An old gem (Feb 2007)

Whoever's been to Primark (especially the one in Hackney) will probably understand why its rating on my personal dream employer list comes to about the same as McDonald's.
Buuuuuuuuut, nothing better than cheapo vegan shoes. So that made me happy. But even better was the wisdom thrown in for free. I overheard a conversation between employees. She: "Are you okay? You look sad. Are you sad?" He: "Sad? Why would I be sad? Life's too short to be sad." Those few words made me smile. But also almost cry. Beautiful wisdom can hurt.
Oh btw, I made them refund the £1 they overcharged me. I'm against hidden charges for services I never asked for. ;) But grateful nonetheless.

Update: I don't buy cheap shoes anymore, it's all about comfort, I blame the age...
