Payless Shoe Source

Let me start by saying «I hate Payless Shoe stores». Ordinarily I buy my shoes next door to payless at a small independently owned shop that charges me an arm and a leg for dressy shoes. However, there are some things that you just can’t buy American made in this neighborhood. Just today (New Years Eve), in a real moment of first world desperation, I was able to get a pair of flip flops for my trip to the Banya later. WOW! What a relief I can get a product like that in the dead of winter on such short notice ;) I just marched my little tush in there knowing they would provide.
I was right! In the midst of all of the cheap plastic and faux leather I was able to get a pair of flippies in my size for under $ 15. When I saw those plastic jewel embellishments shining under the harsh fluorescent lighting, I know I had reached an all time shoe low. Ok. #endofshoesnobbery
So why do I give this otherwise lackluster shoe store with not a single American made product FOUR stars — because their staff is so nice. Seriously, for a group of people that work for a huge corporation that notoriously has bad turnover rates, they are extraordinarily upbeat and cheerful. These ladies don’t get paid well but they don’t take it out on the customers. Thanks gals!
