Yesterday, I setup the outside Christmas decorations and lighting. I was going to finish the back gutter lights, today, but didn't get round to it. Tomorrow is soon enough.
Last night, I made an emergency trip to Home Depot, because I got all tied up with the above and forgot about a sale. A Milwaukee kit consisting of a drill, an impact, two 1 1/2 AH batteries, a charger, and a canvas bag were advertized at $149.99, discounted from $199.99. I wandered round a large cordless tool sale display area and up and down the non-sale cordless tool aisles, but couldn't find them. Finally collared a nice, helpful and friendly young lady who helped me wander some more, then said "Let's try down here." Yep, there it was. Emphasis on it, because it was the last one.
At the checkout, the price came up at $199.99 and try as Mahmoud might, and me telling him it was $149.99, the price wouldn't change. Not believing they were on sale, Mahmoud and I walked to the display, he saw the sale tag and punched the SKU into his portable electronic do-all thingie (his cell-phone). Back at the register the price was still $199.99, so he did a $50 price override. I showed him my V. A. card, but he said only one discount allowed. No, you still don't understand, the price is $149.99, not $199.99 overridden to $149.99. He collared the original nice, helpful and friendly lady . . . then a nice helpful and older lady . . . then the manager. The four of them hovered round the register and leaving fingerprints all over the register's touch screen. Finally, the manager entered a 10% customer satisfaction discount (the V. A. discount) and all ended well.
Edit to add: A lot of Costco tri-tip sees the inside of our grill.
