Who wants to travel on a bumpy road?

It seems there are no longer any smooth roads to travel, Every time one turns around you are on a bumpy one. I beginning to think that the people today only have a half brain that only holds a few cells. Why is it that people haven’t been receiving an education like people use to have. You ask a sales person something and they just stand there and look at you ( Du) You have to wake them up, then draw a picture and then they in turn have to find someone else to help.

I went into a hardware store a few days ago and wanted to get three different items, I couldn’t find them myself, so I ask for help. I tried to make the salesman understand what I wanted and he showed me everything else in the store and said, this is all that we have. I told the salesperson to forget it and I would just look around while I was there. Within a few minutes I had found two of the items I was looking for. I went to the checkout counter to check out, paid the girl and left the store.

On the way home, I stopped at another hardware store and went in and found the third item on my list. Arriving at home, I found that the item I purchased at the first store would not work, so back to the hardware store I went.
At the counter, I told the lady that I wanted to return the item and she had to call the store manager. He didn’t appear to be in the store and every sales person at the store said he had either gone home, or in the bath room, or waiting on another customer, no one knew where he was. After about half an hour, he was found to be sitting in his office. It seems that the girl at the counter did not know how to use the intercom and he never received a message. The next fifteen minutes were used to discuss what could be wrong with the intercom and how to fix it.

I kept telling them all I wanted was to return this one item and finally the manger took it from my hand along with the sales slip and left, He returned soon after and said: they didn’t have one and he didn’t think I got it at this store. as they didn't stock them. I said yes, I did get it at this store and it hadn’t been over a hour ago. I told him to look at the sales slip it would tell him. Now the sales lady and everyone else, wree searching their pockets for the sales slip. Everyone was searching for the sales slip, even the ones that hadn’t been there at that time. They even looked in the cash drawer for a check, that I didn’t write, “I used cash”.

The manager told me, they would have to look up the item number to find the price of and said he would call me when that was done. I gave him my name and phone number and left.
Two days have gone by and no call has been received. Tomorrow, I will find a big mean looking dog that will scare the hell out of people and back to the store we will go. Then it is a letter to someone, when I learn who that is? If that doesnt work, I'll find a biggest meanest Bull or a wild Mule and turn them lose in that store! God save the Queen, because that store manager's butt belongs to me.
