Shopping for skates.
I went out and bought some ice skates. I promised the kids that we’d go skating again this weekend since they loved it so much last weekend. They put skates on their list for Santa. The sporting goods store I went to had and unbelievable price on figure skates so I picked up a pair for my daughter. Unfortunately they did not have any for boys, all they offered were double blades in size 12 and 13 and then jumped to men’s sizes. An employee at the store called the other store that was about 30 minutes away and asked if they had a pair, the employee told me they were holding them a the front counter for 24 hours. I get to the other location, really pressed for time as I have chili in the crock pot at home, expecting my kids to be dropped off at any time and I left my cell phone at home! There was nothing at the front counter for me and no one admitted to taking the call. An employee takes me back to the skate section and there are NO boy’s figure skates, just like the store I was just at! I was fuming mad! He asked me “Are you sure you want to get him figure skates? When I was a kid, I asked my mom for skates and she got me figure skates but I wanted hockey skates” Yes, my son wants figure skates! No one was apologetic and I’m writing letters to managers!
