Macy’s Snafu Leads to Enlightenment
Take a close look at my new skirt. I bought it at Macy’s and until I wore it to a party, I didn’t notice that the saleswoman had never removed the shoplifting gizmo and it hadn’t buzzed when I walked out of the store. I was so annoyed. At the party, I was trying to hide it with my pocketbook. And then I thought, What the heck? I showed everyone and told the story and it became a party favorite. Each new guest cracked up when they saw it. I actually couldn’t bear to part with that gizmo. I wore the skirt again that week and found out that when I went into a store and the clerk spotted the gizmo on me, he waited on me fast to get me out of there. See how an inconvenience can end up working to your advantage?

I finally remembered to look at the comment portion of my website. Thank you so much for commenting. Love, Rochelle

Dear Rochelle, it happened to me too. I did not notice it and wore my jacket to the same store. Can you imagine the embarrassment when they caught me, the ‘shoplifter’? I did not have the bill with me so I could not prove anything. However, luckily I was allowed home without minus coat and had to bring them the bill. Unlike other times it was fortunate that I did not throw out the bill and had my coat returned to me. The saleslady got a dressing down and I got lots of apologies.

Dear Judith, I checked my comments on my website and found this. I used to get emails when there is a comment so excuse the delay in response. Walter saved every bill. He was a model for us. Love, Rochelle

Thanks. I got your reply. My brother-in-law managed to get a gift certificate when it happened to him. He’s much better at deal-making than I am.
