I love you a lot. Even though I realize that you are a slightly evil corporation and your bathrooms are kind of depressing even on the rare occasions when they are clean, you pay my rent and have such consistently kickass merchandise that I honestly never get sick of looking at it or stop being excited about your clearances.
However, I have a few issues with your selection that I have been wanting to discuss for awhile now. The entire point of your existence seems to be that you are a place where people can get everything they want or need at once, within reason. At the same time, they should not have to wade through a bunch of crap that nobody with good taste would ever want to buy. Although it is true that even people with poor taste are part of your intended demographic, their needs should be secondary to those of the rest of us. Therefore, I believe that you should focus on stocking items including, but not limited to, the following:
-Aprons
-Bookends
-Ping-pong balls
And diverting your focus from items such as these:
-Really fugly bedding
-Decorative bunches of sticks
-Dog apparel
I realize you will probably not care about my opinions, since I am a mere sales floor team member who can not afford to buy the $125 jeans whose presence is so ridiculous that a high school friend of mine emailed me specifically to ask about them, but still. WTF.

In other news, I have been perusing the Death Note section of the Pit lately, and it is uncharacteristically fantastic. Nearly everything there is at least decently-written, and in fact some are not only readable, but actually pretty amazing.
