Ask me...Go ahead and just ASK me how my day went. We have been waiting for five days for our new refridgerator to arrive...as you can see, cobwebs have grown and a Wicked Witch has been flying around me today. So, What Now Donna??? (I KNOW this is your question) WELLLLLLL........Hahahaaaa......Short Version is: When we bought the fridge, I paid for a NEW one, right? Right! I'm not even going to talk about all of yesterday's phone calls from me trying to verify the delivery for today....geeeez. Anyway, this morning two young men deliver the fridge...pull it off the truck, take doors off and haul it into the house. Then they have to attach the water line to the ice maker, and turn the said icemaker On. One tech says to the Other tech, "I don't know! Look in the BOOK!" The Other tech says, "There ISN'T a book!"Ever hear something that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck??? I was around the corner in the playroom listening to this exchange....I hear the words...I'm out of my chair and in the kitchen...GLARING! I say..."What do you Mean, there's NO BOOK?"
NO book taped to the back...
NO book taped somewhere inside...
NO book taped to Either young man's heads...nothing...nada.
OK, I PAID for a new one...I WAITED for five days to take delivery....Hummmm...something Stinks in Denmark! And I know what it is......FLOOR DISPLAY is sitting in my kitchen! Complete with a DENT on the front door!
Looking calmly at the young men, I informed them that from this point on, Anything that I say is NOT to be taken personally and I am Very aware that they are Not to blame for my rising anger. They say "Yes Mam, we do..."
Several dark and malicious words were said...couldn't have been ME saying these things! NoNo...wudden Me! )(Techs dialing phones Rapidly) Well, I'm a little blurry on the details....BUT, here's how it ended!
I keep the said FLOOR DISPLAY until Saturday MORNING (because I refuse to kill another workday). Then I get the REAL Refrigerator...The NEW and PAID for one. Complete with an added Warranty of five years (bringing total to Nine yrs warranty) paid for by Lowes.
Hubby took me to Lowes after I got back to the shop and told him they had taken our money and figured we wouldn't notice we were being given a USED one! Makes me wonder how many other people do not realise this happens! IF there's NO BOOK...Start asking BIG questions! Take a GOOD look at your new appliance!
Mr Lowes Manager was very kind to us...Now, he's Straightening out things with his employees....He's new and needs to "set his tone" with his people....Heheheeee....
This saga is not yet over....We await Saturdays blooming morn....
I Love the word blooming....
