Saturday...27 September 2014

Grand Final Day. Rather special to be in Victoria for grand final day. Our teams were not playing but it was still great to watch the game on television and listen to all the cheering and encouragement being shouted in caravans all over the park. Well done Hawthorn.
Have made two attempts to buy something from Spotlight in this Central Victorian town. First try we were told the item was not on special even though more than one of them were on the specials table. We put it back and went home to think about needing it. Decided today to buy it regardless of the higher price.
Into the store, pick up the item, no mucking around, no browsing at other items, just get the planned purchase and go to the check out. Simple, in and out in five minutes. But......
Got to the checkout and was told, sorry we are closed, no we will not put your one item through the check out. We closed 30 seconds ago. Put it down and leave. Spotlight, you suck!!! If you are closed how come we could still enter the store?
This is what is wrong with retail today. We could have gone online and had the item mailed to us but we thought we were doing the right thing putting our money into the local economy. Guess it is doing real fine without us thank you very much. Not happy Jan!
