- Wow, the Minnesota Department of Revenue sure cashes a check with a quickness. I think the ink was still wet on the check for $259 they practically stole from me when it came back through my bank last week. Jerks.
- Spotted in this week's Northeaster: a coupon for 15% off at El Taco Riendo, "tacos excluded."
- If you live in Minneapolis and you love shoes, you already know that Heavenly Soles is closing. As of this week, all store merchandise is 35% off, and cards and stationery are 50% off. I stopped in a couple days ago and got a new summer handbag, a beaded necklace, 3 stickers and a greeting card for $42.
P.S., I hate that this store is closing. Before I headed over there, I stood in front of my closet and counted six pairs of shoes and 2 (well now 3) handbags that I've bought there in the past 3 years. There's no telling how much I've bought since I started going there; gifts, socks, wallets, shoes that I no longer have. Actually, my T.U.K. black kitty sneakers are from Heavenly Soles, and I've been rocking those since 2002.
- After posting about my experiences at Everyday People and Buffalo Exchange, I received an email from the manager of the latter. She was actually the employee that conducted my transaction, acknowledged the poor customer service provided and apologized for making such a bad impression. I don't know that I'll be headed back to Buffalo Exchange in the near future, but her response did postively alter my impression of the store.
Bummer on HS closing. I guess the "new site launching soon" on their current site is not an indicator of good things to come.
