So it's the day before Thanksgiving...
...and I opt to return the electric kettle I bought a few weeks ago which stopped working two days ago. YES, the kettle I recommended in my newsletter! I bought it at Target. Not the best time of the year to brave Target, but my thought is, less nightmarish now than it will be after Thanksgiving when the American people-trampling shopping frenzy begins in earnest. So I go.
Bonus points for Target. I had a receipt AND a box, and the only question they had for me was whether I wanted an exchange or a refund. I opted for a refund since I no longer trusted that brand, having crapped out on me in six weeks. The man next to me was having a fit trying to insist that his receipt was correct even tough it did not match his product, so I seemed very with-it in comparison, with my correct receipt.
I found a different kettle for ten dollars less. Then I found Puffy's food on sale.
Good job, Target, for taking my return. The cashier also pointed out that I could get 5% off and free shipping online with my Redcard. Oh really? Amazon may have some competition for my mundane needs, in that case.

I'm so glad we're finally getting Target stores in Canada (we're even getting one in my small city) - now if we'd just get a Krispy Kreme, life would be good. Of course life would also be fat...

CA that they are competiting each other in their own companies!
You are so funny Alie38, do we have Starbucks *snort*...only every second block :) We are also plagued by a million Tim Hortons (donuts and coffee), they're like, a Canadian institution, eh. But they make terrible donuts. But no CVS that I'm aware of, least not around here.
That's funny, I thought CVS was originally Canadian. I had no idea Tim Hortons donuts sucked :DThe bakery at my locally owned grocery store also makes bad donuts. They're too yeasty.
