Reverse Gut'ology

Okay, just like in Black Jack, if your system isn't working, change it up.

Did you know that M&M's makes a new wild cherry flavor? Man, they're good. I can't eat them like I want to (pouring out of a dump truck), so I have been giving bags away as gifts (to a dump truck operator).

The Wal-mart in New Orleans sells this awesome coffee named after the 24 hour cafe that serves it, Cafe Du Monde. It is THERE and I want it HERE.

THERE!
HERE!

Now, why don't I just order it from the company itself? Well, because Wal-mart sells it for almost half off, and from what their website says "site-to-store" shipping is free. You have something at one store, and someone wants it at another store. Is this new age thinking? So far, Wal-mart online says that they do not "do food." Oh frickin' kay, then why do I see seven different gift baskets ALL WITH COFFEE available for purchase online?

My next move is to try at my local store and see if they know the magic words to get something from THERE!... over to... HERE! So far, customer service has told me to see the food manager, "but he won't be here until tomorrow," and that day, "Oh, he won't be in til' Friday."

It's not going to work. I'm going to end up paying almost double, plus shipping. I had a friend that said he knew someone out there that could just go get it, but suddenly, that conversation "has never existed." (That is for another blog.)
