Women were hoarding bags they had grabbed which had a sense of unnecessary greediness to it. There had been no verbal sparring or rudeness... just a bit of greed. There was some good behavior too. Several taller women were actually helping those of us who are shorter grab items on the upper shelves etc. It wasn't all bad. It was that one woman, who by the way, was of white /anglo decent, who was so badly behaved. I suppose it only takes one, hyper focused, self obsessed individual to be obnoxious to quell the fun. BTW.... Someone should have said something to those women at the Theory Sale. A few choice words would have embarrassed them and perhaps a few words to management at the sale too. At the LF Warehouse Sale there is so much product and sales help that everyone is happy. Conversation are struck up, new friendships are formed. It's really nice to watch. Though everyone is out to grab a deal, there isn't that sense of dire, dog eat dog urgency. S.

It was a ghost place, lots of those $292 bags on the shelves you mention. Nothing in this world is worth that kind of aggression. The Middle Eastern women do that kind of thing worldwide, I`ve seen them do it in London`s Harrods sale. The only way to avoid it is go later & miss the early deals. Or set your alarm for 5am, wear knee/elbow pads & a fierce expression. Surreal really. There are people dying in earthquakes, typhoons,wars & you have women over here ready to kill for a handbag! Says a lot about America. As we had been to other warehouse sales the day of the Fiore sale, we went there about 45 mins before they closed.

She is 40-50 yrs of age, thick-built and short light haired. She was snapping her fingers and yelling at the workers bringing out shoes, so she would get every new pair that comes out and nobody around her stood a chance. I am sure if you were standing near the size 6s, you know who I am talking about. She annoyed the employees so much that they wouldn't give her any more shoes (she already had 20 pairs in her bag!) I walked away with nothing because looking at her behavior and rudeness made my stomach turn and not want to be one of those CRAZY Ladies. Also couple weeks ago at in the Theory showroom DT, this pair middle aged Persian ladies went in right at opening and took about 1/3 of the clothes on the rack into their huge pile so nobody else will get to look at anything. The staff told me that they do this everytime and staff is tempted to tell them to put things back because they usually only end up buying a couple pieces, if any, out of everything they pull off the rack. I can't wait for the staff to put them in place one of these days. "Ladies" there is no need to be ugly over a deal, mind your manners.

It was crazy. I was in line by 7am and was very close to the front of the line. You weren't the only one who felt like everyone had already picked out all the bags you wanted. As close as i was, I still felt like next time I will be the first in line. Everyone was a little too agressive this time around. Its ok, we'll get them next time!!! I agree! It was crazy.
