Charlene and I went by Friedman's, our local big box home improvement retailer, to look at what HardiPlank in 4x8 sheets felt like. We had trouble finding it on the racks, asked for help,. the guy helping us had trouble, finally we discovered that another product had been put in the wrong slot, and there followed a hilarious radio exchange as it was confirmed that there should be some in stock, another person was sent to find it, they swore up and down that it wasn't there, which led to escalations where, eventually, we ended up walking with the guy who was helping us to find that ... well ... 3 forklifts later.
Anyway, as I was laughing myself silly over the hapless protagonist in the latest episode of This Kaiju Life trying to elicit useful information from his coworkers, I was very much reminded of our experiences today.
(Yes, we did eventually get to see our product, and we got a hell of a lot of entertainment and laughter out of the process...)
