Seinfeld At The Mall
Things have been quite a bit busy around here and there these days. I’ve had to travel for work, and that wasn’t planned, so I’ve been away.
The birthday party was great, perhaps more later. Today is not so good, MR is sick, and we don’t know with what.
My Life as a Seinfeld Episode: So I was given a pair of shoes from Jarman for my birthday back in July, right? And I had to return them to get a larger size, and then we had to order them because some other mutant bought the size I need. That was in August, and in November I noticed the sole splitting right across the ball of the foot. So, I took them back (several times, it seems that managers are the only people allowed to think at Jarman; and they are always away from the store…) and the guy just gives me a new pair! Six Months Later!
Needless to say, I am very pleased. The Sienfeld moment came here: I say, “So, there was something wrong with them, huh?” Or something innane like that. He winks at me and says, “I just want you to be a satisfied customer.”
If I were George or Jerry, I would have spent the next several days pouring over the wink (What did it mean? Why did he wink? What is the meaning of the wink?) Eventually, I am sure I would have taken the shoes back and demanded my old pair, no doubt calling the guy several names in the process.
Thank God I’m not them, I just scored a brand new pair of shoes.
