Twilight Zone for Dummies!, 8 October 2008
8/10
Author: Hitchcoc from United States

Rod Serling liked to set things in department stores. They seemed to have their heyday in the fifties before the big shopping malls took over. Places like Macy's and Mashall Fields had a sort of charm to them. He always had a tongue clucking floor manager and a few insipid clerks. Outsiders who came in were often out of their element and are frequently victimized in some way. Here we have the feeling of alienation from an attractive young woman who can't figure out why she can't return an item she bought. One question I have is "How did she get a personal history?" Beyond that this is fraught with strange sounds and mysterious goings on. As she attempts to solve the mystery, the oddest things take place. The conclusion is very satisfying and a lot of fun. This is one of the most memorable episodes, though one with a little imagination might figure it out well ahead of the conclusion.
