Greatest rip off known to man
Really... if they don't get the highest #@%#$ profit margins off of these items, I don't know how a Target type store stays in business...
We spent $15 each on a new pair of shoes for the kids tonight because they need an extra pair at school for when the ones they came in get dirty and wet. $15 for something they aren't going to be able to wear for more than 4 months???
The worst part is we couldn't find any cheaper one that didn't have the blinking lights and such or didn't have characters all over them, and I'm sure that's part of the markup. Considering they had adult shoes there which used 2-3 times the resources for basically the same price ($15-30) that we paid for two, you've got to be wondering what's going on especially since that extra money isn't going to the workers.
Oh yeah, I also picked up some DVD's too (one of my weaknesses). We grabed Life of Brian which I have never seen (the older DVD not the special anniversary one), the 30th anniversary of Blazing Saddles which I always seem to be drunk whenever I try to see it, and The Wiz if for no other reason than to show my kids what Michael Jackson looked like before the aliens got him.
I swear if I ever get a chance to finish that Masters in Media Literacy, I'm going to find a way to work in a critique of The Wiz in there. Just because...
