I hate being lied to.

 How do you hold a big box store accountable?

Would burning down a cinder block building work?

I want a new lawnmower. Found a 21" selfpropelled mower on lowes website, $419. Unavailable online.

Mower

Called my local store and no humans on the phone, it's a stupid AI assistant?

What are you looking for, it says. So I go thru the whole process with this ai thing, it says it is in stock at my store.

Get there and a big sign over the front door: Gas mowers in stock.

Yeah, but it's only one style and not the one I want and it is $180 more expensive.

Find the guy back there and tell him I want this one. Sorry not in stock all we got is this one. He doesn't really understand why I'm upset and blows me off. Not the kind you're thinking of.

I complain at customer service and get dismissed there also. So I look online, it's still there. I call my local store again. This time the ai thing does not say it is in stock, it says it is Available for Purchase.

I would buy at a smaller local store but there are none of those here. 

Anyway. How's your saturday been?
