I would have bought one, but I left my wallet at work.
Oh and that would mean he's on sale, right?
Funny/infuriating story.
I went to go buy the set since there were 3 on the shelf. I went to go pay for it, while it was on sale, and it came up "Do Not Sell Until 03/15" which is fine. I can live with that. They were kind enough to ask if I wanted it put aside until the 15th, so I said yet. But I also asked them if they would honor the sale price. That's when the manager popped her head up and started acting like a jerk. Ha ha.
She SPRINTED to the TF section and yanked all of the G2 Menasors off the shelf. Since this seems like it was an issue, I told her she should give her other stores a courtesy call to let them know to stop selling them since they have been selling for the last week. After I said that she started treating me like a child. Talking to me in that voice you use when you're "talking" with a baby. I said it's really not a big deal, it's just a toy but other collectors have actually bought them from neighboring stores.
Then she tells me that either I or them are
lying because in her computer it shows that no other stores have it let alone have sold one. I said her system is wrong, I can even show her pictures of peoples purchases with receipts, all the while telling her that at this point I don't even want it any more. If it's off shelf until the 15th, I'm fine with that. But other stores are selling it, and she should be known to her, as a manager, to let the other stores know. So she starts making faces at me and again saying the others who have bought one are lairs and are just "collectors trying to pull a scam".
Now, I'm in customer service for luxury vehicles, so I went into my default service mode. I asked her why she thought she could talk to me the way she was, what her name was, and why she was working without a uniform on if she really was a manager. Her response was, I kid you not "I don't have to tell you". So I just said the date and time out loud, and she gave me another weird look. I told her that's all the info I'll need to give head office when I call tomorrow (today).
So I haven't called Head Office yet, but I did call a TRU close to my work and they said they would be HAPPY to put one aside for me for the sale price. I'm going to pick it up now, actually.
Oh, and Deluxe Thurnderhoof and Quillfire are out at TRU as well. I think they said Legends Bisq and co were out as well.
