I've only been to Bloomingdale's once in my life -- most of the little time
I spent there was in the same departments you mentioned. At the time I was
thinking 'there is only one thing I need, and I don't find it.' As I was
leaving, getting ready to go down the escalator, there it was, a stack of
those yellowish (Yellow-Ochra) Krupps coffee makers, I bought one @ abt.
$17.95 (it was much more elsewhere, too) and I used it for years. Funny
that I would buy another Krupps the exact same as I had, about 5 of them
had all leaked on me, but this one lasted for years.

That's one store!
