Sticker Shock

I'd like to take this opportunity to address the ladies in the readership. Ladies, if you don't want people to know that you bought your shoes at a discount retailer (where it is likely that you had to hop around the aisles like a runner in a potato sack race to try them on because the pair is connected with a plastic ziptie), then remove the friggin' price tag stickers from the bottoms before you go showboating them around. Newsflash: when you walk, the stickers are exposed, outing you as the cheap discount shopper that you are. In one word? Tacky. I don't care how coiffed your hair is or how nice your nails are, or how convincing your Burberry knock-off looks, if you have stickers on the bottom of your shoes, you might as well have a piece of toilet paper stuck to them as well. Get your sh*t together. Thank you.
