It is cool. I had a nice conversation with the clerk as well, if you care to know. I was in confused wonderment over all of the specials. I asked "Sir, do I get this 25% off card for free? No charge!?" (the sir and exclamation point are for effect, I apologize). He said "No charge; it's valid through Monday." I could feel a twinge in my loins. I had just wanted two ties, seeing as how my collection is ruined because I am a simple man who does not think to remove ties from laundry hampers. But now? With 25% off? I go to the tie clip section. They're in little boxes, like jewelry. Which seemed excessive at the time but who am I to judge? I'm sure their marketing team did a study or researched the market and found that this faux presentation made their product seem high class. And they were fucking-a right it did. I perused the selection and made my choice; a silver piece with some subtle engraving but nothing flashy. A tie clip of substance. It says "I'm here, but not to cause trouble. I'm an earnest, hard working man but I'm not afraid to throw a few back on a Friday on the clock." I go back to the counter where I had previously purchased my ties. My friend the counterman was helping someone else. I spent a good five minutes walking through the store looking for an open customer service station. One had a couple, consisting of a heavyset woman and a man who had obviously given up on life, buying five bowls. Negative, keep it moving Dan. Next some old lady was buying sequence dresses. Another non-starter. Wait. What's that in the corner? An open servicewoman, that's what. I dart over, through the women's section (bras hhehehe) and make eye contact. That's right, lady, I'm here to buy shit. I make my purchase and leave with two Macy's bags and an overload of swag.
