Re: Utter madness - can't believe this, whats the world coming to !
My youngest has a birthday coming up and he wanted a swing for the garden so I went to the local Tesco home and bought one. My Mum works for Tesco so che came along so I could get her discount ,she ended up paying on her card and I gave her the cash. When collection day came I went in store and was told that my particular swing had been lost in transit. I said "Cant I just take one from the shop floor?" "No" she replied "We dont carry that item in stock". "Yes you do" I said, "There are loads of them downstairs" "Well I wouldnt know about those, they dont show up on my system" (all the way down fucking stairs)
I took my case downstairs where they had them and where I would hopefully find an active brain. Baring in mind I'd already paid at a promotional price I wanted to pay no more so I asked them what the price was. Not only was it different to the price I had paid, but it was also different to the pre promotion price. When I asked why this was they said that the swing had come down in pricxe as it was the end of the line, but the very next day the same swing came in store as a new line at an increased price 
As it was bought on my Mums card there wasnt a lot I could do about it right there and then so my Mum had to go over and sort it. What with women being far better than men at complaining she got it for the original promotional price, Im pretty convinced she threatened them with the lighter fluid.
He also wants a trampoline. Im going to Woolworths for that.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
