so.

we went to get her a new modem. we asked the sheldon at the buy more what did he recommend and he recommended the $99 one but agreed the $59 would do just fine. when we got over to her house and unpacked it and tried to plug it in there was no place for DSL because it was A CABLE MODEM! d'oh! thanks a lot, SHELDON. forjeez.

so we packed it up to take it back.

standing on line for exchange was a tidgebit confusing because there were two separate line entrances at separate ends of the counter. why? why, buy more, whyyyy?

two ladies were There First. they gave me the OhNoYouDont look. when Busy Clerk finished with her transaction, i turned to There First Ladies and was like, "have y'all been helped?" and TFLs go, "yes."

clearly - it was my turn.

i approached Busy Clerk and started in with "need to exchange..." and got about as far as "need to exchange..." when the TFLs come barreling down on us with "you SAID you would give US a refund! that IS what you SAID!!"

clearly - it was not my turn.

TFLs got their refund, Busy Clerk vacated the counter, and i was left presiding over Queue Of The Bewildered. we managed to flag down some help and all got out of there safely. (story ends with a fuzzle, not a boom.)
