Title: A Post-Apocalyptic Retail Wonderland aka ​Saks OFF 5th

If retail therapy is what you're after, step right up, my friends. And by therapy, I mean the type that leaves you questioning your existence and possibly clinging to your last shred of sanity, then Saks OFF 5th is the delightful dystopia you have been searching for.

Let's start with the aesthetics, shall we? The best way to accurately describe it is as if the "Saw" franchise received a poor budget and decided to film in an abandoned retail store. Not a mannequin in sight, with bare racks stretching ominously to the horizon. The unkempt hangers lay strewn across the barren landscape, only adding to the apocalyptic vibe. Seriously, it's like every garment mouldered and left without a note or anything. Even tumbleweeds seem to have moved to better real estate.

Now onto the sound design. I'm not sure who the genius behind it was, but the rusty grating soundtrack courtesy of the air-conditioning unit kept me jumping at shadows the entire time. It was almost musical, but then again, my definition of "musical" isn't clattering sounds that invite tetanus just by lending them an ear.

Their love for minimalism wasn't limited to just clothes; the store truly embodied the Spartan spirit. At the checkout counter, I half expected John Kramer's craggy voice to crackle over the speakers, giving his infamous, "I want to play a game" intro. The game, in this case, was trying to locate an item - any item.

So, my fellow brave and possibly desperate shoppers, if hunting for unseen clothing treasures, while haunted by rusty HVAC systems and the eerie absence of life sounds like your idea of a grand day out, then by all means, embark on this thrilling escapade to Saks OFF 5th. But remember: your survival is not guaranteed.

We're in town for a huge gala and we packed light so decided to go have fun shopping. I saw a cute wallet in the case but there was no one around to ask for help. Then we all needed some nice shoes. My kids and I went to try on some heels. I found the perfect pair of Louboutins but I did not see any in my size. I stood there walking back and forth and again there was no one around to ask. I told my kids to go try on shoes and pick out one that they like. I finally saw an older lady restocking the shelves and ask her if there were other sizes in the back. She said no and immediately went over to my son and told him "not to play with these shoes because they are very very expensive". I would be more understand if she went to the both of them since they were both trying on heels, but she targeted him directly as the one "playing" while my daughter was also next to him trying on shoes. So since he's a boy he can't try or wear heels? I let him dress how he wants and if he wants a pair of heels for the night then that's his choice. Just because he's a male doesn't mean he's playing. Sure they're laughing and joking around, but they're KIDS and assuming he's playing just because he's a boy is rude. There were a ton of designer dresses that I wanted to try on as well but we left and found much better at North Park's...

Shopping for my Grandsons Birthday, hard to find sizes but once found it was locked on a wire. Mind you the whole time we were looking you could tell undercover security. The nice found I said something to one of the men who I felt was security. I was correct he said something to employees who I now know as Bobby. Advised what we needed he unlocked the $220 item my grandson followed Bobby to dressing area. To my surprise Bobby stood outside dressing room door I asked why he said ooh just making sure he can fit . He then walked away. While I was waiting to see fit outcome I observed a woman basket full of items also noticed a women with mink coat and shoes in her basket . Grandson came out and we decided we wanted item. Bobby took item to counter and said he would keep item and item would be here when ready to purchase. Remind you others had a full basket but my Grandson item Was kept behind the counter. Standing in line notice others with items in hand but remind you my “Brown” grandson ONE item had to be kept behind the counter. I will be canceling this card I even had another incident back around Christmas, but this incident is hurtful that my grandson had to experience. Tired of racism folks being separated treated from color of his skin. Canceling card I will not step in...
