Well, given that my reaction to the merchandise every time I went in was "wow, this is really pretty... and I can't afford it..." I can't exactly say I'm surprised. The story says they were hoping from a lot of business from college students, but that's stupid if your prices are so high that middle aged professionals feel that the store is unaffordable.
