cornerofmadnessI mean I should have stayed and cleaned or something but like most of the eastern/midwestern US I've been snowed in for weeks and it wasn't snowy today. It was supposed to be in the 60s. It was not. It was grey and cold but otherwise a good day. I really need to find OTHER things to do in Huntington other than shop because I have it to such an art, it takes me longer to drive than do anything else.
I did get myself a Hillbilly hot dog. Which one, they ask as I stand there in my Mothman shirt. Mothman, naturally.
My pull list at the comic book store is done. I'm almost relieved. Found a new one but we'll see. They did have one Hazbin Hotel funko. Vaggi. I looked around for Angel for my friend's daughter. (I personally find Funkos horrifying) Nada.
I picked up a 100$ overpriced Christmas wreath at Michaels for the 25$ it was probably worth.
And then I got mad at Macy's. I look around. It's been redone. I can't see the plus sizes. I ask.
Oh we're not carrying plus sizes any more.
Murder or shock or something must have showed in my face and she babbles. 'oh wait there's still some.'
She points to two fucking racks in the back. What the actual fuck, Macy's? I know the brand is struggling but I HATE buying clothes online. You have to waste all those resources packaging it, gas in shipping it only to find out it doesn't fucking fit or the fabric is a nightmare and have to re-waste all those resources sending it back and most plus size catalogues DO NOT have free shipping/returns such as Roaman's and Woman Within.
This store's ground level floor had been one quarter plus size just a few months ago. I DO NOT know if this is just this store is all of Macy's doing it(I was just at the one back home with it was more like half was plus). This makes NO sense. Why in the world if you're struggling do you wipe out a huge chunk of your patronage. And especially in Huntington WV. I don't know who/why someone does research on the fattest town in America but it's been Huntington WV more times than it's not.
I'm hoping it's just them like the fucking Nordstrom Rack in Columbus OH. I know my friend, JK says Nordstrom carries plus sizes in Boston but Nordstrom did the same thing in Columbus. Went from a full section to a small section to 2 racks to nothing. Kohl's has a pathetic plus section (mostly work out clothes, nothing I could wear to work) Guess I'm back to shopping JC Penny's after 20 years and whatever bizarre shit Tj Maxx has.
Speaking of that, I went to TJ Maxx/Homegoods which was being worked on and I forgot to look for the two damn things I went there for but got more woodened utensils and another sauce pot (there are reasons but they are bad ones) and all kinds of fun goodies, mostly from Italy one of which JK would probably fight me in the store over, cannoli filled with pistachio cream and some whiskey and strawberry margarita filled chocolates, Faze(?) from Finland. Both are so good I was eating them like a feral raccoon in the car if there had been more I would have went back for them.
