Topless in the City

Dear Marshalls,

Thank you for providing name brand apparel, shoes, accessories, and home goods at heavily discounted prices. Because of your store, I am able to stretch my dollar, a valuable thing during these uncertain times. Granted, I understand that by purchasing items from your store, I am buying items that are irregular, but I consider that a small price to pay for the savings.

However, I do not appreciate the fact that you are currently selling bikini bottoms without the coordinating bikini tops! You have taunted me at three different Marshalls stores with the most precious bikini bottoms from American Eagle -white with teal hearts, and have failed to provide a suitable coordinating top. What is the point? Do you have customers who buy the bottoms without the tops? I mean, I've gone topless when I was younger, but I've still purchased the top to the set! And, even though perhaps you may have had, and sold out of the tops, why the inordinate amount of bottoms? Is going bottomless a new trend sweeping the nation? And if so, let me tell you, as a second grade teacher, there's no way that I would ever be able to participate in that trend!

So, the next time you are ordering your batch of irregular swimsuits, please remember, a bikini is not a bikini if it missing the top.

Sincerely,

Smart Cookie
