| YOU MUST BUY IT ALL |
Still no new laptop. The afternoon reboot took 15 tries before our old laptop came on. Linda did go this morning to pick up our new one, but of course... the model she wanted was out of stock. It will be shipped from the warehouse tomorrow to the store and she will go get it there. Every time Linda buys a big purchase item, she always tries to get them to throw some extras in AFTER she closes the deal. Today, the laptop was marked $150 higher in the location she went to than the same exact store one town over where she first saw it yesterday. What? The manager said he forgot to put the sale sticker on it. Then, Mr. Pushy Sales Guy tried to sell her a bunch of extras, at least 10x over. Even when she said NO, he never stopped trying to sell the extra warranty, set up, software, leather bag and virus protection kit. NO, NO, NO she kept saying. At one point, he actually rang up the virus software on her ticket. NO! She said if he wanted her to have extra things, he had to give it to her for free, she wasn't paying one cent more than the lowest price she saw advertised. He finally got the hint. Her prizes: a USB storage thingy and a 30 pack of AA batteries... oh, and another $50 off the computer as his gift to her.
