Yikes! Why do I ever go to Carmel? I came in to get some new Toms since they're one of the only places around here that sells them. It's crazy busy but that's not their fault, if anything that's good for them but a pain for anyone else since the store is the size of my room. I found the pair I wanted and I asked the kid behind the counter who already looked like a punk that I wanted to get this pair and he just stared me in the face and said, "Okay, umm what size?" Like I was the biggest idiot in the world because I didn't give the Carmel punk my shoe size right off the bat.
He went back to get them but when I came up to the counter to pay he whispered something in the ear of the cashier who looked around until she found me and laughed. So this was already putting me in a bad mood until she asked, "Do you want some low-cut socks to go with this?" I plainly said no that's okay and she continued to push them saying, "They're really going to stink, you probably want them." I'm good with putting on a nice face even when people are pushing me but this was getting me really mad. She then tried to push some expensive shoe spray and then wanted me e-mail so i could save $5. When I said no her response was, "I hate when people turn down free money." I didn't say another word and got the heck out Carmel as fast as I can.
And at the markup they sell those Toms for, I will definitely just buy them from the website from now on. read more
