Sarge gets tossed...

So it's Saturday and we're all having fun, right?  Well everyone but Sarge.  He got tossed out of the WalMart!  Yup, you read that right.  Here's the story:  About a week ago he buys a new Water Pik from the local WalMart.  He brings it home and charges it up and happily uses it for about four days.  Then it won't work any more.  It won't charge, nothing.  Dead as a doornail.  So he says to himself, self?  I'll just return it, the WalMart will take anything back, that's their motto so off we go.

Now luckily for me my hip was hurting so I stayed in the car.  I say luckily because I sure wouldn't have wanted to be there when he went "off" on 'em.  

He goes up to the counter and the lady says where is the box?  He didn't save the box.  Who does that?  Then she says where is the receipt?  Who saves those either?  Remember this thing worked for a while, right?

Then she makes her fatal mistake.  She tells him "no tickey, no laundry"...  No she did not!  Yes she did.  He quoted their policy to her.  He asked for a manager.  She said she was the floor manager.  Really?  She says no no no exchange.  He asks nicely and tries to rationalize with her for a bit.  She's having none of it.  

Now he's starting to boil over at this point and I suppose I don't blame him but I would have handled it differently.  What did he do?  He threw the thing.  She called the (WalMart) cops.  He got bounced.  

So he comes out to the car and tells me this and right away I have the answer.  Just buy another one, get the receipt and the box, put the old one in it and return the thing.  So that's what we did.  Luckily we have four WalMarts in our local area.  The end.

Have a lovely Saturday, I know I will.
