The other perspective

Let's start out by saying that Daniel had ME dealing with all of these people, while he just sat back and watched, trying not to laugh. Okay, so we are in line with really nice people, and discover that we're all getting different things. So there are happy feelings between everyone. However, we've learned that there are other doors that people might be standing at, so we're all gearing ourselves up to sprint upstairs to the only two electronics counters, which is where we get what we're coming for. They finally open the doors (Side note - Daniel went to the other door just in case they opened that one first... which they did) and we all go running - literally running - to get there. We get upstairs, and we are the first ones in line. Yay! No worries, right?? The man (Name is Andrew, by the way) acts like he doesn't think they have that TV on sale. I show it to him in the flyer. He says "Oh, that one. Um.. okay I guess..." and calls downstairs to clear that they have it. They of course don't. (I still have the other sales flyers in my hand, by the way. Ran with them. ) I ask if he can have one transfered or saved for us at the Columbia Sears, since we're here and everything. He says "Sure... uh, wait. It's saying no. Oh well." So, I said "All right, can you at least price match this one, since you don't have the one that I came for? "Not on Black friday I can't!!" (he shouts this - have you seen the Truman show, where she does the little side thing for commercials? And Truman says "Who are you talking to??" It was like that.) Remember, we have a line of about 50 people behind us. So he tells us that we're going to have to pick another TV. Daniel starts looking and picks another one out, while the guy starts getting our information. He asks for my address. "251..." "298" No, I said 251 you moron. Please, listen. (I was polite. I didn't call him a moron to his face. :-) Phone number? I had to repeat it 9 times. Yes, 9. By time number 2 I had the flyers (which were pretty thick) rolled up, by time number 5 my whole body was shaking I was so mad, and by time number 9 I handed it to Daniel for fear that I was going to pummel this guy with them. The whole thing finally got done and he asked if there was anything else he could help us with. It was all I could do not to strangle him. By this time the line behind us is almost to the escalator. So, we went downstairs to pick up the TV, where I asked to speak to a manager. Mr. Unhelpful manager informed me that as of Wed. Night when he went home, they'd had 3 in stock. (Which tells me someone took them home, or is reserving them for someone.) Oh, and yes, we could have ordered it for you and sent it to columbia. Oops. I'll have to give that Andrew a talking to. Have a nice day! I wanted to shoot someone. It was a really good thing that I didn't have any weapons. Anyway, that's the other point of view. Hugs and kisses!!
