I’m getting old
.
I went ballistic at NAPA a while back over a package of plug wire separators.
In stock, they had one package in blue and one in black which didn’t matter but 2 wire, 3 wire, 4 wire one of each in a package (set of 3)
Problem was I needed 2 of each and the big ape couldn't comprehend my dilemma of matching colors and my frustration. I would have bought 2 packages iF they had them.The ape followed me damn near out the door trying to convince me it would work.
I don't recall my response, cuss words etc but it wasn’t pretty and the irony is the same thing happened months earlier at O'Reilly, 1 of blue 1 of black UGH !!!
We have a store in town, called ABC warehouse
They sell mostly electronics, but their gimmic is the haggling (which isn't my Forte anyway)
Well, I go in there one day to buy a TV
I find one and ask him what the price is
He goes 350
Ok, ill give you 275 for it
He goes, these go for 400 at Walmart
Hey, if I were shopping at Walmart I'd gladly pay sticker because that's their business model, but not paying sticker here
He goes, well the TV is 350
So I say out the door right?
No, he says, you gotta ad sales tax
So I explain to him I'm not paying sticker and I surely ain't paying his sales tax because he's the one making a sale not me
Well then he started yelling and what not, so I just left
But he followed me out into the parking lot, still yelling, going on and on about how I don't understand how the business works and that I'm trying to take food of of his families table
I just got in my car and flicked the safety off, but he decided to leave it at that
