Saturday I got a call. Most of the calls I had been getting are basic do you have ice, bottled water, etc. in stock. Not this one.
M: <greeting>
SC: Hi, I want to place a order.
M: For when?
SC: Tomorrow (the day Irene will hit)
M: Well, I do have to caution that we will not guarantee availability tomorrow as we may be closed or have no power to prepare it.
SC: WHHATTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!????
M: Well, we are prepared to get impacted by a hurri...
SC: Yes I know. I neeeeeed <item> for a hurricane party!
M: well, you best bet is to pick it up today. It is very likely we will have no power and not be able to do any special orders or be closed entirely.
SC: excuses, excuses! I'm sick of being treated like a idiot! *click*
Sadly, they most likely reproduce.
