Pet peeve

By indeedindeed

You know when you’re at a store that requires you to use their discount card to get the discount on sale items? I hate filling out the forms for those things and then getting notified every time yams are two for one or whatever.

Anyway, today I was at CVS and Red Bulls were 3 for $5, and I figured that the lady would give me the discount despite the fact that I don’t have a card. But she refused, and charged me $6.50 for the caffeine. I know she was just doing her job as it was laid by the CVS corporate bosses, but there must an anonymous card floating around somewhere. Help a brother out!

    Why don’t you just sign up for one? Takes 30 seconds.

    I might have an extra keychain card laying around somewhere. I’ll get back to you.

    On an unrelated note, I now know why you’ve been forever praising The Wire on this blog. ITunes has it for download and I’m about halfway through the first season. I have to find someone with the DVDs, though. I can’t keep paying $2 per episode, awesome as it is.

    I hate signing up for them! The junk mail, the… wasted 30 seconds. I don’t have much argument here I guess.

    Really excited that you’ve embraced The Wire. Probably going to set you back about six months in your doctoral studies. I’ve loaned out seasons two and four, but I can give you season three when you’re ready. I’m buying season five with my economic stimulus check, which seems like a nice balance—bush and david simon.

    also, tv on dvd is a good argument for netflix.
