If you had been a good boy this year maybe Racket Claus would have gotten you a Wii U or a PS4. But instead you will either get an Xbone or a 3DS with the 3D slider stuck to full.

So I was in Ross the other day looking for a new jacket since it's starting to get rainy.

I decided to pick up a pair of jeans while I was in there, too. I go try a couple pairs on to get the right size. I come out and decide they aren't going to work. So I put them on the desk at the front of the changing rooms.

The lady asks me if I could get the hangers for her, too. I say no problem and go back to grab them. Only a kid has already made it into the room I was just in. So I go out and tell the lady that.

And she replies, "So, can you go get them?"

Oh yeah, sure, no problem lady. I'll just become a registered sexual offender so you don't have to inconvenience yourself by walking back there after the kid is gone. :roll:

Customer service is dead.

You could have folded the pants and clipped the hangar back on them as you were done trying each pair too. :P

When I was first told that working 14 hours is a lot harder than 8 hours, I figured "heck, it won't be that bad. It'll be about as strenuous as working 8 hours and goofing off at home for the rest of the evening like I usually do." Nope. Way more exhausting.

How come Nintendo didn't just use plastic cases? I mean Sega was using them. It just sucks that you have to pay $10 - $20 more for CIB Nintendo games.

Nintendo never looks at their competition for ideas.
