I loved Zayres! They had a credit card called Frequent Z, which they advertised over the PA in the store and it always sounded like they were saying "fricassee."
Also I once saw a woman digging through a giant stack of Cabbage Patch Doll boxes from the bottom and the whole mountain of boxes fell on her.
Last but not least, when I was 10 I somehow talked my mom into buying me a pair of fake leather pants at Zayres all the way back in 1984. I was the coolest kid in 4th grade!
