I do this odd Minnesota thing where I get a compliment on my clothes and I tell people where I bought the item.  They didn't ask for that info...but I still gave it to them.

Example: I have a dressy green shirt that I wear once in a while.  Every time I wear it, someone says that "green looks great on you".  I respond by telling them that I bought the shirt at a consignment shop.  They didn't ask for that bit of info but you know what, I threw it in there just as a bonus.

One of the shirts that I get the MOST compliments on came from a gas station in Minnesota.  But that's not the only treasure that is waiting for you in the aisles of this huge gas station.
