what the freak!

Ok, so I have been knowing for a month that Casey will be in a Christmas play tonight but on Friday his teacher sends home a nice little note saying that they have to wear gray sweatpants and a white or gray sweat shirt, so here I am driving to everyplace imaginable in order to get the right stuff. I went to Walmart-nothing, Belks-nothing, Citi Trends-nothing, Cato-nothing, Roses-nothing, Its Fashion-hold the presses yes! but nothing in his size, Darn! I swear the girl behind the counter wanted to scream, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" anyway she did say that another Its Fashion may have it. So, holding my breath, she calls and YES they have it in his size and they are holding the items for me. Chesapeake is a 30 minute drive and the whole way there I'm thinking "boy I hope he appreciates this foolishness driving all around town when he is an old man!"

But alas, something in my spirit arose (ha ha) and said "call the store and get the exact directions because the girl didn't sound quite sure of herself when she gave you the directions." I call and low and behold they are way on Dominion Blvd-which is accross town from the one she said they were at. No problem, I understand. I understand that most of the people I encounter on a daily basis seem to be inherently stupid but ok, I can drive just a little farther.

So I get to the register and they have the sweater and the pants waiting for me, I give the girl my debit card and she says "I can't ring you up right now." Because enquiring minds want to know I ask "why?" (tilting my head to the side) "well, my manager is on a conference call and the phone line is tied up." At that moment I felt like Mango man on SNL, "what the freak!" but against my better judgment I said "What!" and then in a condascending way I say "well, just tell your little manager that a customer has driven 30 minutes out here to purchase these items and she needs to hang the phone up so you can check me out." she walks away and the manager who couldn't have been past 22 comes out and says "I can't." At this point I am officially in "The Twilight Zone" and I said "well how long is it going to be?" this turd proceeds to tell me half an hour, but there are some nice shops a few doors down that you can window shop in and come back." OH NO SHE DIDN'T! (snap snap)

I know I was not in church but I really felt the urge to lay hands on her and speak in toungues! I told her that I could not believe that she would make a customer wait another 30 minutes after driving 30 just because she was on a conference call. So she says "well m'am, we don't have DSL we have dial up and I can't exit my conference. "It's no wonder they are closing your store because your customer service sucks! Good luck finding another job you inconsiderate trollups!" and then I walked out, ended up going to the Walmart in chesapeake found everything I needed and drove home with julian singing Christmas songs!

**F U, and the white horse you road in on** My favorite quote from the movie changeling.

Some times harshness is not acceptable but some times its what is duely required! hahahah
