Shenanigans with Ms. Avery Reese today. Avery came home to get her car today. Paul has had it the last few days taking off the snow tires, changing the oil and making it safe for her to drive.
While she was home, she visited with the dogs. She has been wrestling with the idea of getting a new phone, because she needs more storage.
She decided she did want to go ahead and make the plunge with a new phone. We planned to visit Verizon together later in the afternoon.
When we arrived we were told to wait. Avery and I played word games and Mancala (which she kicked my butt) while we waiting. We could help to overhear this lady’s conversation.
She and her boyfriend or son? Went into an upgrade together. Their phones were ordered, and they had just come in. This lady had a difficult time understanding that if she and someone else ordered phones together, they would have to pick them up together and pay the total bill.
This lady was patient BUT also kind of a pain in the rump. Turns out, she only had the cash for her phone. Like bills and coins. The poor sales associate and this lady went round and round as this poor lady just didn’t understand.
As we were being helped, there was finally resolution. And the lady left. Then there were just the workers and us in the store.
The phone Avery wanted was of course, out of stock. They couldn’t order it because they had “manufacturing issues”. Eye roll.
I embarrassed Avery as the guy helping us went to walk to the back to get the color choices, I spoke up and let him know the color she wanted. I wanted to save the guy time as she had already decided.
According to Avery, I “yelled across the entire store.” I maintain that I projected my voice so he would hear me. She then proceeded to mock me for the entire ride back to campus for me to drop her off. We were both laughing about it.
Her version was I “yelled across the store”. I didn’t care for the voice that she used to mimic mine. The voice she chose to mimic mine was a cross between murderous and manly. “I don’t sound like that!” I said. My version was I projected my voice so he could hear me and didn’t waste his time. Either way, no matter whose account is accurate, we laughed about it.
As were we’re finishing up, the lady came back in to try another time to pick up her phone without the other person. The worker had the patience of a saint and was so kind to her. I liked that.
When Avery and I saw the woman walk back in the store we both quietly winced for the man. Oh that poor salesman.
