Stellar Service award Number Two

I was in the mall last night buying cards at a Hallmark store. If you've known me for long enough, you know that the disconnect between a fancy expensive card saying "I love you for everything you are and everything you do"... and, well, reality... makes me want to remove my own ribs one by one with a tarnished butter knife.

To top it off, at the register there were white Lindor truffles. Yummy. I know, wax and sugar. Whatever. I like them so I reached down to take two, and my fingertips registered an alarm that was briefly ignored in the chaos of handing over my cards, debit card, etc.

The candies were wet. As soon as that clicked in I said to the store clerk, "Um... these are all wet."

He didn't even bother to shrug, replying "Yeah, some lady spilled her ice tea all over them."

Oh. Kay.

I pushed them aside and said "well, obviously I'm not going to buy them then."

You would have thought I said that in Latin or something... the look I got... oy...

First... I've used Stellar in a sentence about 3 times today... my dd said, "can you stop using that word.. it's weird?" ROFL.

And about that candy.. just ewwww.

Customer service really is dead...

Things will get better... right?

I distinctly remember a day in... maybe February?  I remember the moment, but not what day it was. I was sitting at work thinking about plan...
