A trip to Costo turns into something entertaining.

Here's some fun. So how do Costco and Deadwood mix? Like this:

Costco is a nice place. Lots of stuff. Occasional good prices on DVDs.

I've also been watching Deadwood the last few days. The lowdown is that due to a coupon, each season costs $30 where it would otherwise be $50, at Costco.



So I'm minding my own business watching an episode of Season 2, and the disc starts skipping on me. I thought "Oh hell no, you did not just do that." After multiple cleaning attempts it still would not work. All right, time to pay a visit to the Costco returns department.

When I got there, I happened to be standing behind some dude who was returnign linguine. I felt like backing away slowly, but decided to stick around anyway. Anyway I am able to return it, but not after a long conversation with the damn lady. First I find out via my brother that there are no more coupons left. And secondly I can't exchange the DVD for a new one, only refund it. That's fine, but then I'd have to pay $50 for a new one. No good. I mention most of this to the lady and hand her the membership card:

"Wait, this isn't your card."
"It's my mom's."
"You can't shop with this."
"Yes I can."
"She has to add you to the card. I'll have to put a block on the card."
After a little more of this, I'm like "Just give me the refund."

BUT HOLD UP TIME OUT:

She gives me a $50 refund when I actually paid $30, because she failed to pay attention to the coupon that I mentioned repeatedly, which was the primary reason I was there. "Uh excuse me miss--you gave me extra money--oh wait you were an asshole? Guess you'll be wondering why you're missing $20 when it's time for the final count at closing time numbnuts."

So anyway, I'm about to leave, because I don't have the coupon booklet....but I find out that the lady in Aisle 7 has it and scans the coupons in for people. Sounds like a nice person that I should pay a visit to.

I get another copy of the DVD, and get a spot in aisle number 7. Oh guess what, she scans the coupon, and gets someone to overrides the override that that other dumbass put on the card.

Summary: Lady gives me $20 for free.
