Although she is a compassionate and sensitive person who at times can feel guilt and remorse, she can be quite selfish. In the episode "Ice Cubed", Carrie tries to make things right with an employee at a store after she accidentally gives her a free iPod and gets subsequently fired. However, in a later episode, she takes advantage of one of Doug's ex-girlfriends who he mistreated by tricking her into sleeping with him, for which currently he feels great remorse and shame. She brazenly then uses this ex-girlfriend (Janeane Garofalo) of Doug to get a 40% discount on one of her favorite stores, Saks, so she can purchase the designer clothes, shoes and purses she desperately wants. Doug becomes incensed with the entire situation and Carrie and him have an intense argument over this, and Doug forces Carrie to reluctantly apologize to Doug's ex-girlfriend, all the while knowing it was the right thing to do.
