Two nights ago I visited a large retail chain, name to remain anonymous because I don't want to offend anyone that enjoys this God forsaken hell hole. I reluctantly walked in the front doors to return a knee brace my husband bought the night before. For some reason they are the only retailer that stays open 24/7, 365 days a year, so we are all forced to use them at one point or another : (
Anyway, back to why I dislike going into this store. It seems as if by 9:00 p.m. all of the people that don't want to be seen in the daylight emerge and gather at these stores. This particular evening was no different. As I walked in, I witnessed a small child (probably 5 years old) standing behind their parents as they played video games. What an exciting evening it must be to be this child......get no attention from your parents and watch them play games they should have outgrown years ago. Who knows though, maybe he was thinking, "Wow my mom and dad are cool!" Doubt it.
I was greeted by a not so delightful "Greeter". She looked at me as if I stole something and was trying to return it. She searched my bag to tag the "item" that was being returned. I wanted to say, "Trust me...I wouldn't steal anything from here because I don't even want to be seen here right now." Shallow I know....but unfortunately true.
I waited in the line at customer service while one lady returned 5 Home Entertainment Speaker systems. Why would anyone buy 5 of the same thing......seems like a Christmas nightmare to me. She told one person in her family what she wanted and that person told the next person and the next person told the next person. They all bought the same thing on the same weekend they "Lowered" the price. This is the only explanation I can come up with, based on the fact she had NO RECEIPTS for any of them.
The couple in front of me had a 3-4 year old son that wanted to mop the floor.....with his hair, his cloths and unfortunately his tongue. He was just rolling around while his parents were staring off into space. I have to imagine this child has one hell of a immune system built up if he likes licking miscellaneous floors....who knows what else he is putting his little tongue on.
This was a rare evening at this national retail chain. I actually left the store with a smile on my face. It was as I was returning my knee brace, that a gentleman came up to the 2nd register. He had a box of "Kraft Macaroni and Cheese - DELUXE". He was going to return this box of cheesy
goodness because he didn't want it. However, the box was ripped open like he changed his mind as he was about to pour the noodles into the boiling water. "Oops, I don't really want this anymore, I think I will return it. I wonder where that darn receipt is!" With a smirk on her face, the cashier with enough black eye liner on to last me a whole year, stated it was against OSHA regulations to return an opened food item. (I personally felt dumb.....I didn't know OSHA had return policy regulations.....hahahaha.) Anyway, this guy got so pissed that they would not give him his money back that he threw the box into his cart and the pasta in the opened box flew up into the air and spilled all over the place. As he was walking away he slipped on some of the pasta and got even madder. I couldn't even hold in my laughter. What a moron.
So if you are ever having a bad day, wait until 9:00 and go to this retail chain. (We all know which one it is.) You might witness one of the funniest things you have ever seen............boy I need to get a life!
