When I pass a Dicks Sporting Goods, I always say, “Man, I hate Dicks”. My daughters find it funny. We also refer to Wal-Mart as Wally World or Wallypalooza. But yeah, its weird that there aren’t dresses at Dress Barn or pottery at Pottery Barn, and you can’t buy a Home at Home Depot either.

As Paris Hilton so eloquently stated, “Do they sell walls at Wal-Mart?”

Here were I live… I never found any companies for sale at “Companys”, nor any dogs / clothes made from dogs at “Blue Dog”… and at the Outlet there’s of course no mountain lions at “Puma” or fuel at “Diesel”…

Strange. Never heard of the Dress Barn before. After I read this, I had a client mention that she shops at the Dress Barn. Synchronicity!

I’m cracking up as I’m reading this! My husband once saw a discussion thread that I was posting to, where we heavier women were advising another about where to shop. Dress Barn was one of my suggestions, and my husband said, “What a name! And they sell PLUS SIZE clothes there? What does that make their customers?”

I promise you it hadn’t occurred to me until he made that comment — I just figured, “store is as big as a barn.”

A few years ago, they had a very nice selection of dresses, and not just around Christmas and Easter. I’ve been losing weight, so I haven’t been shopping for a while, but the last time I went in, I was disappointed, too. They had nothing but various types of t-shirts, pants, shorts, and shirts. No dresses at all.

Did you really say “I bid you good day”? I imagine it something like a Willie Wonka thing - “I said good day!”

You must have gone to the crappiest of crappy Dress Barns. My local Dress Barn is awesome, has totally nice people who work there, and always has amazing dresses that I look awesome in. I am sorry that your Dress Barn is poop!

There’s a store that came to my town just about a year ago called Moonstone. I thought it would be a really cool beadery… It’s a furniture rental store!
