Crazy Friday
Last Friday was soooo C-R-A-Z-Y !!
Remember I went shopping at H&M with my cousin Kimberly? I didn’t mention how crazy the shopping experience was, hun? If you remembered, we got lucky and got a parking spot as soon as we got into the 3-level parking garage, as many cars still circling around in the parking lot.
The target of the shopping trip was H&M. We walked in, not that many people. I thought it would have been flooded with people. Clothes was still pretty nicely folded on display tables and hung on display racks, not messy at all. People were not too crazily grabbing anything they could get their hands on. The line for the cashier was acceptable, and with 4 cash registers, the line was moving in a considerable fast rate. With all that said, have you noticed I left over something? The fitting room. Ladies were in line for the fitting room. From what we could see, there were 10 ladies in line. Then we found out, inside the fitting room area, there were benches and 4 to 5 more ladies seating inside waiting. There were 4 regular size stall and 1 handicap stall. Every ladies had at least 7 items in hand. It took a while, about 20 minutes or so.
After that, we went dinner at Maggiano Little Italy. This restaurant was known for long wait, even if you have made reservations. We thought, table for 2 should be fast. Guess what?
Me: table for 2 please.
Reception: there is a 2 hour wait.
Me: 2 hour? eerrrhhh…. (looked at my cousin)
Reception: but if you can find an open table here in the bar, you can still order from our menu. Table is first come first serve.
Me: OK. Thank you. (looked at my cousin again)
Both of us looking around to find open table as we were walking away from the reception area. I saw a table right next to the reception area, kind of occupied. 4 people gathered around the table, with empty glasses on the table, 2 of the 3 chairs were not taken. I looked at those people as I walked away. Then I turned back and looked at them again as I took another steps. I probably repeated the same move 2 or 3 times. The lady who was sitting in the chair got up, finally, I raced to the table and sat down. Got a table less than a minute. Wasn’t that crazy??
We had a pretty satisfying meal and great desert (to go too)!
Yum… yum… good!
