I was in the Bay Area last week and (of course) I did some shopping. I know everyone has different habits regarding what they do when they buy something new. I used to think everyone was like me, until I discovered SweetiePie has the strange habit of not using a new item for months and months after he brings it home. (As a newlywed, I thought he didn’t like any of my gifts….)
Well, not so for me. I like to use my new stuff immediately. I’ll even put my old shoes in the shopping bag so I can wear the new shoes out of the store. Yes, I really do that.
Well, I was able to control myself a little bit better than that on the last trip, and see what it gets me… I get home and unpack my goodies, only to find that my new fancy garment has one of those ink cartridge tags on it. And of course, why do you think I shop in the Bay Area in the first place? Because there isn’t a Nordstrom’s for 100 miles. So what am I going to do? I browsed the inter-web and found the following video. What do you think? Safe? or Not Safe?
Pro: He sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.
Con: He made a shirtless YouTube video.
It doesn’t look like an ink tag – I’d probably go for it…
Good luck!
