WTF, BORDERS, WTF?!

RRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

Last time I was in Borders to check on the shelves, I asked about taking them out, and I was told that the liquidation company would be there for several days after they closed and that was pickup time as well. Therefore, I felt we had a good window to get them. We can't just go up when we like since we have to rely on Jose for help carrying them and the use of his flatbed trailer.

The store closed Sunday.

Go by today to check on what times they're open now that the store is closed, and I am informed that the last pickup day is TODAY, BEFORE 5pm. WTF. EVERYTHING else is gone, we were not called, what the hell is this??? Furthermore, the liquidation is over, and they are closing the doors of this store PERMENANTLY tomorrow at 5pm, so after that it's just not possible anymore. Today is actually the last day for fixture movement, tomorrow is them doing other stuff on that location. I'll stop by later to make it clear that we'll come by tomorrow so we don't show up and see they decided to close early. Dad's going to have to take a day off, and I won't be home to sign for a package from the pharmeceuticals, DAMN IT. We could go get Patsy's pickup, though the bed isn't really long enough for that, and it would involve LIFTING the shelves up on it. If we absolutely have to, we'll just show up to move the shelves outside into the alley and wait for Jose to get off work so he can help us, which he HOPEFULLY can tomorrow. Although just carrying them out is going to be a job if it's Dad and me.

Apparently the mistake I just couldn't stop making was believing ANYTHING that anyone in the store told me about this whole exchange.

Christ, they look at me like I'm crazy when I was so shocked too, saying that I'd been told there would be several days after the actual closing. I'm treated like I'm being completely unreasonable and weird with every new twist on this, and that makes it even more infuriating. AAAAAAGGGHHH, I just cannot BELIEVE this!
