| - If there's one thing Nordstrom does best, it's shoes! I am someone who doesn't shop that often, but when I do, it's with unadulterated abandonment! As a mother of three, I spend most of my resources on providing a nice life for my children, but when Mama has an afternoon to herself, you can be sure that it will be to the fullest extent of the law and the credit card.
I took a taxi to Nordstrom from my hotel with the intention of buying myself some new shoes, ready to spend some money. The irony is that I got very little service and this was a huge turnoff. I wanted to pull the salesmen who were milling around into a huddle and yell "When you see a customer, you ASK them if they need help! They shouldn't have to stand there like an idiot trying to flag you down."
I finally found someone to help me and he brought out all the different sizes of shoes I requested. He then left to go ring up another customer and basically left me waiting for him... again. Although he was a surly fellow, I do have to say that he did do me the good deed of getting a box of shoes shipped to my house because they didn't have my size in stock. After my surly new buddy, who only started to perk up after I decided to buy three pairs of $200 shoes, rang up my order I triumphantly left with my beautiful new shoes.
Months later I do not regret my purchase as my shoes are gorgeous and completely worth every penny because they make me feel like my old self. Someone who has no children, no responsibility, no worries and no one to watch over except myself. I sip on my martini, laugh with my friends and reapply my lip gloss. Then I warp back to reality, take off my three inch heels, put on a pair of flip flops, and pick my kids up from the babysitter. Like I said, worth every penny.
