Here I am wondering how people afford to shop at Nordstrom while also being annoyed by the consumerism bullshit that is a blight on us all.

I have one thing from there.

A company branded sweatshirt.

When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it..” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something.. ok?”

And so I got the absolute loudest (that I liked) multicolored zip front hoodie I could find and those bitches paid to have that shit embroidered with a logo nobody cares about or recognizes, and now I have a ridiculous sweatshirt that’s much higher quality than it deserves to be but cost THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FREEDOM DOLLARS, and thus occasionally gets worn even tho I don’t work there anymore.
