How to Make Shopping Fun

If you find yourself at a shopping mall this weekend and want to have a little fun, go to the nicest department store you can find (Neiman Marcus is ideal) and walk around for a few minutes in search of the most prissy looking shopper you can find. When you think you’ve spotted her (it will undoubtedly be a “her”), walk up to the woman and say, “Excuse me, Miss. Will you please tell me where YOUR restrooms are located?” If you are greeted by a friendly individual who tries to help you locate the restrooms, you have failed. Try again. If you are greeted with a scoff that is coupled with words like, “How am I supposed to know; I do NOT work here,” congratulations on a job well done.

nooo! you have it wrong. you have to go up to the nicest looking lady at the hecht's or kmart and ask where the bathrooms are. the employees at nieman's and sak's are classy looking so that mistaking a customer for one of them is more difficult and less insulting.

What the **** would someone known as "gator girl" (in lower case, no less) know about a Nieman Marcus? I'm not at all surprised, though, to find that she's well-acquainted with K-Mart.

...and i'm not at all surprised by such a nonsensical comment coming from someone whose alias is a city and its state in reverse order
