Impulse Buy

Two Fridays ago, P and I were walking around in the Apple store. Mostly because P is trying to decide between the 15 inch and the 17 inch MacBook Pro. I left her alone while I was messing around with the MacBook. I saw that on the price list next to it, 2GB is one of the options. I thought it's only available as a BTO option directly via Apple Store online. So I asked one of the store rep about it.

"You guys install the extra 1 GB right?"

"No, it's from Apple."

"I mean, I buy it as 2 GB. You then open the box, and install the additional Memory from the back right?"

"No, it came straight from Apple that way."

"Really? Can I see the box?"

She ran off, and came back with a box. "See the green sticker? 2GB. And it's still sealed from Apple."

I was totally surprised. So I was like "Ok, I'll buy it."

P was surprised as well, not used to me doing impulse buy on computers. One of the other employee who knows us fairly well and was chatting with us at the time took us up front to ring us up. He was like "Hey, you want a free printer?"

"Uh, I don't really care."

P pipes up. "I do!". She picked one of the higher end canon printer that's also a color scanner and color copier. The box it came in was HUGE! So the two of us lug the two boxes. Me holding the printer while P holds the MacBook as we walk back to the car. And now I have a new MacBook.
