I tried to go shoe shopping last week. I went into a shoe store and was dismayed that I couldn’t find what materials any of the shoes were made from. Until now, I’d always seen a tag somewhere on every shoe that would say something like, “All man made materials,” or “Leather upper.” But this time, nothing I saw had any indication of what they were made of… and that troubled me.
So after meticulously studying a shoe, reading everything written on it, I asked an employee about it. I wanted her to see if the box (which wasn’t on the display) had more information.
Instead she took the shoe, pulled up the same label I just read (which only indicated where the shoe had been made), and lazily read the tag back to me before handing it back.
I responded, “Yes, I know,” and held back from saying what I REALLY wanted to say, which was, “Yes, I know how to read.”
Utterly useless. She claimed there was no other information even on the box (without going to look.) I put the shoe back and left, resolved to just buy something online.
