Bloomingdale's

Apr 7th, 2024

Went in last night to the 3rd floor women's dress department to look for prom dresses for my daughter. There were 3 women working who were literally INVESTED in this with us. They even asked my daughter to come back and show them pictures of her all dressed up. She said they were her hype girls and felt very special. Awesome experience, you don't get that shopping online!

So I dress rather modestly, & by that I mean I am often confused with DoorDash delivery men when I walk into my apartment building. Not to knock hardworking delivery guys, it's just, I live here. I'm constantly saying, you know me bro! If there were actual security, I'd imagine I'd have gotten denied entry at some point. It doesn't help that my beard is a worse version of Keanu's patchiness in that it just looks bad. So combine that with my daily work clothes & you can see that I'm always in dire need of fashion assistance. The first time I shopped at Bloomingdales was sometime before COVID. I walked into the store & nervously asked for help. I was fully aware of how disheveled I looked. The griminess radiated off me as I fully expected a Pretty Woman scenario mixed in with a cartoonish act of someone literally kicking me out the front door. To my surprise, a lady immediately smiled at me & said she was of course happy to be of assistance. I told her I shopped once a decade. It was a slight exaggeration, but not by much. I generally walk into a department store & grab whatever generic items catch my eye & head home. In this case, I had a date, & it was due time for a new wardrobe. I explained this all while smacking the side of my jeans as I tried to secretly smack the dust particles off. I tried my best to ignore it & not cough. The sales lady kindly guided me through my cloud of soot into each area of the men's section. She picked out button down shirts, fancy jeans, & a leather jacket. She encouraged me to try them on & I did, feeling immediately like James Dean. That's when I started to realize why people shop. It felt really cool. I felt better about everything, except for the fact that I'd have to put my work clothes back on. Yeesh, I thought, I'll look for a matchbook later. So I opened up a Bloomingdales card & rewards account. It was all easy & straightforward. I had an issue with my credit score at the time & was delighted to see that I was approved for a generous credit limit. I used that to fully upgrade my closet & go out on my date. Fast foward to Christmas of 2023. I still walked around in a cloud of dust & sweat while I worked, but I now had a drawer/closet full of great high quality clothing for my leisure time. The only thing that was missing was a great, look at me I'm rich watch! So obviously I needed a Rolex. Sadly, I'm not rich. So this Christmas gift for myself would need to be creative, but luckily, I had Bloomingdales in the wings. The men's jewelry department had a friendly sales rep. He didn't mind going back & forth as I was incredibly indecisive. The rolex's just didn't look cool enough to warrant the price. Fortunately, he got to know me & started to understand what my style was & what would truly impress me. He asked me if I liked Breaking Bad, I answered who doesn't? He then pulled out a Tag Huer Monaco watch & explained that this is the watch Walter White gets from Grey Matter. I explained to him that I was never a fan of square watches, but the simple yet bold look was incredible. I was sold. We walked over to his register & he ran my card. Not only did he go out of his way to make sure I got all the available discounts, but he helped explain when & when not to use the famous Triple Point days. He was careful to help me in that & I ended up with that, look at me I'm rich watch without having to go sell Meth. To this day, every time I wear this watch, I am always complimented. Bloomingdales took me in when I was living like a pauper & dating whomever was able to look past my patchy Aladdin type jeans. Even though I'm not affluent enough to lobby for congress, I still feel like I'm too cool for school. I even managed to snag a knockout fiance, which I'm pretty certain Bloomingdales had a hand in. What I do know for sure is that I'm no longer being stopped by the Concierge, & for that I have you guys to thank!
