A byproduct of late-stage
capitalism. In any
retail environment where a premium is placed on standards of display, you will find the folding seminar. At about 9pm, in
Gap outlets across the country, floor
managers and merchandising team leaders gather their new retail recruits together. While the floor polishers buff the mall corridors to a gleaming shine and the rest of the suburban clothing sales world is asleep, these eager retail
acolytes learn the secret of the Perfect
Khaki Fold, the Proper Display of
Cargo Pants (Make sure that thigh pocket is front-and-center, guys!), and the Correct Use of the
Folding Template. No refreshments are served.
