That was quite nice of the lady to allow you to call every half hour. There are a few stores by me that refuse to even pick up in the electronics dept. and give you attitude if you mention the wii.

CONGRATULATIONS on getting what you need

I called a local toys r us and the employee picked up and said "we don't have any wii's I hope that answers your question" then hung up lol. Sadly I was looking for that's so raven for my niece so when I called back I said "NO WII I WANT RAVEN!". Perhaps I shouldn't call retail stores after drinking too much coffee.

I was in Kmart the other day browsing around in the electronics section. I overheard a customer asking an employee that worked in the electronics section if they carried Nintendo DS games. The employee was freaked out from all of the people pulling her in different directions that she started to lose it in the middle of the aisle and screamed out loud that the store does not sell videogames at all and ran away.

One guy was so made he tried to kick open the glass case with his foot to get the game out. Ah the joys of shopping on Christmas eve. I felt so bad for that poor lady.

LOL....christmas eve shopping is almost as horrible as boxing day shopping. I recall a wal-mart employee losing it after getting passed on for a promotion. He started cursing and talking to me about how if he wore a "skirt" he would have got it. He also mentioned that he was over qualified and that they didn't respect him and didn't deserve him. I mostly agreed as I just wanted proper change for my $50 bill lol. I then got the hell out of there before he shot up the place lol.
