Adventures of couch-shopping and entertainment-center shopping in Charlotte with Colleen …
Quotes heard from lovely salespeople themselves:
- “The stain guard protects against wine, chocolate and bodily fluids.”
- “You want a chaise on one end, 3 cushions, less than 90 inches? You will not find that anywhere.” (But we just found it at the last store!)
- “Of course we have unique entertainment centers. Anything you want! You name it! … “No, we don’t have red. Why would we have red? This is a furniture store.” (For the record, we found red entertainment centers here and here, and we didn’t even have to go to IKEA to do so.)
-”Bathrooms are for paying customers only.” (Colleen, buy a couch; I gotta pee!) For the record, this guy was joking and was, hands-down, my favorite salesperson of the day.

This not from a salesperson, but from a crazy old guy hanging around one of the stores:
- “I am not hitting on you, but some people do think I’m a player. Do you know what a player is?” (for the record, Colleen was the lucky girl he was talking to!)
- “13 years ago I had an affair with a married woman. We did not have sex, but we did everything but.”
- “I am 75 years old and I have twin 16-year-old sons.”
(ok, did not want to picture 75-year-old player doing “everything but” with someone …)

And who says Charlotte has nothing to do? Even furniture shopping can be adventurous!
Haha, wow, that’s crazy! Sounds like you two had some fun. Go Colleen!
