They don't put prices on their stuff.
And now it's taking an inordinately long time to return what I bought last night.
The store is a climbing store.
If I get to the end of this email before this little boy finishes giving me my money back, I am going to name the store. It's a combo rock climbing gym and gear shop.
From tennis experience, I know pro-shops live on their markups. I really would love to know the details of this transaction.
I am however getting free air conditioning and the sounds of hot girls talking so I really can't complain too much.
Some little boys love trying to get in my way by using paperwork and tech delays and other nebulous issues I can't specifically prove they're making up.
That won't prevent their suffering.
I think I have been sitting for... 10, minutes? When has a return girls ever taken this long?
He can give me cash back if he prefers.
It's 1:42. At what time do I growl at him? Little boys run for the police when I growl at them. Then my return becomes a "civil matter" and the NYPD will make me leave. Therefore I gotta do something else.
Little boys think they're smarter than me. But I am simply more aggressive. Not roaring at him is a deliberate tactic.
If I stay under his level of anger without giving him any respect, he will get angrier. I am waiting for him to "serve me my money".
He thinks I am super impatient but the longer I hang out the longer the girls get a look at me. When he realizes I am taking over his territory by my boldness in his domain he will get angrier.
1:47. Any other person would have inquired what is taking so father fucking long. Not I mademoiselle. That's what he wants. To tell me the "bad news" about whatever he's come up with to stymie me.
"Movement Gowanus"
The name of the scam-gym in Brooklyn. The girls who work there at the least the one who checked me out are cool. It's their boss that's the problem.
Ain't he?

Would you believe the pathetic little wuss left. Yes left for a meeting or something. And didn't say anything. The "membership team" has to discuss my return. I hope the membership team is not a girl. I mean I do. But if I get bullshit from not a girl then I can get nasty.
If he is a smart'ish little boy he will know he's gonna lose and tell one of the female staff to deal with me. Which he kinda already did.
That's what little boys do. They push you into danger to save themselves even though I am not a danger to anyone but him.
Now more so. Non-violently and legally of course.
Is their corporate tactic to do this? It's a franchise. Locally owned?
OVER HIS HEAD is the next play.

UPDATE!: I got my refund. Thanks Ms. Badass. Wanna show me how to climb Summit Rock in Central Park?
