Some guy from the Hispano Chamber of Commerce just asked me if we were chamber members. I replied "no". He asked "why not" and then threw his business card at me and walked out. Pretty sure he answered his own question there.

Sorry to anyone who has had trouble with our technology lately! In short, it has sucked!

But... (duh duh daaaaa) the phones are back up AND the website is getting a LONG overdue sprucing up. So if you are shopping online and things go funny, just give the zombies a minute and reload. They will be hammering away on the keys to make shopping easier for everybody!

So yesterday a middle aged man walked into the store and asked the address. This is the conversation that followed:

"We are at 300 Yale." (me)

"300... where is 301?" (him)

"um, I dunno. But since this is 300 it must be across the street."

"across the street?"

"yeah, cause this side is evens. So 301 must be across the street"

"See, I had a package sent to me, but the guy put the wrong address. He sent it to 301."

"Well you should ask across the street."

"You're sure that this is 300?"

"Yeah, pretty sure. Wanna see a business  card?"

"Well I guess I will trust you" *storms out*

I love my customers. Sometimes, however, there are communication challenges. Here is a series of questions from a walk-in today:

"Is this a dress?" *while holding up a dress*

"What is this?" *While holding up a skirt?*

"Why don't they have fishnet here like they have in Boston?" (I've spent some time in Boston. From what I have seen, fishnet is fishnet.)

"Do you guys buy these clothes from somewhere?" (As opposed to...?)

"What does stuff cost?" (shall I read every price tag in the place to you?)

"I need to get a new boyfriend so someone will buy me stuff"
