i hate bin sales.
Why do so many stores think it’s classy to throw their sale items in big bins and then think they’re going to sell the stuff? Honestly, there could be a perfectly nice item of clothing that I would love and want to buy hanging on the rack, but as soon as it’s thrown in a bin, it is not attractive anymore. Even if it is 60% off. I went to Copley w/ my friends tonight and both Express and Victoria’s Secret were having bin sales.
Express basically chucks all their clothes in cardboard boxes and writes the size in magic marker on the front of the box. But it doesn’t even matter what size you are or what the box says because you can guarantee the XS box is going to be mostly full of XL clothes anyway. Every piece of clothing is completely tangled up with every other piece of clothing and it can take an hour just to pick up a shirt you’re trying to look at.
Victoria’s Secret at least uses semi-nicer bins and “professional” prints of the size signs, but every single thing in the sale was pretty much ugly. What is with Victoria’s Secret and butterflies this season? Butterflies=trashy/ugly/creepy to me and I have no desire to have them all over my clothes and underwear. And there were soo many people in the store, it was basically impossible to even get to any of the bins to look at. And once again, right when you think you find a nice pair of underwear in your size, you pick it up only to find it’s a XXL. Plus, who really wants to buy intimate apparel that every person in Boston has already had their grubby hands all over? Ew, not me.
I’ve decided bin sales are a conspiracy to get you into the store to buy the full-priced items. You see a 60% off sign in the window, go in to look, and leave the store having bought bags full of non-sale items. Because they look appealing hanging on the racks or folded and put on shelves. Clothes thrown in bins don’t.
