No, I’m not going to actually itemize them, but if you walk around any of The Container Store’s retail locations, you can probably count close to that many items that they’re either out of stock on, or have very limited store stock on. We’re not talking exotic items here, either. This is essential, can’t-put-a-goddamn-thing-they-sell-together-without-it stuff they’re lean on. I know why they do it. They want you to just order online and eat the shipping, but if that’s the case, why waste a ton of money having retail locations, especially in some of the high-rent areas they have them in? It’s vanity, plain and simple. If you fall a few reasons short of 1001, you can add in their staff, who are about as helpful as a vat of salt in a burn ward, their shopping carts, which are clearly designed to prevent anyone from buying and carrying anything out of their stores, and their absolutely fucking abyssmal Muzak. MISERABLE shopping experiences to be had in these places, which surprises me, considering the rep they’ve gotten from loyalists. I’m guessing they were a good company once, then got high on their own hype and decided to coast. Man, fuck those guys.
