...on consumerism...

As part of a conversation on Aritzia and the pressing need for me to shop there:

Farnam: If you shop there a lot you become a preferred customer, and then they have *secret sales* just for YOU.
Me: I think you have to come with me one time. I feel as if shopping at Aritzia needs an "in". Like in a secret society.
Farnam: Can we go tomorrow?
Me: Yeah!
Farnam: Wait, no. I have to go before you. Sometimes, shopping at Aritzia is depressing because there are no sales. Then the whole "you want to spend $200 on Citizen jeans but you know you shouldn't" dilemna happens. I don't want your first time to be like that. I'll go tomorrow and scope it out, then we'll go sometime this week.
