I have to be in the MOOD to shop, but when I am, my all time favorite retail outlet for most shit was Saks 5th Avenue (Not the Nord, Not Macy's, Not Eddie Fucking Bauer, not Banana Cream Republic.....)

Notice I typed WAS.....that's due to the fact that Saks' Stock price is tanking in at $3.50 a share, DOWN from this past year's high of 23 bucks a share......

Let me reiterate: WAS $23 NOW $3.50

The store's legendary customary service (they were doing Nordstrom shit before "Nordstrom" meant something other than a Nazi Pep Rally) now resembles date rape when you try to ask for help, check stock or actually return something. And I read somewhere that the company owes close to a BILLION dollars to its creditors....

Saks was one of the bugs in my own personal case of financial crotch itch this past year as people struggle to hold on to what they have. I now secretly hope the company goes under, gets bought at pennies on the dollar by some visionary, perverted rogue Venture Capitlaist/Pimp who reads XPT and hires both myself and Baby g to revitalize the sagging retail market experience by having nude whores throughout the store drawing in a shitload more male clientele, since MEN are the ones with the money anyway....
