Does anybody read these?

Two random thoughts

Just some random thoughts that crossed my brain this morning.

1. Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend (or wife now, I guess), is a hard-hitting journalist who is Superman's intellectual equal. This is from her Wikipedia entry:

In most incarnations she has been depicted as a determined, strong-willed person, whether it involves beating her rival reporter Clark Kent to a story or (in what became a trademark of 1950s and 1960s era Superman stories) proving to others her suspicion that her fellow reporter Clark Kent was in reality Superman.

I thought that was very interesting. It just made me think.

2. If a sign says "A receipt is required for all exchanges and returns," why, oh why, would you think that means that you can come into a store and verbally abuse the employee who reiterates that you will not be getting store credit or a new Bratz doll without your receipt? You didn't want a Bratz doll anyway; they look like hookers. Maybe the store should've put up 20,000 signs about their return policy instead of 10,000. That might've helped.

And with all this, we still ended up with a doll on the shelves at the end of the night that we didn't carry. In fact, the writing on the package was in FRENCH.
