Radio Shack – Call First

Okay, I knew I should have done this BEFORE I drove to the Radio Shack store on Polk. See, there is a store on Lombard that is very close to my crib, but the online deal said that the Polk store was the only one that had the best reviewed HDTV antenna. So, I drive down there, get the splitters, cable, connectors and such and then ask the girl that works there if she can find the model I was looking for. I was good enough to write down all of the model numbers for the items I wanted on a sticky note. Of course, she said, I don’t think we have that, but let me check. She goes downstairs, comes back a minute later and says, “Yeah, we are out of that one right now. But, one is on order and we should have it on Friday.”

My bad.

This just proves, that no matter how much homework you do online, you still have to call to make sure that a store actually has what their online deal says they have on hand. Something about the computer not updating every day was muttered by the girl that worked there.  I didn’t even respond.
