Pretty Girl the store (just like pretty girls in general) constantly tricks me into giving it a chance, despite letting me down over and over.
Clothes look pretty good from a distance. Fresh styles and colors at amazingly cheap prices. It's only once you take something home that you realize (again, just like a real pretty girl), cheap means cheap. I've had things literally fall apart the first time I put them on. Like, got a shirt home, put it on, and the little decorative beads on it just started popping off. Within about half an hour, there were no beads left.
And this is where the ultimate scam comes in. There are no changing rooms in the store, yet the return policy is exchange only. No credit. No cash back. So basically if you see something you like, you can't try it on to confirm. So if you take a chance and buy it, then realize it looks awful on you once you're home, you're screwed. After having this happen with about $20 of merch, I made a new rule: unless I am 100% sure I am a fan of what I'm buying, I don't buy it. Even the slightest hesitancy means I'm not getting it. And if it's more than ten bucks, forget it. read more
