Assumptions about the way people shopped- notably that they bought everything from the same store - were shattered.

Caves states that critic Thomas Frank , author "The Conquest of Cool" while he was browsing into San Fransico's flagship store there was Old Navy signs that would exclaim "priced so low, you can't say no," (268,Cave). The look on Franks face was in fact not conniving enough to be seduced by Old Navy's signs. Cave quotes, "Oh God, this is disgusting," (268, Frank) I disagree that it is disgusting.
My favorite story was the emergence of throwing away. I find it funny how everyone was okay with sharing cups that were barely washed out or hardly ever cleaned after someone else would use them and then all of a sudden “health cups were created” then there was the emergence of Dixie cups. This story is a perfect example of how things change and evolve over time. It’s almost like nowadays people will create anything for a dollar. They are trying to fix what’s not broken so to speak.

Alli Schoon Professor Haines English 099 252 10/15/12 Woman versus men shopping For women shopping can be a pleasant and fun experience, especially when we see a sale on an item that we have been wanting to buy. I think it is a little different for men because some men find it boring and they hate to walk through a crowed mall. Females are very indecisive when it comes to shopping because we can’t make up our minds about what we want to get. Males know what they want and pick only that item up. Ladies can take hours getting one item, while men can get five items in twenty minutes or less.
