That poor woman.

Scott and I went to Fry's today, where we got, among other things, a new (bigger) switch. Preparing for moving our network downstairs, and the fact that the router will stay upstairs where the connection is (yes, there is a cable down), which is probably also where the wireless link will stay since it gives better coverage from there.

The one we got was marked $52.99. It rang up at $79.99. We said 'but....' and the cashier spent the next little while calling back to the department, straightening it out, getting a code to get us the better price, and starting the people in the department figuring out what price it should be and what to fix, the sticker or the computer settings.

I felt very, very bad for her. Why? Because her badge said "Customer service associated in training". These are not the kinds of fun things you need when you are still getting steady on the basic, normal procedures!
