I ask one of the store guys if I needed someone to get this for me or if I could just grab one and he said the cable was there to keep them from tipping over into the aisle. He said to just go ahead and grab one myself. So I did. Brought it up and had one of the checkout folks scan it and off I went. I got home and cut off the shrink wrap and bigger than shit there were two ladders inside. I knew that had to be a mistake. Then I saw a small sticker on the shrink wrap that said "Ladders Sold Separately." So the store folks apparently didn't realize this 2-pack was meant to be split up before selling them. Being the honest person I am (another thing learned from my parents), I went back to the store and paid for the second ladder. I'm keeping it for my brother who got me hooked on Gorilla Ladders in the first place.

Funny Father story - when mine was still alive - be bought a blu-ray player. The reason? Because he kept accidently buying the blu-ray version western DVD's from the bins at Wal-Mart, so he just gave up and bought a cheap Blu-Ray player. Of course the non-high tech redneck that he was - he could not get it to work. So I went to set it up for him and it had some weird wiring deal (I can't recall) because he of course bought the $17.59 blu-ray player being the tight old man he was.
So I say - Dad, give me the receipt - I'll take it back and get you a decent one and pay the difference for your tight ass. He gives me the receipt - it's not on there. He'd only been to Wal-Mart once in the last month, so this was the right one. As I got questioning him - he used the self check out. LMAO - he didn't scan it and walked right out with it.
I had a good story for the returns lady...........
