March 2007
I haven’t posted much lately because I feel like the only thing I’ve been up to is dealing with my sister’s wedding and work drama. One of those is something that I didn’t think anyone would be interested in reading about and I probably shouldn’t post about the other. I’ll let you guess which is which, but here’s a hint: I love the smell of someone eating shit in the morning.
However, I will share with you one of the most painless shopping experiences I’ve ever had in my life and it will probably come as no surprise that it happened at the Apple store. Since I’ll be staying at a hotel this weekend and won’t have my laptop, I finally decided to drop $29 for an A/C adapter to go with the video iPod that they practically gave me a couple of months ago to replace my 1st generation iPod. I went to the iPod accessories section, asked the guy where they were, and he handed it to me. Then he asked if I needed anything else and when I said “no,” he asked if I would be paying with a card. That’s exactly what I was going to do and he whips out this hand-held scanner, takes my e-mail address to send me a copy of my receipt, and gives me a bag from his back pocket. I was done before I even knew what hit me!
I really hate shopping, but if more stores start doing this then maybe I’ll hate it a little less.
