I am not sure what is wrong with (some)people that work there getting attitudes or thinking the prices should be different. I think they should be happy that money is being made for their cause and that in the end is the most important thing.

Wha...Oh, forgot to comment on the GW police woman. What a "rhymes-with-witch"! But you know what? I'm "witchier" if you know what I mean, and she would rue the day she tried that crap with me! <br /><br />I would demand to see a manager, then I would openly point out that she is attempting to bait-and-switch and then state firmly that they cannot legally price an item and attempt to raise the price on it the minute someone shows interest and wants to buy it. I'd also accuse her of doing that so she can snag the pieces for herself, and would probably threaten to notify the GW main office of their tactics. But then I'm not afraid to make a total scene, and often people like that just cave in because they want to get rid of me LOL! Tossing out the words like "bait-and-switch" and "unethical pricing tactics" might make her see the err of her ways. <br /><br />Regardless, you got an amazing deal on that chair. I am in Los Angeles, and our thrift stores here are anything but "thrifty" in their pricing. Was at a St. Vincent de Paul with a friend and we were looking at furniture, and no kidding they wanted $500 and above for some of their wooden armoires that were NOT in good shape. You find that a lot out here, and it rarely makes for a good deal when out "thrifting.The Sterling Cherubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067220137311888258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8379906864798270741.post-51457658995713767412011-11-12T13:47:19.765-08:002011-11-12T13:47:19.765-08:00It was a beautiful chair before, but your transfor...It was a beautiful chair before, but your transformation is just perfect and I love it even better after.
