I should not be allowed to go to Lowes unsupervised
Mood:  hungry
Okay so this is a follow up to yesterday's entry. Sorry if there was some confusion while reading the entry. When I ran spell check it somehow deleted a whole sentence. I fixed it so now it should make more sense. LOL

Anyway...I took the blinds back to Lowes last night so that I could exchange them for 35" ones. Now remember that I need 35" inch blinds.

I get to the customer service counter and the woman, looking less than enthused, proceeded to try to help me.

CS: Can I help you?
ME: Yes I purchased these blinds yesterday and they are too small. I just need to exchange them for a larger size.
CS: What do you mean they are too small?
ME: They don't fit the windows. These are 34" and I need to get 35" instead.
CS: Did you measure your windows first before you bought them?
ME: Yes....sort of.
CS: Sort of?
ME: I measured the existing blinds instead of the window casing. Lesson learned.
CS: (Looking at me with disgust) Let me see your receipt.
ME: (hand her my receipt) Here you go!
CS: What is this?
ME: My receipt!
CS: This is an internet order.
ME: Yes I ordered them online to pick up here in the store.
CS: *sigh* Well this isn't a store receipt. The only thing I can do is issue you a store credit.
ME: Fine...whatever...just as long as I can get the size blinds I need.

She issues me a store credit which was put onto a gift card so I could go and get my blinds and pay for them at another register.

I head over to the blind isle and noticed there was a woman standing there looking at blinds as well. Fearing that she may take all the blinds in the size I needed, I rushed over and spotted 36" X 64". I grabbed 8 and threw them in my cart. Luckily the woman was looking for 31".

I then proceeded to the checkout lane and handed the woman my gift card. They were the same price as the original blinds I got so I was able to check out quickly.

I arrived at my car and started to put the blinds in the back. As I was unloading them from the cart I looked again at the dimensions. DAMN IT!!!! I need 35" not 36". *UGH!!!* So I loaded them back up in my cart and ran back inside the store.

I arrived back at the customer service desk.

CS: (looking at me with mixture of confusion and disgust) What can I help you with now?
ME: I did it again.
DS: Did what again?
ME: Bought the wrong size.
CS: *sigh* Receipt?
ME: (hand her my receipt) I really shouldn't be allowed in hardware stores unsupervised.
CS: I would tend to agree. (Disgusted look)
ME: Would you like me to return those blinds to the isle for you?
CS: Yes and this time make sure you get the right size? Would you like for me to send someone with you?
ME: No I doubt I will make the mistake a 3rd time. If I do then it is the universe telling me I don't need new blinds.

I smiled and headed back to the isle of blinds. I put the 36" back and got the 35". I triple checked each box.

As I headed out of the store I waved to the CS lady. She has no idea she will be seeing a lot of me. *giggle*

I managed to put up 4 of the 8 blinds last night and they fit nicely. Yay me!
