Just came back from a major department store. One that seems to be anti-mirror. No mirrors anywhere on the entire first floor, which is all womens. Women need mirrors. Yes, there are some in the fitting rooms. There is one fitting room on one side and another fitting room on the other side of the first floor. Lots of clothing in between but no mirrors. Do I really need to trek back and forth to the fitting rooms from the center of the store to find a mirror? Actually, I lie a little, the escalator sides were mirrored. I suppose I could have ridden them up and down holding blouses up to my face. The sunglass display had those foil mirrors but I couldn't bend sideways. There was a half mirror in the delicates department that was hung too high and I got tired of jumping. Now I'm not lazy its just that sometimes you don't need to try something on, you just want to check the color or style against your face/body!
Many moons ago, I worked in a department store. Mirrors were everywhere. Even in the men's department, as they seemed to need them more. The children's department had mirrors set at kid level. The shoe department had mirrors for your feet as well as full size mirrors. Sometimes store managers would walk around demanding "More Mirrors!" So, I am befuddled.
Not the end of the world or even a dent in the fabric of real life, just an annoyance. Its out of my system and I'm over it.
