In fact, I would argue I had absolutely nothing to do with the unfortunate closing of Albany’s Pier 1 Imports, because a single pillow incident like this simply does not have the power to take down an entire store. Still, there is something vaguely karmic about this whole sad situation, because I believe a store’s management takes its lessons from the very top, and this sort of poor customer service surely accounts for something.
Anyway, maybe if they’d sold me the pillow I wanted things would be different. In all likelihood, they wouldn’t, but I’d like to believe that karma still works some wonders in the world. As for the longstanding Pier 1 Imports on Wolf Road, it’s a bittersweet goodbye. You’ll have to find your wicker papasan elsewhere.
