Last night when I went to Lowe’s to look for a JD light bulb for my ceiling fan, this guy, Thomas was helping me. He was trying to talk me into getting a chandelier bulb and I said, it doesn’t say JD on it. I asked him to look up JD on the computer. Another salesperson was on the computer in that department just noodling around – it was obvious – I said tell him to get off so you can look this up. And Thomas started walking to another department, so I walked over to the guy and asked him if he’d mind letting us search for something. Thomas was like – oo wee, you are harsh. So then we couldn’t find it on the computer because Lowe’s doesn’t let the employees search outside the Lowe’s system so I asked him if he had a book of all the bulbs they carry to see if a JD bulb was listed. When we went over to the book a couple of customers were standing around with question marks emblazoned on their faces – one woman tried to get Thomas to go help her get something and I held up my hand and said, mam, he is helping me as you can see. When he is done, he will help you. Thomas shook his head and smiled. <\/p>\n
Finally Thomas talked me into a bulb that I just knew wasn’t the right one, but I was going to take it home and see. When I got home, I looked up JD bulb on the internet and found out indeed it wasn’t the right one and so I ordered the bulbs online and I printed out all the information about JD bulbs and went to Lowes today to return those bulbs and give Thomas the information. He wasn’t around so I was getting ready to check out when I heard this “oh no” from someone and turned and there he was. “What now?” he said. <\/p>\n
I said I brought you information on what a JD bulb is – you might want to tell your manager to stock these as Modern Fans specifies these particular bulbs and I happen to know that there are several commercial spaces that have Modern Fans in New Orleans. He couldn’t stop laughing. He said “you are something.” <\/p>\n
After I checked out, I found him waiting outside for me. He said, “when you get them bulbs, would you bring one by so I can look at it?” I said sure. Thomas wants to be an expert – he just needs tools – like accessing the internet for godsakes at work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
