Shop Till You Drop
Shop Till You Drop: A Dead-End Job Mystery | Elaine Viets
7 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Once on the fast track to success, Helen Hawthorne is now going nowhere fast. She traded in her chic life for a shabby one. And now she's on the fun, jumping from city to city and dead-end job to dead-end job, trying to stay one step ahead of her past... After two weeks as the new salesclerk at Juliana's, Fort Lauderdale's ultra-exclusive clothing boutique, Helen still feels out of fashion. And since the only crime likely to be committed around here is being old-or worse, looking old-Helen figures she is safe. Until she discovers the manager has been embezzling money and selling designer drugs along with the designer clothes. Add murder to the mix-and Helen's dead-end job is downright deadly.

For some reason The Corner That Held Them would not work during my lunch walk, so I listened to my nighttime book during that walk. I figured out the problem before my evening walk so I switched back. I was waiting for it to rain every minute of both walks, but it held off. #audiowalk

Day 23 - #shoptilyoudrop #fallintoreading

I hate shopping! I am not a Black Friday shopper! I do my shopping online!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Me either!!! 6y
AmyG You couldn‘t pay me to shop on black Friday. 6y
ReadingSusan Same. I hate, hate, hate shopping and I feel irrational rage seeing all my cousins shopping on THANKSGIVING NIGHT. WHY OH WHY DO YOU NEED TO SHOP ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT? 😡 6y

Amabear In part of my town there is “buy nothing day” on Black Friday, which is basically a rejection of the holiday. AND they added a really really free market, where everyone brings free stuff, and takes free stuff, and it‘s a testimony of how sharing and trading can be way more sufficient and humane then mass consumption of productsfrom box stores.It‘s always beautiful and full. Amazing. You don‘t have to take to share, or share to take. Plenty for all 6y
Soozee What a brilliant idea. ❤️ 6y
vkois88 Black Friday in my store is pointless, bc the sales are the same as every other day. And people can be so hateful about it for no reason... I enjoy shopping during this time bc I have a limited budget and can purchase a few things I may not otherwise be able to (stuff for the house, a couple of extra trinkets for fun family gifts, etc)... but I can't imagine being hateful to someone just for cheap stuff. I try to be super nice bc I know it sucks 6y
EadieB @vkois88 I think it‘s also a dangerous time to shop because people have lost their lives trying to get into the stores when they open and then they grab and fight over items. Crazy! 6y

So, empty purse & much pain later and I‘m ready to wrap my #cupidgoespostal gifts so I can put them in the mail tomorrow, along with my PBC rotations. Those mobility scooters are fun to zip around the shops on, but god it makes me feel old. Plus most shops aisles are so narrow & jampacked that it‘s impossible to get in there on it. I tried Typo & ran into one of the tables so hard I nearly knocked everything off! #movebitchgetouttheway

Alright, I‘m going to bed guys, tomorrow is a big day! Wish me luck, I‘ve hired a motor scooter to zoom around the shops with(still can‘t walk far with my knee☹️). This is Westfield Penrith Plaza, my daughter works here too so I‘ll be hitting up as many stores as I can before having lunch with her. There‘s a QBD Books, a Dymocks, Typo, T2, Smiggle, Dusk, & many more awesome stores to spend my money in. Can‘t wait🚨🛵💨💨💨

Dragon Have fun @Lizpixie ! 7y
