Woman buys out Payless store to help Nebraska flooding victims


A woman walked out of Payless with hundreds of new shoes, but none of them are for her.

Addy Tritt saw that all pairs of shoes were on sale for $1 at her local Payless in Hays, Kansas, last week, and something told her to go.

The retail value of the shoes was around $6,000, Tritt said. She said she negotiated for 2.5 hours until she could get all of the shoes in the store — 204 pairs — for pennies each, and only paid $100 for the bill.

The store needed to sell the shoes anyway. Payless announced in February that it was closing all its stores across the United States and started liquidation sales.

Kudos, Madam.

Probably a conservative; a liberal would have declared the flood victims "don't need no stinking shoes"!

Always so negative. Turn the report of a random act of kindness into a hatred spuing comment. Or maybe that was your attemp at humor. Either way it’s ugly.
