She has connections.

lol I would have so gotten fired. All I could think is going after her and hiding in the ailes going "pssst...Psst...hey lady we have to tell you that when there are other customers around. But if you meet me at 4pm round back I'll take to you to the secret stash" I would then have to hang around just to see if she comes by

this store, you just need to know the right person to talk too.".

And who exactly is the right person to talk to about this? Does this "right" person actually have a way to whip up an item the store doesn't carry? I'd love to meet that person.

Hmm, I could maaaaybe understand the confusion if you worked at the Christmas Tree Store, since it has the holiday as part of it's name. But even then I'd laugh at you. You should've told her to go home and tell her friend she's an idiot.

I drive past one of thoughs going to Ocean City. They’ve got oodles of Christmassy goodness, and yes they do sell glass bulbs. They don’t do much business until October though. . . So if the lady is willing to go for a drive and get them herself all is well. Of course if you actually tell her about said store she’ll probably want you to go get them, with out reimbursement for either time, gas, or money for said bulbs.

Oh I have my own variation of the "friend"

sc- but my friend was able to reserve a room just a few minutes ago
me- (what I want to say) great, did they mention to you that they reserved the last room?

or

sc- but my friend got a better rate.
me- yes and they have (AAA, AARP, Entertainment, insert discount here) that you don't.

They're the ones with access to the magical "back room"!
