Have you ever been to Macy's on 34th NY?

Wow...
We just got back from NY and let me tell ya... you can keep Macy's in December to yourself. Yes, it is huge and beautiful, but the amount of people inside that massive retail store was obnoxious. I was looking for some boots and after the 15 minute trip up to the 5th floor I was overwhelmed by the number of shoes and boots. It took me another 20 minutes to browse through and find the perfect pair, waiting another 5 minutes to find a clerk. Little did I know the journey had just begun. I had to wait 25 minutes for the boots to be brought up to the front. They were a little small, so I flagged down the clerk again and asked how long it would take for a 1/2 size bigger. She says, you should have asked for both the first time. HA - if I would have know the process, I wouldn't even have begun the hunt. But I thought, be patient, be kind and understanding... I sat for another 20 minutes. Ughh! By this time, I didn't have much spunk left in me and the boots just didn't feel very good. I left with the shoes I came in with.

Moral of the story - stay away from those big stores during the holidays!!
