SD500-less

I'm sad. When I read that it would be possible to save another fifty ducks on my camera purchase, I jumped with joy (as much as I could jump for joy, which really isn't that high a jump).

So I made the trek to Best Buy, smile on my face, coupon in my hand, and a skip in my step. Infront of the cameras, who do I happen to see but Simren, the nice Sales Associate that helped me last week. She recognized me and I told her that her prediction had come to fruition: I was going to buy a Canon. I asked her, hope in my heart, if I could price-match with Black's and use the coupon at the same time.

She said no.

My heart sank.

That was the end of my adventure for the day. I asked her about accessories. They were expensive compared to Henry's, and Henry's is expensive. Well, I am getting a discount with Henry's... Still, it's a shame that I couldn't save that extra fifty ducks.

But I'm not sad anymore, 'cause it's only money. I've been saving for a camera since last Christmas, I can wait a few more days and still have it ready for Mom's big birthday. Also, another plus: I got to watch and listen to Simren upsell me on accessories, warranties, and a bunch of other junk I didn't need. She's good. She almost had me. I might could place her somewhere in the future... Hmmm...

Make it 6 Arvin

Thank you, anonymous. Whoever you are.
