Despite more than a decade writing about stores, I've never worked in retail. Although I do have a fondness for folding cashmere sweaters at Dillard's. Hmm ...

Do you have a funny or scary retail-related story you'd like to share? Please do -- just keep 'em clean(ish).

Peace, love and crazy pant fluff ... xoxo

P.S.: My story on "Retail Hell" runs in Tuesday's Scene section, hence this bloggety-blog post. Just FYI.
