I agree, So how would you execute a limited release at the HOH? When i think about it, i cant come up with a single way to please the hypebeast & the general consumer.
It's not that hard, lots of stores go through extremely limited launches without a hitch. Everybody doesn't always leave happy, but that'sexpected because the number is limited so not everyone will get a pair, let alone their size. But, the point is it's done as fairly as possible, everyonewho's interested gets the same chance as everyone else.
It isn't the store's responsibility to please everyone, that's up to higher people who decide what will release, where/when/how much, etc. But Idon't think it's within the store's responsibilites to essentially take care of certain people, while completely ignoring and screwing over others.
All it takes is one person, whoever is in charge to be intelligent and responsible about it. I've seen it first hand on numerous occasions. Believe me,you could put the right person in charge of a situation a lot worse than the HOH thing and things would still turn out okay. Some of the things we'rehearing about, like employees scooping pairs, holding pairs, etc. that flows down from leadership.
