Went to my AD and you値l never believe what happened next...
So I went to my AD to look and some rings. They had the ring I wanted because I told them I wanted it.

While I was waiting I hung out and drank a bunch of champagne and tried on some Day Dates.

Define "a bunch".

How was their Day Date selection? I've been after one myself but every local AD has been out-of-stock with ridiculous waiting lists. It's maddening.

Interesting. Do they require an application process to deem buyers worthy of purchase? Do they vet flippers? Will they sell at MSRP?

lol... I really need to insert a note about sarcasm. Day Dates being rare and selling at MSRP to vetted buyers would be the end of the brand for me.

Wait a second! You told them you were interested in something, so BOOM they get it in so you can see it? No waitlist, no drama, no nothin'? Like buying jeans at Nordstroms?

I'm sorry. That must have been very unfulfilling. What kind of "brand" is this???

They called the police and your writing this as your 1 call-out from the police station for someone to come and bail you out........
