Future Markdown

Forget 20%, this bitch is headed for the "Take Me I'm Free Table!"

While signing Retail Hell last weekend, I had the utter joy of listening to customers pick up Spiedy's book behind me and comment on it.

Here are some the things I overheard:

"You have got to be kidding me!"

"I'm getting you this for Christmas."

"What the hell?"

"The text is big like a childrens book."

"I'm getting that for the White Elephant Gift Exchange."

"I'm going to vomit."

There were lots of comments, but I did not spy any Spiedy fans taking it to the register. Perhaps everyone already knows their fame secrets: be rich, blond, and obnoxious.

Future Markdown is a new category on RHU. We all see merch in our stores that is so ugly and heinous we just know it's "headed for markdown!" Take a pic and send it in: submit@retailhellunderground.com

I say give it a month and you'll already see it at thrift stores.

They probably thought they were being cute making the cover look like a tabloid, but it really just makes it look like it belongs in the magazine section.

We aren't supposed to carry our cell phones while working and since they put a clock up in the new store, I can't use that excuse to carry it around (thus no pictures yet of the customer rejects I find and there have been plenty). I'll see what I can do though as we have some pretty raunchy stuff in at Christmas right now. *rolls eyes*

Hey, even Paris Hilton made money with her book. Who knows, some people might actually like it. I have no idea what advice they could give than: Be the obnoxious friend of an even more obnoxious girl and than find a guy with a flesh colored beard to marry and be blond with. hahahaha

Good Luck to them. =)

I have thought of buying the Palin book just for a good laugh. However, I would not even buy this to laugh at or as a joke gift, or even to give to someone I hate. They need to dissapear already.

I like this new category. I like it a lot.

..can I just sum it up by taking pictures of stores?

I hate myself for knowing what a Spiedy is.
