Very Confusing Day

I needed some new workout clothes, because I haven’t bought anything much since the pandemic began. I’m glad I went, because there were some really good sales going on. The second I tried on the green jacket in the photo, my phone rang. It was my friend from my favorite store, Saks Fifth Avenue. I didn’t answer it. Too busy shopping A minute later, the phone rang from Bloomingdales, my least favorite store. Haven’t shopped there in years and never will again. Didn’t answer. Got home, received 2 phone calls from Bloomingdale’s! Deleted the calls. Then I received a text from my friend at Saks, asking if it was a good time to call me. I told her to call me immediately. She called, and her number came up as Bloomingdale’s! Apparently, she’s working at Bloomingdale’s now. I will stop by to visit her, but told her I won’t be buying anything there. Oh, well.

How can your friend at Saks use a phone of another company?

Oh, she's a real saleslady and I'm a gullible shopper, but not anymore. She wants to go out to dinner with me and hubs and her husband, but I won't bring it up unless she does. Thanks! I really needed some workout clothes and would have paid full price, but the sales were a huge bonus!!!

That was confusing. At least you managed to get what you wanted - and didn't get any unwanted hugs and kisses from the sales assistants!

You must mean my hairdresser. I have an appointment with him in 2 weeks. I do kiss and hug my friend who used to work at Saks and now apparently works at Bloomingdales.

You got that right! I'm bringing the green jacket and pants to CT, because it will be chilly in the mornings and in the fall. Can't believe I'm saying fall! Thanks, me, too. It was so odd!

I can see why that would be confusing. But your friend should also know not to use the store phone to make personal phone calls.

@DianneN Can't say she doesn't know how to do her job. But, that's still annoying.

She was working and wanted me to spend my money on more of her perfume. I'm perfumed out with her, to be honest.

She works for Bond New York, a perfume company. They opened their perfume bar in the cosmetics area. She took the job in Boca Raton mostly because it is in the town in which she lives. She had to fight traffic to Palm Beach before.

@LadyDuck At $495 - $575 a bottle, I think not. I have 7 bottles here, 11 at home, and 3 unopened that were shipped to my son's house and are now waiting for me to open when I get home. 4 were free

Thanks! The green jacket and pants were 50% off and so were the Adidas tops. The others were 40% off, and I really needed them. Bollongdales had a terrific shoe sale when I was last there.

@TheHorse Good luck. We rarely have to use our dried up ink in the printer, but when we do, it's a headache!

That I understand. We need ink for ours, too.

I wonder why she didn’t just call you from her own phone instead. She must not have know your experience with Bloomingdale’s. I don’t think I do either. I love the green outfit on the front left!

She called on her own phone first, but I have no idea. Both phones have the same number. I told her about my experience with Bloomies. Too long to explain here. Thanks! That's my favorite of them all. I'm bringing it home with me, because it's too hot to wear here.

Don't bother. I'm going only to see her, then have reservations for Capitol Grill for an early steak dinner with hubs before it gets crowded. Btw, I wear my mask in department stores, too and haven't tried on a thing in a fitting room.
