Thus, to this day in France and Germany, you the customer must greet the shopkeeper effusively if you have any hope of leaving with a purchase, because you are stepping into their personal space. OK, this is interesting, but it doesn't explain department stores and supermarkets. Tis a puzzlement.... Actually the staff in wine shops in Paris are getting a lot more sociable, come to think of it.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-65117515524904097082012-02-03T19:14:58.727-05:002012-02-03T19:14:58.727-05:00Hilarious conversation in the store!

I've seen whole school trips standing on line in sub-zero weather just to get <i>into</i> their 5th Avenue store. I imagine they believe, as only teen fans can, that inside the stores it's just like the ads only more so.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-773905376139828802012-02-03T10:49:10.575-05:002012-02-03T10:49:10.575-05:00Oh, that's hilarious!!

I never commented but your blog is the one I enjoy the most.<br /><br />When I was in Paris last year I saw many French kids (elementary age) wearing Abercrombir & Fitch graphic tops and was wondering..."they have the best kids clothing in the world (had been buying Catimini for my two girls since their birth) why Abercrombie?" Maybe those graphic tops sell very well there?<br /><br />Thanks for the good laughs this morning!Jihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790206914795244398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-57451466844179636722012-02-03T09:18:42.098-05:002012-02-03T09:18:42.098-05:00Hi, xoxo, I guess anything's possible.Hi, xoxo, I guess anything's possible.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-14746931405026023202012-02-03T09:17:42.567-05:002012-02-03T09:17:42.567-05:00Hi, Lane, well, I can't wish you luck on that ...Hi, Lane, well, I can't wish you luck on that one.
