Hermes Sample Sale: Be Ready To Wait...And Wait...And Wait...

Big Buddha's gf popped by the Hermes Sample Sale today.  Actually, she thought she would pop-in and pop-out but all that ended up popping was her bubble of popping by.  She waited in line for 3 hours to gain entrance and then another 2 hours to get to the cashier counter.  For such an anticipated sample sale, why were there only 4 cashiers?  To make matters worse, she spied a few guys cutting the line after slipping some $20s to the security guards at the front of the line.  Unless you are a huge fan of Hermes, I'm sure you can find something better do with yourself for 5+ hours.  Just in case you are a huge fan, here is the pricing for various items:  $98 ties, $225 scarves, $15 perfumes, $445 small canvas totes and $600-$900 wallets.  Don't forget to bring a couple of $20s to skip the line.  ;)
