Just got back from morning errands. One of which was to pick up a new 6v battery for the tub. I looked up online last night and my local Advanced Auto showed one in stock. $99 + core. I brought the old one with me for the core.

I walk in with my core, set it on their battery cart and tell the clerk I'd like the 6v battery (I give brand and model #). He says "We don't have any 6v batteries in stock." I reply - according to the website for your store, yes you do." He asks for the part #. "Take out your phone and show me." I reply I don't use my phone for the Internet....I have a desktop at home for that. Do you want me to run home and get the info for you?" He takes out his phone and looks it up by asking through the microphone. Says "I'll be darned...they are showing 1 in stock. Let me go look."

Goes and looks and comes back with the battery. I pay and he gets mixed up with the change....guess he punched in the wrong cash amount I gave him (?) Total was $108.09. I gave him $110.10. Change should have been $2.01. He finally gives me $2. I say "What about the penny?" He says "I actually gave you more back than your change was." I reply "No you didn't but keep the penny anyway...someone may need it." Which is what I would have done anyway if he'd have handed it to me.

Battery is home and on charge now.

Happy Friday!
