Yeah, they had – when they went blue and it was like the big – That's all I really remember. I only know the other version from like a book report. Retro shit, yeah. Yeah, business. Yeah, you had to do some sort of – I mean, they had a run.
Some socks. See what they're hiring. Do you remember this? So my mall years were still prize. Your mall years were probably prime, too. I'm talking like for me, mid 90s. Malls were fucking, I mean, that was the hub. Buddy, mid-80s. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's for you, yeah. For sure. I think this was more 90s, though.
The theory, and then you would see from time to time, that stores would have real people as mannequins. Do you remember that? I think Abercrombie did. Certain places did it where they'd get the hot girls from the school or whatever. They might have worked there, too, and they would go put on, like, a dress and just, like, and then move positions every, like, ten minutes or something. Huh.
Yeah, me, too, with all your modeling experience.
You just had to wear a black suit and tie. Oh, you didn't have to wear the clothes from the store? That would be weird if I was dressed up in a Nike fucking warm-up outfit. That would be insane. Nike tech? Yeah. I'm in a pair of 501s and a Harley Davidson shirt. What are you talking about?
But the Gap only carries the Gap clothes. Right, right.
Nothing matches. Guys, if you need any advice on styling an outfit, just hit me up, obviously. Dress like a crazy person. I got to snorkel. Sitting on a washing machine.
You guys want to open up a credit card?
Holding a spatula or something like that. Yeah, I remember that was big. I also remember just like the malls. Because my brother and sister were going to the mall socially. When I was young, that was probably like 91, 92 they would go. Yeah, whatever, maybe 93. They'd get dropped off at the mall or whatever. Man, just like the circling of all the kids from all the different schools.
I remember one kid, he had these spikes, huge spiked hairs. Jesus. What?
No, he would just be at the mall. You would see him at the mall. We'd go to the mall once a week just to like, I don't know. One person out of a family of three between my mom, my dad, my stepmom, my stepdad. Somebody needed something. Somebody needed fucking something. Or just, oh, we'll go to the mall just to get out of the house or whatever. For sure. Kahuna-ville.
We went to Kahuna-ville in the auction rally mall. Oh, my God. Kahuna-ville. Shout out Kahuna-ville. See if you can get any eyes on that. That was great. Not like the Rainforest Cafe, but I think there was only a couple of them. It was like an independent shop. Permanently closed. Fuck! I had a birthday at KahunaVille. Couldn't tell me shit.
All right, this is about all just kinds of shopping. This is from Harvey. Never have one read. Hoagie here. Is it garbage to deny help from an employee even though you definitely need help? I do that. To deny? Oh, like you go in, hey, can I help you with anything? Now I'm just looking and really a question of, hey, do you carry fucking scuba tanks? No.
Yeah, I think certain, I think maybe like full-time employees at some point got commissioned. But, like, the part-time guy. My buddy did it when he worked at Foot Locker. Did not. Did not. But, like, you needed to sell. You needed to help. So, you know, they can tell how hard you're working by how many. That was the way it was explained to me. I could be wrong. Your name gets put in there.
Yeah, it's like, oh, you only helped three people today, whereas fucking Gary helped 100. Everybody said no. I'm just looking. Yeah, but you have to go get the shoes and footlocker. Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's true. You know what I mean? Somebody has to go get them.
Sure. They might work on it. That might be more of a commish-based. I don't think there's a lot of part-time after-school kids working at DXL. You know what I mean? That would be more Macy's, Target, Best Buy. And those kids, I don't think. They don't get commish.
That thing stains like you wouldn't believe. The wear and tear on that thing alone. Be good there. Sure.
I can tell. Really?
That's funny. That's got to be a lot on a 40-pound coat.
I mean, but 1%. To get any real juice off that, you got to be spending like 20 grand in there.
