We were there around noon and it was reasonably busy, considering, I had to hunt for a place to park.  The stores did often have 5-6-7-8 salespeople in them looking at their phones.

I have a pair of Hermes ties that are quite old. Grandpas. I like to wear them because I have fond memories of him. Pretty sure he received them as gifts. And that they weren't (inflation adjusted) $1400 at the time. Yikes.

My wife has a plethora of pinatas, I mean Hermas scarves.  I bought her one today, a tiny one, called a tullery, or something like that.

If a mall doesn't have a Radio Shack, it sucks.

But yeah CD, our local equivalent here in Orange County is called South Coast Plaza. 

Tons of stores I've never heard of and probably who don't want me walking in. 

I did totally clown a LV salesperson a few years ago when I bought my wife a new wallet, though. Her birthday is early December so I was coming in a week or so after the Thanksgiving holiday. I bought the wallet and after he'd gone through the whole rigamarole of boxing/bagging it up super fancy and was about to ring me up I said...

..."Man, I can't believe I came this week and missed out on your Black Friday sale!"

It took him a second... But then he realized I was messing with him.
