 |
|
Now I feel like it�s Christmas. We saw absolute pandemonium at Costco today as Korean women lost their minds over a shipment of leather boots. I haven�t seen anything go that crazy over shoes since I left the US. Going to a 50% off sale at Shoe Carnival will put the fear of the Lord in you. Stand back and watch the fur fly.
At Costco, they were yelling and screaming as they were trying on the �USA sizes.� Anyone else see it? |

| Have you ever tried to buy a pair of boots in Korea? They're either really cheapy made and crazy painful which is basically anything you buy outside of the most expensive section of a department store, or they are ridiculously expensive and okay quality at a department store. I would have thrown a good elbow or two to get my hands on some quality reasonably priced boots, which Costco was it?!? |

Eh. Until Koreans start trampling to death workers, they are really just noobs in comparison to American shoppers. |

| I saw 4 Koreans hovering over a small plate of peaches during a demo., they were the only ones who got the sample. I made a comment and the lady gave me 1/4 of a peach. They were just "pigging"out. |

Some department stores in Cheongdam have a sale a few time a year. Blowing out last year's fashions at 80% off.
There the ajummas go absolutely crazy. A lady will grab an entire box and physically attack anyone who tries to touch it. My brother in law went there with my wife and proceeded to get pushed into a cardboard box. |
