another conversation.

this time, with a co-worker. via msn messenger.

co-worker: i'm going to rei after work. fun.
aubry: rei is plenty fun for some people. just not me.
co-worker: you could learn to like it.
aubry: i could... but why...?
co-worker: because it's good for the soul.
aubry: i could make the same argument about nordstrom.
co-worker: you can't compare the two.
aubry: yes. yes, i can. expensive merchandise. attracts a niche market. both have customers who like to spend hours in the store. amazing return policies. killer rewards programs. specialized customer service...
co-worker: now, that's the reaction i was looking for!

*bully...!*

aubry: don't ask me to talk about nordstrom unless you want a serious reply.
co-worker: can't diss the makeup counter!
aubry: when emily the dior girl stops hooking me up, i will ditch my loyalty to the counter. until then...

moral of the story: don't mess with nordstrom, yo.
