I went to Dillard’s yesterday after work in order to procure some sample vials, but I was informed they “don’t do that anymore” and they instead offered to spritz a few cards for me instead (but only a few, because paper is a precious commodity, and having worked in a printing department for a few years I didn’t question that mindset). In discussing this with one of my coworkers, who herself is an opulent and well-dressed middle-aged woman, I discovered that this was, in fact, a lie; Dillard’s DOES give you sample vials of perfume if you ask. The catch: you just have to look like the kind of person that could actually afford a few bottles of $200 perfume when you show up.
Having waltzed in in a pink Mario hoodie and smelling like a mix of Tobacco Vanilla texturizing spray and off-brand Tuscan Leather, I can see now why I was deemed unworthy. 😅
#OR: fuck the ladies at dillard’s I no longer have any desire to help them make commissions#I was approached by multiple salesladies like every five minutes and asked if I needed help#I could feel them watching me and thought it was kinda odd how kind and attentive they were being what with it being a busy saturday and al#in hindsight I think they were expecting me to try to steal something 😭 it would explain the vibe of tension I got from them#I lingered by the tom ford collections and one of them said ‘oh! those are for men!’ yes! and I happen to be a man! how convenient!#(also there were just as many women’s perfumes as men’s on display so uh.)#the good news! I’m getting a better and better idea of the things I gravitate towards!#current favorite brands include the aforementioned tom ford and marc jacobs#with newcomers oscar de la renta and vince camuto#victoria’s secret has some shockingly good scents as well! their entire bombshell and very sexy lines are 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻#also I as a fat person in victotia’s secret was treated with greater hospitality than I was in dillard’s which is just. sad#the things I do to fulfill hyperfixations…#peaches screams into the void
