Sometimes things are startlingly simple. I wanted to get rid of an old, dead TV, so I drove it to a recycler and they took it for $20. In fact, I just had to drive into a warehouse and the kid grabbed it out of the back seat. That was easy. Actually getting the TV into the back seat was a bit more tricky.
So why was it so hard to (try to) get a free tape measure?
I got this coupon with the new hot water tank. I waited while they looked all over the store for the free tape measures and they finally told me there weren’t any to be had. Off I go. Thanks for your money, go away. I wasn’t the only one today. They told me a woman had come in this morning and they turned her away too.
If you’re feeling like you’ve been had, just head to your local furniture store, tell them you need to measure something to see if it fits in your home, and get your free yardstick. I know, who needs a yardstick, right? But at least you actually get it!
How could you give up so easy? Did you make the manager come help you?
