What stores do you guys go to that you think you could spend ALL day wandering around in just looking at interesting stuff??

For me it has to be Home Depot, so much stuff....I could walk around and look at tools/house stuff all day, if I had an endless bank account (I'm close to it...but not there yet ;)) then I couldn't even imagine the amount of stuff I'd buy from that place haha.

I know there was a site around a couple years ago where a guy spent all day at Home Depot and documented all the things he did and reactions he got from employees etc, anyone care to do the same thing?? I'll try and find the link if its still around, definately was an interesting read. He got there when it opened and stayed there right till close just walking around looking at stuff and doing weird things to keep employees wondering why he was there.

So...what store could you spend all day at just browsing/looking/buying if you are rich.

Chapters. I'd just skip around, reading a chapter at a time.

Home Depot's a good one, too. Way too much stuff to mess with!

not rich but I like to put that aside in my mind at times: My Favourite hang-around-for-hours-stores-

Calgary Pilot Supply (mmmm Bose ANR headsets Garmin GPS....)

Revoluzione (they hand out cappuccino while you check out Ducatis and Aprillias. Sweet Heaven)

Chapters or any other bookstore that sells coffee...

Mountain Equipment Co-op.

^ bit off-topic - Blackfoot does have selection, but through being their customer for a while, I find myself avoiding the place whenever possible. They have such a great thing going there - Its just too bad that they have such a dim view of product knowledge and customer service.... I even send away to Regina Triumph for my parts these days....

surprised noone said blackfoot...and for me any shoe store, now yes at first this may seem extremely homosexual but then again how many girls go to shoe stores honestly lots of chicks will think you're a creep but eventually one will start chatting with you and if that dosn't happen you can always steal some shoes and sell them on ebay for 15 bucks.

Yeah exactly. It's not as fun as other places, but you can find so many little things to make life easier around the house. For some reason though, the ones that have McDicks always smell like puke :barf:

No way i could spend an entire day at any of the stores mentioned. Spend 8hrs in one store??? I can only stand like 8 mins in one store before i get bored. It would be different if you had an unlimited shopping spree or something...

Melinda
06-28-2005, 01:39 PM
Chapters, Victoria's Secret or The Camera Store for me. All three would make me spend WAY too much money though!
