No. Just... no.

Okay, look.

There are some things that take the joy right out of me.

The photo below is one of them.

Why yes, that IS a Gap Factory shirt. And, yes, there IS a little bit of foundation on the collar.

Yes, it was found at T.J. Maxx. And no, there's no shame in a little discount shopping before picking up the dog at the groomer.

But NO, your eyes don't deceive you. That shirt is $99.99.

I'll write that out for you, in case you didn't get it the first time. Ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents. One penny short of one hundred dollars. Ninety-nine, ninety-nine.

I could tell you that I brought this to the attention of an associate, and she told me that was the correct price. I could also tell you that I was dissatisfied with that answer, and brought it to another associate, who admitted it was probably a mistake.

But instead of making this post longer than it needs to be, let's just all take a moment to acknowledge that for a brief moment in time, a pre-worn, unwashed, Gap outlet, ruffled and stripped shirt was priced at $99.99.
