Went to the Midwest Shoe Show today 3.18.23 for something that was planned for ALMOST a year! You would think they had plenty of time to plan it much better then what it was.

The front end manager had about ten of us complaining about this new policy. She did end up giving us each two free rides. We still didn't feel 7 rides was worth the...
