There is a store that exists in my fair city where you can find $350 designer shoes for $20.  Yes.  It's happened to me before, and I have proof!

&nbsp;

This store is called Last Chance, and it's the final exit for all Nordstrom returns/rejects/never purchased items.

&nbsp;

Oh, Nordstrom, how do we love thee?  Let us count the ways!

&nbsp;

Firstly, you have the most amazing customer service in the galaxy!

&nbsp;

Secondly, this includes taking <em>everything</em> back which is convenient for us honest folk who wear a pair of shoes once, realize that they mangle our feet outside of the showroom, and don't care to flush $$ down the toilet.

&nbsp;

But for those women who WEAR SHOES FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON and then return them to you for their money back or a store credit while us honest folk are donating our worn shoes to Goodwill???  Tacky, tacky.

&nbsp;

(Not you, Nordies.  The women.  Who ARE these women anyway???)

&nbsp;

I made my semi-annual pilgrimage to Last Chance on Day 328 with dreams of sharing with my readers the most fabulous shoe booty in the history of womankind!  Oh, all of you were going to be amazed!

&nbsp;

Unfortunately, it seems as thought the Tacky Women have turned Last Chance into No Chance in Hell.  'Tis a pity.

Tacky Women, call your mothers.  Mothers of Tacky Women, kindly remind your daughters that they should not take advantage of Nordstrom's exemplary customer service policies <em>just because they can</em>.  We all wind up paying in the long run.  Encourage them to do the right thing.

&nbsp;

Oh -- and one more thing, Moms of TWs.  Please reteach your daughters how to clean up after themselves.

&nbsp;

Thank you.
