00:00In 48 hours, 465 store closures were announced.
00:08Combine that with other stuff that's already been announced,
00:10including Payless Shoes, which is closing all of its stores
00:13and going out of business.
00:144,500 stores across the country will close in the next year.
00:19That store lasted far longer than I thought it ever would.
00:22Payless?
00:23Payless.
00:23That's nuts.
00:24I mean, it's been around forever.
00:25They had a great run, right?
00:27They had a really great run.
00:28I remember getting a pair of Spider-Man shoes.
00:30From there when I was like a little green bean.
00:33You'd walk in and the chemical smell of all the shoes.
00:36I was like, these shoes are getting me high.
00:38Is this normal?
00:39It's just crazy.
00:40I've been stoned off these shoes.
00:42I've been in here for 20 minutes, man.
00:44You see spots, bro?
00:45Oh my gosh, shoes.
00:46That's so true.
00:47I remember that.
00:48You know that smell?
00:49He opened it up and you're like, woof.
00:51I can't even tell if these Spider-Man shoes light up or not in real life.
00:55Yeah, there's a lot of geometric shapes.
00:58Is those lights on there?
01:00I'm not sure if it's on your shoes or...
01:04I'm guessing the lights in your shoes don't work.
01:07I can't look at your tails whether that's real or not.
01:11They light up or they don't.
01:12As long as we're in here, they light up.
01:14You pass out.
01:15It's just kids.
01:17It's just kids laying around.
01:19One shoe on.
01:21Yeah.
01:22Don't worry.
01:23The kid's tired.
01:24The kid's super tired.
01:26The worker at Payless.
01:28Ah, don't worry.
01:29I can get that big silver shoe measuring device.
01:33Let me get his foot size here.
01:36What are you guys talking about?
01:37Oh, he's got a wide foot.
01:38All right.
01:39What's happening?
01:40He wants what?
01:41Spider-Man?
01:42Are you a doctor?
01:42All right.
01:44He's a size two.
01:46Why?
01:47What is this?
01:47Go get him some Spider-Man.
01:51Are you Spider-Man?
01:53No, no, kid.
01:54I can't see.
01:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:56I can't breathe or anything.
01:58I just needed some soccer.
01:59Someone open the door for a minute.
02:06Whoa.
02:07Oh, man.
02:07Is it raining?
02:08I just remembered, too, they seemingly had the worst commercials of all time.
02:13Yes, I think they did.
02:13Like, back in the 80s.
02:14Yeah, yeah.
02:15They just looked.
02:15I remember that, too.
02:16Even their commercials from, like, what I would say is the 90s looked like they were
02:20from the 80s.
02:21Really?
02:21Oh, my God.
02:22Yeah.
02:22I don't know.
02:23I can't remember.
02:23It was the cheapest shoes.
02:25It was just cheap.
02:25Everything they did.
02:27They were affordable.
02:29Yeah, you do it.
02:31Affordable and super cheap.
02:33Yeah.
02:33There's so much about it when you look it up online.
02:37What about it?
02:38Oh, the smell.
02:38Oh, the smell.
02:40It's just because of the cheap material that we use.
02:44It wasn't leather.
02:44Everybody's been looking here for three years, and when I started working here, I didn't sound
02:49like this.
02:51And now turn around and show them the extra head on your back.
02:53Look at that.
02:54Look at that.
02:56Oh, look at that.
02:57It's another head.
02:58Oh, my gosh.
02:59It started growing two years ago.
03:00Did he wink at you?
03:01I got no control.
03:02He's drooling and everything.
03:03Oh, I got to get him a napkin, ain't he?
03:05I know.
03:06Just put your hoodie up.
03:07I tried to put my hoodie up and cover him up, but he's wild.
03:15There is one just down the street here that I drive by.
03:18Sometimes it looks like it is the store that time forgot.
03:22Oh, yeah.
03:23They built it in the early 80s and haven't touched it since.
03:26I don't think so.
03:26I mean, it's just.
03:28I see that store.
03:29I think my car died in it, and I had to go in there and tell them I was parked in their
03:33lot.
03:34Oh, that's right.
03:34Like, someone's here.
03:35Someone's here.
03:36Yeah, like, open the door.
03:37Someone's here.
03:37I was like, hello.
03:39Come on in.
03:40Come on in.
03:41I had to grab a lantern and, like, walk through it.
03:45I had to tell a guy, like, the answers to riddles.
03:49Is anybody here?
03:50It's a green bean.
03:52I just, uh, what is that whistling?
03:57It's like a, ah!
03:59What is that?
04:00Who's there?
04:02Who's there?
04:02Show yourself!
04:05Anybody?
04:06My car died!
04:08And I want to leave it in your parking lot!
04:11Hello, sir.
04:13Oh!
04:15Oh, my God!
04:16Why are you up there?
04:17I've been here since 1982.
04:20Oh, my God!
04:21Hey, uh...
04:24Oh, dude, you're weird.
04:25You're a real weird guy.
04:26Hey, uh, listen.
04:27I left my car in your parking lot.
04:31Would you like to use the phone?
04:34I got my cell phone.
04:35I just wanted to...
04:36Boom!
04:37That's how you talk?
04:38Is that you or the store itself rumbling?
04:43Here's a rotary phone.
04:44What's the guest we have?
04:47Why is that so dusty?
04:51It's ringing!
04:53Never mind me.
04:54Hello?
04:57There's just a ghost on the phone, man.
04:59Is there wind in here?
05:02Why is this?
05:04What's that?
05:05I'm getting high, dude.
05:06Would you like a pair of shoes?
05:08I'm high enough to where I think I might.
05:11I think I might want a pair of shoes.
05:13It mentions to your feet with this big steel device.
05:16Oh, you're really touching.
05:17You're working a lot of the arts there, huh?
05:19Oh, buddy.
05:20Oh, my God.
05:21Wow, you're a lady this whole time?
05:23Yes, I'm actually a woman.
05:25I just noticed your nails.
05:26Yes.
05:27I had no idea.
05:29Something ain't right.
05:32Something ain't right.
05:33I got to get out of here.
05:34Oh, you'd look good in a pair of palms.
05:36Give me my foot back!
05:37No, no!
05:38You'd never have your foot back!
05:39No!
05:41Payless!
05:44Yep, last we hear of you.
05:45That's it.
05:46That's the end of it.
05:47Oh, that it's just windy in there.
05:49Yeah.
05:50And he goes to Payless.
05:51Yeah.
05:53All right, let's be here.
05:53Look...
05:54All right.
05:54Bye.
05:54Say hello.
05:55Bye.
05:56Bye.
05:57Bye.
05:58Bye.
05:59Bye.
05:59Bye.
06:04Bye.
06:04Bye.
06:07Bye.
06:08Bye.
