Hockey starts on Friday. I've been waiting and waiting. In preparation, I went to Canadian Tire to but a couple of replacer peices of equipment. Seeing I was still using some of my old ringette stuff from the 80's, I figured it was time to treat myself to some brand new, never been used by anyone else but me equipment.
I really needed elbow pads. So I found a great pair and brought them to the till to pay. She charged me for each one! So I asked her, are those not sold as a pair? "Oh I don't know" So some young guy, also an employee says, " there sold seperately" So I asked if there were alot of one armed hockey players out there (rude, I know). He tells me its in case you lose one, you can just come back and buy the one. I said, if I lose one, I'll come back and buy a new PAIR. "Uh...then you'd have three" was his reply. I'm not sure why, but I felt annoyed. I asked him if shoes were also sold seperately for this reason, or socks, or mittens. He looked at me like I was comparing apples and oranges!
Finally I just requested that he call the sports department and inquire on my behalf. He did and guess what? They were sold as a pair. Who would have thought?
I am now the proud owner of 2 elbow pads. Not one, nor three. Just two. Also 2 new shin pads(there was never a question about whether they were sold as seperate items. THAT would be silly).
So, now I just gotta wait 3 more days to wear my crisp new gear and skate my summer sized butt off! Roll on Friday!

LOL! Good for you! Snot nosed brats always think they know everything, and if they don't have the answer, they will make it up!
OMG - Joanne, that is hilarious..., almost as good as Brandy's story of when she wanted to return her white cowboy boots that she had bought, claiming she never wore them, although could not explain the rocks found on the bottom...,
Oh that is good stuff...,
