A Photo of weed-whacker oil???

I swear those people have finally lost their minds. Did a tractor shop and in the course of events you're supposed to ask if they carry oil for the weed-whacker, then after they rummage around and find it for you, you're supposed to take a blankety-blank PHOTO of the blankety-blank oil before telling them you no longer want said oil. It's bad enough that you're also supposed to take a photo of the small tractor you had to ask about and then two more outside without it being a blankety-blankety blank blank blank REVEAL. By this time if they haven't guessed that you're a shopper then for sure they think you're an escaped mental patient with a fixation for farm equipment.

Yes, they HAVE finally jumped the trolly totally.

I guess they thought you were a nutcase. Sorry, but your post made me laugh and not in a mean way.

I'm chuckling too.

Did you try the "I'm putting this on my Facebook page" to throw them off the scent?

Time to build a bigger bridge.

Cettie, just tell them you are Goat Queen of Zoltar and you should have no further problems.

Cettie, I completely agree!! But it paid good here. Now add to your comment that the shop here was way way way off the beaten path and Walmart was closer as were several other tractor supply stores. If they didn't think women were dumb before I got there, they probably did after I left!!!

Tawana,
Playing dumb with conviction and sincerity is one of the necessary skills of a good shopper, regardless of hair color or gender!

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Agree! Who would think a female senior would want a hot, sexy, red sports car with manual shift.

Me.

Attention car salesmen! Do not show a female senior a sh**box with no guts, especially when she requested a hot, sexy, red sports car with a 5 speed.

What do we know, eh?

Me too! Me too!

Actually, I already own one which makes a shop so much easier, hahaha.

I also had to laugh at the instructions which said to decline the offer of a test drive on the TRACTOR if they should suggest one. Yee Haw! Me having an adventure on a John Deere would definitely be a whole book unto itself.

OH Please do! I want pictures!!! LOL

We have a tractor and I drive it.

I have a New Holland and an Allys Chalmers, I married a farm boy. Just haven't been lucky enough to find myself perched on top of a John Deere yet.

John Deere is very popular with the cotton farmers here. The cotton strippers are also John Deere and my cousin bought a machine that strips cotton and bales it. It cost almost $900,000 !!!!

Anyway, I think I just hijacked your thread. Oops.

I did one over a week ago it is still setting it has not been approved it don't say on hold just waiting to submit to client. If anyone did this shop how long dit it take to be approved???

That was a good song. I think it was by Kenny Chesney?

Hello Gertie,
I just wanted to thank you for the giggle, I needed that. I got a visual of my very proper and formal grandmother on a tractor. That in itself was funny. Seriously though, I agree that some of the expectations for non-reveal shops that I have seen really make me wonder if the company has lost their cotton picking mind.

Who's Gertie?
