New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

it's more difficult tho - i'm not sure if the easy tee that i like in store is on sale. i might get it if it were!

they should list them all online and then put "in select stores only" on the items that are only in stores. that would definitely generate more intrigue/interest in the items and in their stores!!

i used shoprunner for the first time outside of drugstore.com on ninewest. laugh out loud kinda nice to get it so fast!
the store i went to didn't even have everything signed correctly today. i'm pretty sure stuff is the same price as online. it is difficult to shop there.

it's pretty sad when we know more about the prices than the store. i remember asking if a dress was on sale last year because it was online. sa said no and i got her to check anyway. turned out i was right. they suck shake head.

oh, they never do. i always see different ones... but when they have the signs wrong you can sometimes get them to honor the signage. i got them to honor a 30% off dresses sign when it was only select dresses - that's how i got my ponte knit sheath for cheap in store. i also got them to do that on a pair of sunglasses once.

i think it's really stupid that they switch around their store so much tho. like, their cash register is a round thing... and they keep changing where the line is, at least at my smaller store. it's so annoying bc it's always in a different place when i go (and i go pretty often) and the last time i went the line barrier was gone altogether, which caused a lot of confusion. i didn't know where to wait! they should stop changing stuff up and use all that time/energy into learning what the promos are and using the correct signage. shake head

YES. DBF and I got into spats about shades of colors. His argument is that guys just don't care that much to differentiate the colors! shake head
DH and I do too, but he can't even make it into the secondary circle of colors ( mix 2 primary colors). So Orange and Red are the same color to him, as are blue and purple. I have learned not to refer to anything solely by its color. Oye. Facepalm

i agree. stores change things up so that the customer will look. customers now look online so i don't know if that old theory is still good. maybe works with other customers. most of the time my stores don't have stuff signed. today some of the 30% off shirts were signed 29.50 and they are 23.xx or something like that. i don't see many mistakes in our favor. just makes coupon use confusing. i guess some customers like it when their stuff rings up cheaper but it would annoy me because of coupon figuring laugh out loud.

that's what i normally see. it's so annoying.
my smaller store puts clearance stuff into regular sections. they don't seem to tag the clearance items when the returns come in like the bigger store i frequent. that's how i'm sometimes able to find good stuff in that store, like my brown welt pocket pencil skirt in 0. i'm sure that would have sold out super fast in the clearance section, but it was just hanging on a normal rack.

i've gotten into the habit of knowing what's on sale and/or checking on my phone when i'm there. i have issues connecting to data from my smaller store tho, so it makes things difficult sometimes. but i have also just asked them to scan stuff to see what it comes up as.

it was like the limited - they didn't have any signage advertising the $12 cami. they probably would have sold more if they did. i asked if it was on sale and she said 'no, it would be regular price, 26.90'... and then she was wrong. laugh out loud

that would annoy me laugh out loud. i've never saw them put clearance with regular stuff. i look on my phone too but when you start doing that i normally get annoyed by some stupid sa asking if i need help. i want to say go sign you farkign store and that would help but i'm nice and just say no thank you.

sometimes i've been known to reorganize stores when i'm there... Shutup laugh out loud

i saw a clearance shirt hanging with other shirts and i really wanted to move it. they also had clearance tights in the regular tights section so when i was trying to use my 15 off anything q's i got a surprise... luckily they let me use them on clearance that one time (it was a noob).

I actually get really annoyed if I go in a store and things have been moved around because it wastes my time. I'd like to go in and out real quick and get what I need over with!

laugh out loud I feel you too! I used to try to put them back in the same size orders, but at one point, I just said screw it! They need something to do!

hehe that's annoying too. especially when u see something you haven't seen before so ur not sure which section it belongs to. but at least the non-clearance won't have stickers on them so you know right away.
