Bah, Humbug: Try to Buy A Tree
I just want to vent about how wilfully stupid some people are, ah gaaaaaah, ahhhh, AIIIEEE, their vengeance for having jobs they don't really want, I suppose.
I said,
What price on a living blue spruce?
That's seven words, only five with content, of which she instantly forgot three:
"What kind of tree?"
Blue Spruce.
"We don't have any cut ones in stock."
I don't want a cut one. I asked for a living one.
This is why Savant doesn't let me make medical appointments. Within five minutes, steam is streaming out of my ears while I imagine blood pouring out of theirs.
Same call, different place:
"Well. Price. There's the price of the tree, plus we charge you for soil and mulch, plus delivery, plus installation itself which is 100% of the original price of the tree, not sale price."
So like:
$125 tree (which might be on sale but prob not)
$125 installation
$ 3 soil and no, I have my own mulch, thanks
$ 80 delivery

$333 tree, cuz they're only half-evil
I'm going to plant a damn pine cone and be done with it.
