BRAND MADNESS

Trailing mindlessly behind my teenage son, I ended up trying to escape from renound fashion store 'xxxxxxxxx'Looking incongruously like a beach house from outside (wierd within the synthetic confines of a plastic shopping mall) inside felt like a Hungry Horse eaterie in a power cut, all the tables adorned with dim retro lamps and retentively neat piles of unremarkable sweaters.
Peering myopically, it proved impossible to locate the essential (for me at any rate) data of price, not due to the gloom, but due horrifically to the sneaky store policy of not exhibiting this information.One is supposed
to be too cool amd too prosperous to consider such an enquiry relevant.!
From the stories I've head, and the situations I have witnessed in daily life during this recession, I can only guess that it is the store's (successfully accomplished) objective is to reap rewards at a point prior to it's lemming like customers leaping into an abyss of financial ruin, consoling themselves as they plummet  they are at least wearing a jumper advertising 'xxxxxxxxx'.
Let's face the fact that there is only 1 reason to shop at xxxxxxxxx, and that reason is : To be seen doing so
and, after being seen doing so, to then assume the role of a common sandwich board in order to publicise
said corporation.(come on people...you would never consider being employed as as a paid advertising sandwich board for a paltry £6 an hour, so why then pay an exorbitant price for said sandwich board and then work for free??)
But heh, something has been gained from my harrowing experience...I'm pretty sure that a snooty
neighbour of mine saw me in aforementioned establishment, and now it follows that he,driver of leased
BMW, husband of surgically enhance wife and addict of local solarium, now realises that I too am SOMEONE!! Perhaps he will now favour me with the "Hello Dahrrling" air kiss each cheek, as with the glamourously brain dead mums at the school gate, all of whom advertise that place for free!!
just one other point, my xxxxxxxxx top is without style merit, I've seen more attractive garments
worn by prison inmates when slopping out.To conclude, the company is not to blame
for innovative marketing strategy, but nobody can deny it's Emperor is  butt naked!! you have to laugh!!
