I've had an old office chair up for sale on Craigslist now for at least two weeks with absolutely no interest. Finally, out of the blue, I get a call from a German lady who just moved to the area. However, she lives about 45 minutes away, and was really weird about coming to pick up the chair. We decided that I would meet her friend, who happened to work at our local Trader Joe's, and I would do the deal with him there.
We're moving out of this god forsaken place at the end of the month, and it occurred to me that we probably have a bunch of food in the pantry that we're not going to use. I did a quick sweep and pulled 3 cans of light coconut milk, a box of pumpkin pancake mix, and a bottle of maple syrup (all trader joe's brand). What the hell, let's try to return this stuff, I seem to be able to return everything else known to man...including dog food.
Dude met me as promised outside of Trader Joe's, and I collected my $ for the used chair. Sold sight unseen, only via photos. I also mentioned to dude that I had a few returns to make, and asked if he could help me. He said sure, no problem, and we went inside.
He turned out to be the assistant manager, and processed my returns in no time flat. I got an exchange coupon worth enough to buy a sixer of their Fat Weasel Ale (7.1%) and a bottle of their Prosecco, which Mrs. Messiah can't seem to get enough of.
Excellent. I love getting it a two-fer.
