I was hauled out of bed at an ungodly hour this morning. Still a little sick from some old manwich I consumed last night. Dressed and dumped out in the snow and drove 35 miles on ice over a mountain to go to town and shop.
Hit target first, and other than a galactic Heroes Slave 1 and boba fett they had nothing of interest and I didn't even get that. It was just fun to look at a bit.
Got to walmart..... Friday before Christmas... *Twitch* It was about as bad as you'd expect.... I'd already rammed some old lady's cart out of my way just going though the book section in the front of the store.
I fight my way to the back and there's like... .two stand in stockers in the toy section. Just ... opening boxes and shoving stuff onto shelves where ever they find a space. I'm not kidding. I looked around and was all 'WTF MAN??"
So I look, and my Walmart battle stations still aren't on the shelf. I KNOW they have them. I was here about a month and a half ago and found ONE on the shelf. The heetseek... I picked it up and asked where the other 3 were. They said they'd been 'binned' till a spot opened on the shelf.
I asked for the Outpost defender. They took the heet seek to the back 20 minutes later they gave me my Outpost defender and I left.
I've looked once or twice a week every week since for the other 3. They were never put out. More over with out the UPC the people there kept giving me the "If we have it it's on the shelf" Crap.
Well last night I knew I was going in today, so I got the box for my outpost defender and wrote down the UPC...
Went in today and didn't see them on the shelf so I grabbed one of the idiot stockers and asked about them.
"If we have it it's on the shelf"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah"
"Then how come you're stocking two pallets of stuff?"
"Huh?"
"Well clearly you have two pallets of stuff there, that's not on the shelf"
"huh?"
"The stuff.... right there... that's not on the shelf?"
"What about it?"
"it's not on the shelf"
"Yeah???"
"but you have it right?"
"Yeah...."
"So your statement is wrong"
"Oh... I guess it is"
"So can you check for this in the back for me"
"I don't know how"
"You don't??"
"No."
"Do you work here?"
"Huh?"
"Do you _Work_Here_?"
"Oh.... yeah"
"But you don't know how to check stock?"
"No."
"Ok take this number and go to the back and ask your manager to check it"
"Why?"
(( I'm not kidding... they said 'why'?)
"Because I'd like to buy the items"
"Are they on the shelf?"
".................................."
"What?"
"Go ask your manager please."
So the girl walked off still in a daze. I wait and a few minutes later she came out with the box. Low and behold... it had the 3 I didn't buy a month and a half ago.
"Ahh thank you"
"Yeah"
"And you know what?"
"What?"
" You had them."
"ok?"
"And they weren't' on the shelf"
"yeah?"
"Do you see an inconsistency there?"
"A what?"
"An inconsistency."
"A WHAT?"
"An inconsistency.. .what you told me was clearly wrong"
"How so?"
"Never-mind. Thank you very much."
So I grabbed the LAW and Surveillance post (( Though I don't get um till Christmas technically they're presents. ))
But WOW... I had to work for it.
This is a beautiful story!
It's all about the quest, man, the quest!
