have you ever heard of a shoe company selling you one shoe?

Asked by Riser (3485points) March 12th, 2008 from iPhone

I am shuffling out of costco when I lose a sandel. I go to retrieve it and, I kid you not, a bum has just run up and grabbed it and I’m too slow to catch him. So have you ever heard of a company supplying a single shoe? I have too Manu as is.

They might sell you a display model if you tell them what happened and they have one available. I’m sorry you got ripped off. what in the world does the bum think he can do with only one shoe? I wonder if he is lurking around the corner somewhere hoping you will throw the other one away? That stinks riser!!

I have to admit its kind of funny. I wonder what one does with one shoe.

Take a picture of it and put it in your next book? Throw it at your S.O. when he annoys you? (hopefully it’s soft and floppy…

Oh! I know, attach fishing line to it and leave it near where you left the other and catch the bum!

“to catch a bum” coming summer 2008 (hopefully the old movie buffs here got the reference)

Its nice to know my tax dollars are being put to good use :/

I kinda feel bad for him too – what made him do it? Could he be frustrated and lashing out, being mean? I dunno…

did anybody else get a weird feeling when squirbel said “soft and floppy”? /:

and dan, give him your other sandal

I can’t even find him sheriff. :/ these are nice sandals too. Ugh. I called the company and after the guy laughing for five minutes, it seems this is more common then not and he said if they put me on a waiting list for discontinued models they’ll happily send me a new one. I’ve been a faithful customer of theirs back when they were a tiny local company.

haha, enjoyed reading this. Riser, I like how you said “ground is hot” in topics. I laughed out loud:) i’m sorry he stole your other shoe.. He must have a collection/secret stash of single shoes.
