Shopping so far

BEWARE 56K DIAL-UP USERS

I've so far found all the stores with ease.

Uniqlo, it's basically like American Apparel but a bit bigger and a bit more homo. As I approached an employee about where the men's jeans were located, another male employee quickly grasped him from behind and groped him which was a bit awkward for me and much more awkward for him

Then I made my way to supreme. I pulled on the door and it didn't budge and the employee just stared at me through the glass window. After about 10 seconds of pacing on front of the store I decided to push, and what do ya know, it opens. So I go in and get some stuff and as I sign the receipt because I pay with debit, the employee just leaves. Great service *-___-

Stussy store is pretty cool, much bigger than the one on Haight. Some kid goes in and asks for a shoe and gives the employee an attitude. Cursing ensues. let's see... a memorable quote from the store. This has nothing to do with the drama but the employee goes "I'm gonna go in the back and eat this banana...no homo". heh

I then found my way to the kid robot store, oohwhee there are two floors and much more toys but sadly no free stickers. oh well

I am now at the apple store updating you on all that has gone on so far

Pictures to come tonight



OH kay.

so after the apple store, I headed over to Kid Robot in hopes that there would be some free stickers. It's much bigger than the Haight one with two floors and much much more stuff along with stuff done by artists.

self-portrait hmmm.. that's a cool mirror though with the kid robot light

Then headed over to APC with their reputation for fine denim, browsed a bit and decided I really didnt have enough money not to say that this was the first store with actual helpful people. The guy was more than happy to help me with denim

Found the Union store next. Nothing really spectacular, just the regular minimalism approach like most shoe boutiques..



now along the way, I lost my uncle and aunt. Okay I lied, I ditched them at the first store we went to. Now on the way back towards my search of the tio's, I found BBC!!! was pretty cool, but the first thing I noticed, it smelled like fresh ice cream cones. I heard they also give out free ice cream every now and then


alright alright, it's lunch time and what do I do? I commit THE cardinal sin, I eat mexican food in New York. there really is no such thing as good mexican food in new york. -sigh-, oh well

after that I find Nort Recon. Gotta say this is one of the cooler looking stores with a clear wall of shoes and behind it you see their whole stock room. Also, they had a giant case full of limited air forces like the stash series of course along with a few others

Clientele was really cool too. Super nice staff, friendly and approachable. pretty simple set up in the store too
premium laces just gave me free stickers, nothing too special

Finally, I hit up Dave's Quality Meat, by far the coolest looking concept store with a whole deli case with shrink wrapped tshirt's, meat hooks to hang merchandise, and giant slaps of steak, also very friendly guys recognizing this little kid from the bay coming in and talking about "show this guy how we do it presidential in the bay". yea , okay
