I'm not sure why ASU hasn't started using this place for research yet. Psychologists could study human aggressiveness patterns in the shoe section. Sociologists could study class stratification between the ebayers buying 15 designer handbags and the college girls buying 6 $1.00 tank tops. And an ethnographer could explore the interactions that people of a wide array of cultures have with one another in the line that usually stretches to the back of the store.
If you can't tell, this place is a zoo. An underground hell-hole with no cell phone reception where Nordstrom's returns go to die. If the land of misfit toys included Mui Mui's and Christian Louboutin's the Last Chance would be it.
I love this place. Sure you have to get rammed by a stroller or two to get anything good, but that makes shopping here much more interesting than at the mall with civilized people.
The first rule of Last Chance is that you don't talk about the Last Chance.
#2: Do not talk about the Last Chance
#3: Bring a buddy. People get vicious in the fitting rooms and in the checkout line.
#4: NEVER leave anything unattended. You will never see it again.
#5: Go on a weekday morning. There will still be a mob waiting at the door, but the weekends are not for the faint of heart.
#6: Go often. You will never find anything here on a whim. You must have a strategy.

Ok, ok, enough with the Fight Club references. But seriously, if you follow these rules there is no limit to what you will find. I've seen several pairs of $100 Mui Mui shoes, $60 leather Juicy Couture satchels, and $6.00 Frenchie sweaters.
You can look like a million bucks if you have the patience.
