"I Don't Think He Works Here."
I decided on Saturday to replace my ten-year-old adidas Stan Smith's. My beloved, and very comfortable, Stan Smith's.
So after working out on Saturday, I headed off to a athletic shoe store. As I walked in the front door, I was greeted by a young lady who appeared to be 17 or so.
"May I help you?"
"Yes, I was wondering if you might carry Stan Smith's?"
"I don't think he works here."
With that, a manager, who was within earshot, immediately spoke up and informed me they didn't carry the "Classic" model, but rather only the "Millennium." Pish!
Oh well, I did get a good laugh and later was able to purchase the shoes at another store. An enjoyable afternoon of shopping and learning how little some people in a specialty store know about their own products. And I am considering the admonition, "When you find a pair of shoes you like, buy two pair." That may be wise advice regarding Stan Smith's.
