i'm a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad boy

I'm so tired of being considered a bad boy.

Walmart goes through my stuff, at Zellers I must walk through overly sensitive sensors that buzz when I bend over, and now, today, just tops it off for me.

I got a ring for Johanna at the Silver sense store here in the mall. Very helpful place and I found a ring I liked. It was really quite inexpensive, and I bought it, even though I was ready to spend more. Well, it turned out to be a little large on her finger.

So today, Micah has a $50 money gift burning a hole in his pocket, and he's been talking about getting a cool drum. Well, they have them at the Silver Sense, so I suggested we go look at them there. While we were there I thought I'd see if they even had a smaller size in the ring. So I took the bag with the ring in a ring box from the store and off we went. I didn't take the receipt because Johanna left it in Saskatoon, but I didn't think it would be a real problem since I simply wished to look at a smaller one, same design.

So Micah was looking at the drums and we were getting sold on them, and I went and asked about a smaller version of the one in the bag in the box I set on the counter. Without even looking at it, the response from her mouth was, "Nothing is done without a receipt. Company policy."

Huh? I tried to explain my need for a smaller size. Same line.

I said I didn't want money back....  Same line.

By now, I'm feeling like I tried to rip someone off. So I say thanks for the help and get Micah and leave without the drums.

So Silver Sense is out another $50, and I've got grumpy word of mouth.

Just because stores have to assume that everyone is out to get them, and will rob them blind, doesn't mean I will. And I resent that, just a bit.
