Yesterday was a very interestiing day for me and I learned a lot about retail I had forgotten.
Omega started running wonky while mowing yesterday.
I have some surgeries coming up and I decided to go get a Casio watch and send the Omega in. The light and timing fnction os excellent of pre-op/post-op meds, etc.
Sure.
I needed the watch yesterday or I would, as I always do, order online. I have not be in anything other than a FAPS on HW/feed store much at all in the past three/four years.
How hard can this be? First stop, the Catch-All local HW store. Watches? Nope.Walgreens, Nope. CVS, Nope.
I decide to CALL Walmart. Yes do but our selection isn't great.
Very helpful young man gets me to the watch section and the $31 watch I am looking for. He tells me WM is getting out of a lot of the of a lot of markets like cheap watches because they just don't sell.
Amazon hammers them in certain areas. Retail numbers are godlike, BTW, and tracked like Secretariat.
I have zippy anngst with Wally, I would just prefer never do it again.
