17) Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, etc.

. . . such a spectacularly obvious illusion of elitism. Are all the cars parked out front not a big clue that the wares they're trafficking are still mass market? What about the nationwide footprint? . . . I think they just spiff it up, mark it up, and throw in the occasional piano player lest you focus too intently on the mirage.

Come to think of it, all department stores seem incredibly anachronistic to me.
