Yup! I figure I am way more likely to find something I will like at Macy's - even on clearance. I'd rather spend a little more on something I like a lot. And if all else fails, I'll buy some substitute stuff at the other stores and hope it works out for me. As a bonus, it makes sense geographically for me that the stores are in that order.

Well, I'm a little offended by the implication that a crossdresser presents a higher risk for shoplifting than any other member of the populace. I suppose it's not surprising, given media portrayal of us. Like Lorileah said - they'd be better off focusing on the people that are just shoplifting straight out of juniors'.

Beats me. Somewhere near the entrance to the dressing room, I would think. There's no better way to raise suspicion than to look around for all the cameras - LOL. As a CD, I learned long ago that the person acting all nervous is the one who draws attention to his or herself.


As far as to whether or not I'll buy there again - hard to say. Much of the shopping I do there is 'research shopping,' anyways. I go in, pick out a bunch of combos and sizes and styles, and play around to see what works for me and what doesn't. Actual purchases are fewer and farther between - though I do buy both men's & women's there. I think I will contact Macy's with a recap of my experience, and see what they have to say. If I'm satisfied by the response, I'll go back. If not, sayonara. I don't believe in letting one bad apple spoil the bunch, as the cliche puts it.
