You know who you are!!) All the employees are sittin around discussing how much more they could get for dis n dat and go ahead and put it on E Bay. So I bring up a really cool Eames-ish lamp and the manager tells me "Oh- that needs to go on E Bay"!! And TAKES IT FROM ME and starts to enter it on her computer!!!! Needless to say, I was stunned! My jaw is still draggin! They were asking about $10.00 for it. I'm sure it went for more. Every one around (shoppers) were lookin at each other with wide eyes and puzzled looks. It's like no one knew what to say cuz, yeah, it IS a charity and they give to the needy...so what do you do? But I'm PISSED! I'm needy. I need a lamp.
