I finally relented and got a Jay­car trade card. Some­thing snapped when I went in to buy 30 mains plugs. I got my dis­count, though, so all is well. Only ended up sav­ing $7.50 off list price for that kind of quan­tity, but it all adds up, I guess. It’s $30 cheaper than at sin­gle unit pric­ing, so that’s a lit­tle more snazzy.

I’m telling you this in case I get fat and more pale and grow my hair slightly-too-long-to-have-gel-in-it and then use gel anway, or, alter­na­tively, go bald, and grow a seedy goa­tee and end up work­ing there. Heh, retail geeks, sif ;-)

Nah, they’re gen­er­ally really nice, just occa­sion­ally (too often) a lit­tle clue­less. And there’s cer­tainly a basis for the stereo­type delin­eated above, if what that place looks like on your aver­age lunch time is any­thing to go by. Although there were a dis­pro­por­tion­ate num­ber of female cus­tomers in the store… and there was a female employee there, even! Shock! Mind you, she is asian, so I sup­pose that’s permissible.

Any­way, stop me if I exhibit any par­tic­u­larly gra­tu­itous nerdishness.
