When I brought the salestag into the service area the yo-yo I handed it too immediately went into the back and produced the battery, and handed it to me, and walked off! I called him back and asked him what was going on. "You have a question?" "Yeah, aren't you going to put it in" "No, this is a carry off" "Huh?" "We're backlogged right now, and we won't catch up til five." Irritated, I left, went out to the parking lot, and within about twenty minutes my friend and I had the new battery installed (I just bought the car and the hex nut on the positive terminal was round--completely stripped). On the other hand, they'll be short one trade in battery, and they won't know which one it is . . . Think of how much time the bean counters are going to spend worrying about it before they write off something that's only worth about six bits . . .
