Crazy Ninja Shoe Thief... Or not

Ok, so I went to DB Shoes today so I could get me some awesome Chuck Taylor Hightops!  Well, ok, originally I went there to find some Keds, or maybe some Levis.  Something that would have a sturdy sole so I could walk around in 'em.  But, after a series of unfortunate and mind melting events, that did not happen.  Here's my story:

I go to the section where they have Keds, pull out my size, open the box, and there's only one shoe in the box.  Bummer.  So, I find a new color, because of course, the one I had been originally looking at doesn't have any more of my size.  I find a new box, open it up, and- only one shoe.  I look through the other boxed of Keds, but no more of my size.  But that's ok, I'll just get some Levis instead.  They're basically the same thing anyways.  I find my size, pull out the box, and.... Only one shoe!  By this point, I was kinda freaked out.  Some crazy ninja shoe thief was stealing all of their shoes!!!!  So I look through allllllll of the Levis, alllllll of the Keds, and there are either no more of my size or only one shoe in the gosh darn shoe box.  So finally, I just give up, and walk to the other end of the store to look at Converse, thinking that maybe my shoe demon was only attacking one part of the store.  While I'm walking through the aisles, I see some awesome hightops!  I've never bought hightops before, I used to think they were reaally funky looking, but now they're just plain amazing.  So I see a pair of hightops, in my size, and pull out the box, only to find, ONE SHOE.  I seriously thought I was going crazy.  I mean, honestly, really??  Apparently I am one severely hated shoe buyer.


Think this is the end?  I thought so too.  But don't worry, it gets happier.


My mom, seeing my distress, goes and asks an employee why there is only one shoe in every box.  And the lady looks at us, smiles, and tells us that because of recent burglary attempts, it's an added safety precaution.  The matches to every shoe, in the whole store, are in storage.  If you want to buy a pair, you go to the cashier and they will bring out the match to you when you make your purchases.  That way, if people try to steal shoes, they really, can't.  So problem solved, right?  I ended up getting my legit pair of All Stars, and then I went home.




This is the end.
