Meanwhile, 3 different guys in suits came into the mens dept. and the sales reps were all over them. I simply walked out, went home and called the lady that dressed the local CBS TV news anchors and usually took them to Neiman Marcus. She called the manager of the mens dept and I went back the next day with her. They had liquor and a private screening room for me. I wore the same jeans in there and dropped 5k that afternoon. Needless to say, they were very nice to me the second time around.
