At least you were able to convince the store to give them to you. Stores here would have charged double saying they were really "special" (yeah right)
LOL! I could see that happening... especially considering this store doesn't know me very well. I think I took the guy by surprise the way I blurted out my declaration that it was almost dead and no one would buy it. Maybe he wanted to shut me up quick since there were several other customers nearby.
