this was my beautiful dream

regarding this post from a few days ago and the sale at Crow's Nest---if it weren't for the fact that i bought items from that sale, i'd swear it was a figment of my imagination. some really gorgeous dream that came about somewhere in the confines of my (normally) fevered skull. know why?

it disappeared the very next day. and no one seemed to know where it went. O.O;;;

i went in the day after i posted that, looking to see if i might see things i'd missed. also because i distinctly remembered a Soulwax CD somewhere in the mix and wanted to double-check to see what it was. and probably buy it, actually. XD plus, i wasn't kidding when i said it was too overwhelming to take in all at once, and so i wanted to take a look again to see if i might have a better memory of what i'd seen to relay back to anyone interested.

but all the CD singles had gone. the 7"s, 12"s, and 10"s were all there---but no longer were the 7"s 4 for $10. all were back to $2.98 apiece. which still isn't bad, but.

the REALLY irksome thing about this was that no one was very sure where they'd gone. i asked some dude who worked there, and he was v. friendly and tried to be helpful, but no one had told him where they'd gone, and he seemed just as surprised as i was. i didn't have any problem with him---i've been on his end of things enough times (you know, when management doesn't see fit to inform their underlings of What's Going On and so they look like doofii to customers asking What's Going On, completely through no fault of their own? :P) he tried to get information for me, and i appreciated that.

what really DID suck, however, was the rude fucker behind the counter. he clearly wasn't listening to anything i or his coworker had to say, and decided to do the patronising-wow-what-a-dumbass-customer spiel. for y'see, in place of the bin of import CD singles from the day before was a bin full of full-length import CDs, with a big sign over them designating them as "buy 2, get 1 free." not a bad deal, but not nearly as nice as the one from before. so Asswipe decides to explain in v. patronising tones what the sign says. despite what the other worker had actually asked. at which point i cut him off short and said, "i can read, thanks; those are all full-lengths. he was asking on my behalf about singles."

he said he thought they might have been taken back to the warehouse, although he didn't seem too sure about it. i got some more 7"s (and the sign for them being 4/$10 was still up over them, i'll add) and went up to the counter to pay. this other guy was ringing people up and started to ring my stuff up, and Asshole takes him aside and informs him that the sale is over with. so all $2.98/ea. i was tempted at that point to either a) point out that the sign was still up (and they NEVER put dates on their signs, i'll mention---so you never know what the starting and ending dates for sales are), or b) leave. just leave. but it seemed really stupid, and i didn't want to create a scene (esp. with the giant line behind me, and the fact that in such situations, the other innocent people behind the counter would bear the brunt of the Customer Abuse and Asshole would weasel out of it somehow---have played this game on the other side of the counter too many times to count). $2.98 still not bad, after all. so i paid and left.

all this to say, is v. sad the CD singles disappeared. there was much goodness. can only hope they'll drag them out again sometime and i'll notice.

and that Asshole doesn't accidentally meet up with Post Moderne in a dark alley. XD
