I know this reference might not make much sense in a couple of years, but I couldn't stop thinking about how it applied to my visit to the new Zappos outlet.
Imagine: You're walking up and down the aisles, picking up boxes to peruse the contents.
There are price tags but with all of the talk of discounts, you ask out loud, "So how much do these shoes really cost?"
And then comedian Nate Bargatze strides up to you as George Washington, just like in the now viral SNL sketch. He puts a hand on your shoulder reassuringly.
He replies: "Nobody knows."
So it was with that confidence that my husband and I strode to the cash register, supremely mystified if we would be asked to pay $50 or $250 for the three pairs of kids shoes and one pair of adult sneakers. (Thankfully, the bill came to closer to $100.)
We checked out the new Zappos outlet on its opening weekend, when it was advertised shoppers would get an additional 30% off their purchase.
And we found an outlet with a decent number of shoes for adults and kids, plus several racks of clothes as well. I was in a bit of a rush, so we didn't take too long to look, mostly zeroing in on what we were there to find.
This outlet was hopping, but everything seemed well organized and clean.
The only confusion came from the prices, with signs saying there were even more discounts than the 30% off.
I would definitely come back here when I had more time to shop.
