Last Call

This morning I noticed that there was an add for the infamous Barney's Warehouse sale on the back of my morning Metro, with today being to first day. Having heard of the greatness of this sale, how people camp out for it, and that it is THE sale of the year, I was pretty excited. I got out of work 30 minutes early and decided to make my way over there. SEVERE DISAPPOINTMENT! Not only was it jam packed with people, but it was no bigger than Austin's Neiman Marcus Last Call. It also didn't have the selection of designers, size selection, or the price reductions of my beloved Last Call. So, this disappointing sale is just another confirmation for me that New Yorkers are willing to pay anything for something with a name brand on it. Marked down from $500 to $300 is not a sale. Marked $500 to $100 is a sale. New Yorkers take note!
