Fred Is Legal!

I had an apt. to take the truck to Sandy's RV this morning so they could check out what it is I want and if it could be done. When I got there a couple went in just ahead of me and one guy was at the counter who couldn't speak much English so I knew that would take a while. the other couple needed to order something so the guy was working with the. Then this other guy walks in and they asked who was next, I said I am. So the guy walks right up there to tell them his problem and both the sales people jump right into his tale. I know I started to show my annoyance and the kid said I will be right with you, then another guy walks in and they took him. The kid grabs his hat and said OK lets look at the the truck as I turned to walk out another guy walks up to the counter and the kid said oh let me take care of this man. I said don't hurry I'M Leaving and out the door I went. Some really nice guy used to work there and when it was your turn it was your turn.  The work I wanted done could have cost a couple hundred dollars I guess the cheaper things were more important to them. I also recommended this place but will never do so again and of course I will never step foot in there again.

So off I went to get Fred his license. The street I was looking for no longer exists WTH! I got caught in this industrial center and wound up back at the freeway. I had to go quite away out of the way to finally get the street I needed. It was now 10 am.  Then found out they don't open until 12. So my sister and I sat outside and waited for about an hour. Pretty soon the heat was really getting up there and we both forgot out water. So off we went to find water and a bathroom. We had smoothies at McDs and wasted as much time as we could. It wasn't enough we still had 1/2 to wait but we stuck it out since it is really far from where we live. But once they opened I was in grabbed the first window and I was finished in less than 5 min. Fred is now legal.

I'm glad I am all done with all this running for a while. My friend Terry said there is a guy where she lives that has a little RV business on the side so she will talk to him for me.

Here's my new pottery


This is the box and some cars for Smiley
 I had a plan for the tip but it didn't work out. So now I will have to put my thinking cap on to make this fun.


Tomorrow I plan on staying HOME!

Good Night All

  1. yay Fred! and yay new pottery and

    HISS on Sandy's RV ... I tell you, Jo... nothing makes me any hotter than to be treated that way.

    I have had that very same thing happen to me... and I said ... excuse me?! .. we'll be right with you ma'm...

    Is your manager here? .... they do NOT need to get by with that kind of stuff... I hate it and I want to go punch 'em out right now...

    ... same thing happens at Home Depot and Lowe's kind of places... had one guy ask me if my husband knew how expensive it was to pull up carpet when I asked him if he could give me a price on some laminate ...

    where are you going to put the laminate... I said ... on the floor ... what's there now.... carpet ... and thus the does my husband know.

    man?

  2. Rude sales associates are becoming the norm, not to mention customers who in this me world can't seem to wait their turn.
    Glad Fred is legal, I don't think he would do well in doggy jail as spoiled as he is.

    1. Yes it does seem the norm these days. They missed out on a good sale and maybe lots of lost customers.
      Fred spoiled ? No way. LOL

  3. I was glad when Circuit City went out of business. I went in once to buy a car radio, and when the sales person started to help me a man walked in and he helped the man without a word to me. I left in a huff but stopped at the Customer Svc Desk and asked for the manager. I told him I would never set foot in a C.C. again, and that if I had been looking at washing machines I would have several sales people trying to help me. But car radios - what does a woman know about that! I won't ever do business with companies that are rude and insulting to me. Good for you for walking out.

    1. Hi Gypsy,

      It's really getting bad out there. No wonder I hate shopping so much. I love Best Buy, while there prices are much higher on things you are always helped and if they can't answer your questions they call another sales person on a radio they don't just walk away from you. To bad it isn't a full service everything store. :)

  4. Sorry about your experience with the rude people at Sandy's RV.

    Sounds like you had a frustrating day all the way around, but at least you got the license.

    Hope tomorrow is a much better day!

    1. Hi Sharon,

      I sat back last night and took a deep breath and thought about how much I achieved this week and felt much better. things don't always go the way we want but if you just keep trying it will get done.

  5. I have had the same experience and have said "I am next". One time after work I had stood in line for about 15 minutes and my turn was next. A man walked up and said he was in a hurry and the clerk asked me if he could go next. I said "no, I am next" the man threw a completed fit because he wanted to go home and watch a basketball game. Whatever, I went next. People are rude and clerks need to help whomever is next.

    1. I can't believe the mentality of men in this day and age. And the sales, clerks are have no manners either.

    1. Hi Ryan,

      I need to have a deep cycle battery installed somewhere so I can use an electric heart and charge things when I go camping and not have hook ups which would be nice. Hate paying for electric just to run a heater or charge something.

      Yes Fred is happy too. :)
