I also don't like that J. Crew offers only student and teacher discounts. Like students need discounts? They get all that student loan money and stuff! And what about the rest of us who don't make much better than teachers' salaries and who also work in equally noble professions? What about those of us who make less than what teachers make?

Yeah we do

Duh. Otherwise dudes wouldn't have to take out loans.

Why do you think most college kids live off ramen.

To feed their denimz habits?

So they can afford to buy expensive drugs and have a lot of beer money? Oh, yeah, and what tonio said.

 

[shadrach]

maybe to pay for our private school 50-55 grand tuition per year?

 

[Robert]

OMG what a waste of money.

Education? Or Private university tuition?

I don't understand why more American students don't come up to Canada. Even at "international" rates you're still paying maybe C$14k a year, and for some bizarre reason everyone has heard of McGill in the States, if not U of T & UBC, all commonly in the top 50 of those "world's best universities" lists.

New policy for Jcrew should be:

If we've misled you into believing that you purchased something only to find out X days later that you're not getting it, we'll either promise it to you in the future at that price or provide you with any similarly categorized item of your choice for the same price in the same size.

Also, way to completely lose your **** over an inventory mistake.

Nobody cares what your argument is, Robert. Nobody cares.

Funny you should say, because I had a word with jcrew and everything worked itself out nicely. **** smells good on this side.
