I actually talked with 2 of the salespeople (to be Politically
Correct...) and they both presented to me they could "match" the
other store or give the 10 % off the Sear's sales price... I
figured I'd take the 10 % off. It was still ~ $ 30 less than I
would have paid in another 15 hours! And yeah, I probably could
have fought them and tried to get the "match" price plus the 10 %
discount... but I wasn't in a fighting mood and was still so
happy that I did better than I was going to do...

ok... "fall on sword" time. We recently bought a 17' "commercial"
freezer from Sears. They delivered it, put it in the basement, leveled
it, plugged it in and it fired right up so they left. Each time that
evening I went downstairs it was just runnin', no problem.

Next morning, Nancy called me at work and said that just for the heck
of it she checked it and it was still warm inside! I asked if it was
running and sure enough it was. So I checked it when I came home, yup,
warm and still running.

I was about ready to call Sears, and then it struck me.

The basement has a finished side and an unfinished side. When we
bought the house, Nancy took one of the rooms in the finished side for
her craft room. There was a light switch at the top of the stairs
which turned on a stairway light. Well, she'd go into the unfinished
portion for whatever and forget to shut the lights off so I rewired
things so that the light switch at the top of the stairs also shut off
the power in the unfinished side... well... DUH. ;-)

Go up stairs, turn stair light off - *poof*, freezer stopped running
until the light was turned back on.

Boy did I feel kinda stupid. :-)
