunately there are a number of tactical yet aggressive, sometimes profit-passionate shoppers that I don't need to fully describe how insane they can be. In other words, it's a weekly Black Friday for poppin' some tags.
5. You're OK waking up early on a Saturday--the day that's likely to be restocked. Angela T & I got in the front of Last Chance about an hour before opening hour. She told me that regulars will come as early as 8am (2 hours before opening on a Saturday) to increase their chances of grabbing those Nike sneakers.
6. You're a curious explorer--like me ^_^. I primarily did this for feeding that curiosity & for hanging out w/ Angela. Out of this 2.5-hour experience I did end up purchasing, e.g. a pair of boots that I bought at $15, rather than full value of $129.
So with all of these in mind and you're still down, I wish you the best odds for your first and last chance =)!!
