Shhhh, This Attorney Got His Paralegal a Christmas Gift from Coach!

When I stumbled across The Philadelphia Inquirer’s “Black Friday” article, which included an interview with attorney Jesse Cohen, I couldn’t help but agree with the reporters’ opinion, i.e. “nice boss.”

Industry analysts have warned that such sales may not be as pervasive this year. Retailers generally are stocking minimal inventory so they can sell what they have at higher prices, rather than getting stuck with overstuffed clearance racks at season's end.

Evidence of this was apparent to shopper Jesse Cohen yesterday in Center City. The 30-year-old lawyer plied Walnut Street and found the gift he wanted for his paralegal. He wouldn't say what he bought - for fear of spoiling the surprise - but the provenance was emblazoned on the shopping bag he carried - Coach (nice boss).

Nevertheless, he was less than thrilled with his Black Friday experience.

"I expected a lot more people and a lot more sales," he said. When he picked out the gift for his paralegal, he asked if it was on sale.

"No," the sales clerk said.

"But it's Black Friday," Cohen protested.

"Nothing is on sale," she told him.

He bought the present anyway…

Yup, nice boss.

And don’t rag on me about letting the cat out of the bag (not that I know what was in the bag, but click on the link at the picture above and check out Coach's adorable line of wallet wristlets). A lot more people read The Philadelphia Inquirer than Practical Paralegalism.
