Since Olney doesn't have a mall, online shopping can be blessing.
As a surprise, my husband ordered me a pair black dress pumps from
Nordstrom. Unsure of my size, he snooped around in our closet and guestimated
what size to order.
A week later I opened the package, delighted to
find the new pumps ... which were
a half size too small. The package had free return shipping, so all I needed to
do was repack the shoes, attach the enclosed prepaid, pre-addressed UPS form
and drop it off at the UPS store by Rite Aid here in Olney.
"You don't have to do that," my husband said. "I
can return them to Nordstorm at Montgomery Mall on my way to work."
"No, that's okay -- the UPS store is convenient here in town," I
replied.
My husband thought for a moment and then nodded. "True. Plus
what would salespeople think about a middle-aged man returning a pair of
ladies' evening pumps?"
"Just tell them that the shoes were too small," I laughed. "They can
guess too small for whom."
