I almost never go out on Fridays because the alleged car doesn't care for it (don't ask), but I had inside info that TRU would be getting a shipment in today, and the BOGOHO sale was almost over, so not being able to catch a ride with someone else I took a chance, figuring if they didn't have the Hiss or WH I could get the two Ferrets I saw the other day. Bingo! Not only did they have multiple Hiss and Wolfhounds and the two Ferrets, but a whole goddamn wall of RoC!
WTF! They'd finally creared all that out except for a few Docs and Shipwrecks, and now it's a freakin' tidal wave of RoC all over again! It was actually a decent selection, with Helix, Flash, Night Adder, Destro, Red Fang Ninja, Rex, and others. Scooped up a Pit Trooper and Desert Duke to add to my army builders. Saw Black Widow out the corner of my eye and figured trade-bait, so I grabbed her too. Made sure to call up and check the limit on my card and I was relieved that payment last week went through and I was well within my spending limit. Cashier rang me up and... DECLINED!!! WTF?! Turns out my card was exactly two weeks past expired, and I hadn't received my replacement yet, so I called up the credit card company on my cell which was now increasingly low on power. Operator could send me a new card, but there was nothing she could do right there, so she transfers me over to security. I couldn't believe how fast this was going down. This had to be the all-time fastest response time in the three years I've been dealing with these guys. Guy said he could allow a charge to go through if I stay on the line with him, but now the cashier is who knows where and my cell is dying. I flag down another and we try again. DECLINED!!! Guy tells me to enter the date in manually as 06/11, but there's no way to do that on the little terminal TRU has, so I ask the lady, who is hesitant because you're not supposed to do it that way, but I convince her the guy on the phone is with my card company and it will go through. We do it old school and it works. Security guy was a little suspicious when he saw a change from TRU flash on his screen, but I told him my nephew's b-day was tomorrow (yeah yeah). All in all, I have 24 hrs to look through every single scrap of mail I have and pray I didn't throw my new card away thinking it was junk mail or a statement (I handle all that crap over the phone or online) or I need a new one with a new number (which means changing setting on a lot of online stores), but for now I got my swag. And I really hate Fridays. BTW, anybody else have trouble getting White Out to sit in the damn vehicle? That thing was not meant for skirted figs. |

I actually glad I preordered the first wave from BBTS now, as there's no damn way we're seeing any PoC in these parts until they clearance all that away.
