Author Topic: I did something stupid, yesterday Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-09-2002 04:21 PM                        I was struck by an expensive touch of 'Senior Moments' yesterday. Here is what happened. I was not able to go to Costco to buy a DVD copy of the "LORD OF THE RINGS" until late yesterday afternoon. Beside the DVD, I picked up a drug prescription for my mother and a gallon of skim milk and orange juice and placed them all in a shopping cart. After I paid for the items, I remember placing the milk and the juice in the car and my mother's drugs was in my pocket and I assumed I had also put the DVD in the car. WRONG! After I got home and took the stuff I bought out of the car, I discovered there was no DVD. You guessed it. I forgot to take the DVD out of the cart and someone got my DVD of "LOTR" at my expense. Well, it's time to make another trip to Costco tomorrow and buy another copy. -Claude  |  IP: Logged John Daily Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Upstate, NY, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 08-09-2002 04:32 PM                    Yes, but focus on the bright side here, Claude. Think of how *happy* you made that person!  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

I did not expect a positive answer but to my surprise, the DVD was found and turned in. I was asked to bring in the receipt which I still have and they will give me the DVD. In my opinion, Costco is the best and that is why I shop there. Sorry Brad for that commercial endorsement but I just want everyone to know how well Costco take care of their customers -Claude  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-09-2002 06:56 PM                     Wow, what an honest staff. Things like that are always good to hear about.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

We say that down here in The Bahamas, too. We also give interesting traffic directions...  |  IP: Logged John Daily Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Upstate, NY, USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 08-09-2002 11:31 PM                    Well Claude...since you didn't intentionally leave the DVD for someone else, I'd say sainthood isn't in the works for this deed. However, the person who returned it to the store... Glad to hear it all turned out well, and I'm very surprised. It's nice to know there are truly honest people out there.  |  IP: Logged
