[quote=DWCAP]I guess I am just a weirdo, but I really dont understand lay-away. Just save your $, and when you have enough, buy what you need. I guess if we had high inflation and it locked in your prices it would be a good idea, or if we had really scarce resource/item and it kept it available to you; I could kinda understand that. But why let the store hold onto your money, and merchandise, for you? It isnt like we have inflation or scareity right now.[/quote]
I don’t disagree DWCAP. But when I was 16 and it was the 70’s and designer jeans were all the rage – if you found a pair of jeans that you liked, in your size, etc… you put it on layaway – because they might not be there when you saved up the money. It was kind of a way of calling “dibs” on a clothing item.
Even then I wasn’t a huge fan of shopping – but at 16 I tolerated it more than now.
