Today I trucked over to the local Salvation Army store in search of a nice tweed jacket I could have converted. Lo' and behold, there it was. A gorgeous Scottish made Harris tweed with traces of green, grey and blue running through it. Patch pockets as well, a conversion dream. And it fit me almost like it was made for me. But alas, it lacked a price sticker and no how much I argued and reasoned and talked to managers, their policy is no sticker they will not sell it. All their jackets ranged from about $4.00 to $6.00. I offered to give them $20.00, but no dice. I tried to discern when I could come back and get it with the price sticker, but they would not/could not tell me when, nor would consider holding it. No doubt by the time I return it will have been stickered and sold to some other $*%& who could not possibly appreciate it as much as I. I walked out without purchasing the other 7 or 8 other items I was going to get as well.

<sigh> Thanks for letting me get that frustration off my chest. Idiots are maddening.
