I stopped going to these things because all I want to do is tell anyone shopping at these places to run and run fast.

It's true. I've actually waited outside stores with post it notes and a pen, where I've written either Pricescope's web address or Joe Escobar's name and city or, as recently as a few weeks ago I went into a jeweler looking for earring backings and been horrified by what I've overheard, a post it note with a local jeweler I like and I sit there and wait till the people/couples come out and then I actually go up to them and give them the post it and tell them they are being misinformed and to go to Pricescope or the local jeweler, or Joe Escobar instead.
I get a lot of weird looks when I do this. But I can't help it. I hate seeing people getting ripped off.
It's actually REALLY hard for me to go into any B&M without ending up sitting outside and waiting with a post it note. I actually carry post it notes in my purse for exactly this reason.

You should tell more stories about other jewelers...

If I wanted to experience one of these places for myself, is this the Locations page I should be looking at (not sure if this is the same operation you all are talking about):

Well, you've all influenced me
My engagement diamond was from a local, what I'd call, strip mall chain - purchased years ago by my DH with the best of intentions. He was clearly influenced by his friends who were convinced that the only thing I would care about (the only thing any woman would care about actually) is the size. I wish someone like you was outside that store Gypsy. I tried to love that diamond, I really did - it wound up representing something almost negative to me, and I stopped wearing it.
I'm now considering my first purchase in many years and am looking to purchase a pair of studs . They will be small, but fabulous and my one dilemma is whether to go with WF, BGD or HPD.![]()
Thanks -- I'm thinking I'll tell my son that's where I want to go for this year's Mother's Day outingGypsy|1398396498|3659614 said:That's it!MollyMalone|1398393476|3659567 said:This thread is even more fun than the recent Kay Jewelers one -- love the idea of a PS Post-It flash mob!
