How to get free stuff without really trying

-Have your credit card in your hot little hand.

-Call the online store that has the exact guitar your son found in Fredericksburg, but only $100 cheaper.**

-Ask a few questions about the guitar.

-Listen in disbelief as the salesman is a cranky ass, who obviously does not care that I am about to spend $200 at his store.

-Tell said salesman this fact.

-Against your better judgement start giving your credit card info to the ass.

-When he asks “Is the shipping address the same as the billing?”  say “Yes, that should be……” and proceed to tell address.

-Restrain yourself from climbing through the phone and strangling the man when said ass says “That should have been a yes or no answer”.

-Instead of breaking the phone into a million bits, tell salesass that he just lost a sale and hang up on him.

-Reconsider letting him off that easily.

-Call back and ask salesass for his supervisor.

-Get the owner of the store on the line and proceed to tell him the tale of the salesman who lost his mind. Tell him you will not be buying a guitar from said company for this reason.

-Listen as owner apologizes for asslike employee, offering excuses such as the flu, and working 60 hour work weeks, and then offers to throw in a guitar stand, soft gig case and an extra set of strings……….and other things he will personally place in the shipping box that he will pack and send himself.

-Agree to purchase guitar.

-Thank owner, pay for guitar, and hang up.

-Pray that they actually ship items, and are not sadistic jerks who will delay sending items to get even with the tattletale housewife.

**this was an online store that was not affiliated with the Fredericksburg store AT ALL.  The music shop in Fredericksburg is wonderful and we would have purchased there, but I found the guitar for less money online.
