So I went to a Barnes & Noble to buy something for my niece. I saw they had a table for gift-wrapping, and I remember having my gifts wrapped there a previous year. So I came back another day and asked what the gift-wrapping schedule was. She said there is no schedule; there is always someone who knows how to wrap a gift there at all times. Great!
So I wake up early today and drive down there since it opens at 8 for the holiday season. I not have the gift I bought from B&N but two other things from two different places. And I kept each of those items in the original bag the cashiers put them in. Probably a big mistake. Because when I went up to the cashier to request them be wrapped, she said, "Yes, we do wrap them, but only gifts bought here." And I will admit I was a bit curt to her when she asked for someone to wrap that gift. I said no, I made a waving motion, and I got out of there. (I stayed in the mall, though, to pick up some Tim Hortons.)
You know, in retrospect, maybe I should not have assumed that B&N would wrap all of a person's gifts. But when I had gifts wrapped there before there was no issue. Besides, what's the big damn deal? She said that they don't wrap presents from other places because it's a "security issue." What the hell does that mean?
So I have to stay out late again tonight. I have to give this to my sister-in-law in the morning.
So tired. So damn tired I will not be able to perform in the Feats Of Strength on Saturday.
