OK, that is a snotty title, and said with a bit of sarcasm - OK A LOT of sarcasm - but seriously, why in the world does helping out others, or doing my bit for the Green Earth gig have to be so bleeping hard!?!?!
OK, I have wasted countless time looking for some recycling bins that Jeff fell in love with because they are the perfect size for the one area in his garage that he is willing to dedicate to my recycling cause. To top it off, my slightly OCD hubby LOVED that these bins came with lids and stack nicely on top of one another.
So, off to Lowes with a cranky 6 mo old (who is now almost 9mo old, I have been dealing with this for that long). Track down someone who wants to help a mom with said baby on a Sunday, after much head scratching I have been declared daft and that no such bin exists. OK, I have seen the bins I know they exist.
So, I look online similar bins are going for anywhere between $50 and $100+shipping. Bite me I'm not paying that to throw in what would have been trash.
OK, I now have the model# and model name (thanks Diane), Google it and viola, I can pick up 3 bins at Sears, after applying my gift card it will take me a few minutes of my time and I basically get these bad boys for free. Easy, right?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, idiots at Sears promise what they don't have. After 30 minutes of sitting in the hot loading dock I am told they only have one. FINE, I'll take it.
I am not happy. I probably truly only need 2 but now I only have one, they are on clearance and no more are here in Wichita. I go back to my laptop and I can order one online but now I do not trust Sears' to have its crap straight.
Moral of the story, no good deed goes unpunished!
