Gratuitous Black Friday Retail Horror Story Post
If we’re telling retail horror stories, here’s mine:
About 20 years ago I worked at FAO Schwarz on 59th street. The one with the clock tower. But that’s a story for another day.
We had just finished setting up a new shop specializing in beautiful gifts for newborns. There were cashmere blankets and gold plated teething rings. It was exquisite. There were cream satin tufted...
