Ok I have a question that has been nagging at me.
I was in the spice shop the other night with Sleepydog and Sher and Jami and Sleepydog said he used to be a jock in school.
Something doesn't fit. Can you be a jock and a wine snob?
Hmm...I just always pictured you as a Niles Crane.

Okay, I'm about to go into a full-on rage.
About my fabric store. Which shall remain nameless at this time, since they have about 2 more hours to do what I want them to do before I start telling EVERYONE I KNOW how unreasonable and such that they are.
Because, you see, I went to buy some extra supplies for Audrey's dress yesterday. After ringing my items up, and after I had already zipped my card through the terminal, I noticed that the clerk didn't give me the proper discount. I pointed this out. But, since it was only about $.25 I just wasn't going to worry about it. Then she said that the transaction didn't go through and she went back to change it. (She misapplied the discount and ended up giving me too much, which I also pointed out, but then SHE didn't want to bother.) Anywho, after the 2nd go 'round, the customer terminal wouldn't work, so she ran my card through the zip machine on the register. This morning, of course, BOTH charges were deducted from my card. So I called the store, explained everything to the manager. She looks up the register receipts and kindly tells me that there was no transaction for the 1st amount yesterday AT ALL for the entire day. It never happened.
Ummmmmmm, NO!
I'm looking at my account. It was deducted.
Maybe it is just a hold? says she.
NO again, it is a DEDUCTION.
Well, nothing she can do. Try the bank.
So I go to the bank, they agree that it looks fishy and say, yes, indeed, it is a deduction. I write a letter to protest the first charge. Go in person to the fabric store to SHOW them that it was a charge, and despite what their system shows, they DID charge me. Manager responds with, our system doesn't show it, but we'll get it straightened out. Should she call me if they decide they need to give me a credit?
WTH? IF they decide they need to give me a credit?
They have until 4:00. Then my head will explode. And when that happens, I am not responsible for whatever I might say. To everyone. About them.
(Hey, I once boycotted a W-M in a town that had nothing but a W-M. They made me so mad, that I spent the gift certificate they gave me for the great injustice done to me at another W-M 30 minutes away, which is where I went to get anything I needed after that. I'm a teensy bit stubborn about some things.)

Jami and Frickles, thanks for your concern and sympathies. I am busy, and my commute isn't the best. But I've always been busy, and I'm getting used to the commute. It was nice to sleep in a little this morning, though! (and then spend 3 hours in the car!!) You are right, Jami, WDW is NEEDED and soon! (Good thing it's coming soon!)
Sher! Love the shoes. Very sexy and sparkly. (even though the 3 inch heels won't help much...shorty!) Gee, you really are going all out for CG, aren't you? I know I've sad it a brazillion times, but I gotta go shopping.
Tink, Richard's just now starting Middle School? What grade do your Middle Schools start? My sons were 11/12 when they started. But we do Middle School at 6th grade (which I think is too young...)
Oh, and Frick (again), you have got to be kidding me. A VAT of peanut butter? Peanut Butter is like an illegal substance up this way. Especially in Elementary schools. As one of those mothers whose kids would eat only that for a while, it was a pain, but I also understood. Actually, they just couldn't have it in the classroom, so no pnt btr snacks. But they could have it in the Caf. HOWEVER, they had to sit far away from the "NUT-FREE" table(s), and were required to wash their hands & faces thoroughly before returning to class. My youngest decided it wasn't worth the trouble, and boycotted PB from that point forward. It is such a common thing these days, I'm sure a chat with his teacher will do the trick. I'm certain it won't be the first time she's heard it.
Amy, sorry for your fabric store troubles. If they don't make you whole, let me know and I'll boycott. Of course, since I NEVER go to fabric stores, I don't know that they'll notice
I now have to go to work. But I'm off tomorrow (and meeting with Kimmie!!!), so it's like a Friday. Which I love. Unlike Chris. For some strange reason. Still don't get it.

Amy... do I happen to know anyone who works at the store in question?? See, I TOLD you not to go there anymore! Drive to Macon. Always. At least, until I give you the "all-clear" to go back there. I hope they get it straightened out, what a mess!
We're about to clean the bathrooms, then have a little tea party. Sounds like fun, huh??

Jami - having people's backs comes naturally. . .I made a career of it, in fact

R - believe me, I thought of you, and what you said, and thought about asking you the person's name, to see if that was the particular person being unsatisfactory. If I don't get satisfaction, I WILL call corporate. They don't know who they are dealing with, obviously.
Sher - they change of plans is for M&Rs FIRST september trip, not the second one, where I will be missing the nightly pool party as I suffer in my 1 BR villa at OKW, with my mom!
