Curses!

Do YOU ever feel cursed? Not your life, other things. I feel cursed at a couple retail places. One is a store called Meijer. It's a little like GemCo or in these times, Super WalMart. I like the non-food side of the store. But the food side of the store SUCKS! The shoppers are all snotty and rude and after I did the grocery shopping there once, I vowed never to return. Then one day (about a year later) I decided I would give them a 2nd chance. I could have been in a bad mood that day. Nope...it SUCKED again. Not too long ago, Bill and I needed a couple things at the store but it was about 9:00 at night. Meijer is closer so he said "c'mon honey, I'll go with you, it'll be ok". HA! The shopping part was ok because it was late ~ not too many people. Then we got to the registers. Only one was open so we stood in line to wait for an open do it yourself register, which I hate by the way. There were 4 of them. ALL of them occupied and ALL of them having issues. After waiting a few minutes, one opened up and bam. It stopped working. Screw that. We went to the register with the real person. Only one person in front of us. She turned out out to be the customer from hell. Almost 10 minutes later, we just walked out. Nope, not ever going to shop for food there again. EVER!

Then there's Lens Crafters. I like the eye doctor. He's good, explains things, doesn't rush, nice, etc. I won't get my glasses there again though. Not that the staff isn't good. I like them too. But they have messed up glasses 3 years in a row. Seriously. I am cursed at Lens Crafters. Three years ago, they put the wrong lenses in my frames. Two years ago, the lab lost my glasses and we had to start over. This year, they put my reading Rx into my computer glasses and my computer Rx into my reading glasses. I wonder what the odds are? Well, no matter...3 strikes and you're out.
