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.

02:40It'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.
