Ok I usally the go lucky person on holiday not letting things get to me,, HUH not today..... here it goes from begining....
My hubby always looking at sound system and he does so much for me I decided to get him one this yr for christmas. Now doing it without him know is harder yet. I had my dad assit me along with my son in law. So we went to our big Furniture store Nebraska Furniture Mart, (wal mart would let hubby in I think).. Pick out the semi chepest one, ran me $199.00, yet had to wait to get it in a week, being thursday 12/18/08. OK son in law get it for me on way home from work not a biggy. Well my folks got a call said it wont be in till Saturday 12/20. Since we were stuck in KC mom said ok with that. Now here what ruin my day yet I get what I want....
Son in law went down there on 12/20 and they told him since he wasnt there in time,(no one told us time limit) that they gave only one in stock to someone else. Wont have another till Tuesday or Wednesday. HELL no, this aint happening. I called and politlity told the manger I was going to cuz him out and why.. And I did. He agree it was wrong, told me paper work not handle properly and want to know how he coud getit correct, I told him to just cancel and thank for Fing up my holiday, he told me to hold on.
He came back with in a minute mind you and said he upgrade it for me.. He would personally get the one in stock and handit to a manger in warehouse and I can come down and get it. OK I said be there in the hour. by golly the manger at the warehouse show me the new system on the computer what it was and compared it to the one I wanted, This thing has more speakers, and being sound and other thing I not sure what all ment, yet when I saw the price of $410.00 I told him I aint paying for that. No madam,, it is your for $199.00 and that is it.. and extended the time to pay for it (NFM credit card) (my dads helps out this way) till the first of Febuary. OK take it and put in my car.
All the way home i thought in my mind I fought the law and I won,,,,,
It dont pay to get to upset, yet get what you want and fight like hell....
Now back to the nice quietness of the holidays,,,,,
And I still think hubby has no clue

Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas!
We ordered a lounge chair to be delivered to the apt building (I would be at work) ... They delivered two. Just alike. PEople hollared when I said I was going to return it. I called & the girl had no idea how. She said no one ever returned one that they weren't billed for. Finally they told us to drop it off at the pick up. When we did, they gave us a 50$ certificate for bringing it back. I have always liked shopping there. You did good :)
Merry Christmas!

NFM is very well known for making these kinds of (¿)mistakes(?)...hahaha
it's always first come first serve, ya know........so when you threatened to just take your business elsewhere, and with economics being the way they are, the manager had no choice but to upgrade your purchase or lose the sale.....not good business when so many stores are closing up anyways.....
in a world like ours today, you can't always be nice or the retailers will take advantage of you....and you might have been talked into "buying" the more expensive system.......
So glad it worked out.
