The Irving mall is a dump

I'm calling for the closure of the Irving mall at this hour.

I went there at lunch to try and accomplish two very simple tasks.

1. Purchase the Ray DVD from Circuit city
2. Get two shirts on the same receipt for my cleaners to reimburse.

Easy right? ...Wrong.

Foleys didn't have my size in any of the shirts I liked, and they suggested I try Dillards. Dillards looked like a hurricane had ripped through there and I was actually relieved when none of the 500 employees offered to help me or even acknowledged my existence, because I was ready to leave when I saw the state of the place.

Okay well forget that for now let's grab Ray and jet. Circuit city was sold out of Ray. Mind you it's 1:30 on the release date, they open at 10. Did you not think a few people might be interested in this one? WTF?

So up the road 1/2 mile to Best Buy where I got to pick one of at least two hundred copies of the Ray DVD for only one dollar more than CC.

Circuit City I'll see you in the board room and somebody will be fired.

Why oh why do I ever buy anything besides gas at brick and mortars? My way in this world is buying such things online in a the hassle free environment of cyber space.

On Christmas Eve 1994, I remember covering a gang-related shooting at the Irving Mall while working at the Star-Telegram. A father eating pizza at the food court was killed during the gunplay. I'm surprised the mall has lasted this long as it was ghetto ten years ago.

It's had a face lift, but it's still weak.
