Consumer whorism is such a drag
Published by Becky S October 11th, 2005 in wtf?Ann Taylor Loft woman: Can I start you a wardrobing room?
Me: You mean a fitting room?
ATLW: Yes, a wardrobing room.

Ann Taylor Loft guy: Would you like me to start a wardrobing room for you?
Me: I already have a fitting room, thanks.
5 minutes later:
Ann Taylor loft guy: You’re ready?
Me: Yep.
ATLG: Your wardrobing room is the one with the black coat hanging on the door.
Me: Great, thanks.
ATLG: Oh, and if you need help with a size or with making a fashion decision, I am happy to assist.

ATLG: Because I noticed that you don’t have a shopping buddy today.

Who’s Ann Taylor and why were you shopping in her loft?
when i shop at ann taylor it’s a drag as well. ba-dum-bump. thanks a lot, you’ve been great.
the joke is that i am a boy and they sell girl’s clothes. ok.
very metal, I am throwing virtual tomatoes at you right now.
Clair, Ann Taylor Loft is a cheaper version of Ann Taylor, or something like that. I go there because it is near work.
Hmm.. I’ve never noticed if they call it a wardrobing room here. I’ll have to investigate this matter further.
“I noticed you don’t have a shopping buddy!!!” What is that? An attempt to make your self-esteem plummet so you will buy more to get a momentary consumer whoredom rush? Or sadness that there aren’t two consumer whores encouraging each other to purchase?
And for the record, all this big butt stuff is ludicrous. I have seen your (clothed) butt in many guises and it has never, ever looked big. Also–that “pout” emotional flavor is more like sex-pot. Big butt indeed.
Miscellaneous note: Time to think about a soup exchange. Yoko, are you in?
I like your “pout” emotional flavor…hubba hubba (do the kids still say that?)
So if you worked near an Army/Navy store you’d be trying on combat boots and such?
Absolutely, Clair. I hate shopping and will, therefore, go wherever is closest. Fortunately, I know of no Army/Navy store in University City.
Thanks, Raul. I look exactly like that picture.
Sassy, I know! I’d like to say that I marched out of the store in a huff, but sadly I bought a bunch of stuff. Somehow I managed to make fashion decisions all by my lonely self.
Jen, I really am curious to know if the “wardrobing room” phrase is an Ann Taylor coporate mandate or something specific to this store in Philly.
I just showed this to The Missus, an Ann Taylor connoisseur, and she said that the Ann Taylor Loft in University City is very very odd.
Hmmm, perhaps I should consider switching jobs.
Becky and Sassy J– by all means, please count me in for the soup exchange! But don’t count me in as a shopping buddy.
