Don’t know the film, but if you still haven’t gotten Advil by mid-April, let me know.

B”H

It must have been frickin’ freezing out there (Mr. Bigglesworth – name that film!)

Next time you go, let me know. I’ll try to convince to bring me back some Advil. It’s frickin’ expensive here.

The reason people arrive early to get into Costco when it opens, I believe, is because they run restaurants or businesses that rely on the products they are going to pick up daily. I guess some find it more sensible to do daily shopping than to keep two days worth of inventory in the restaurant’s refrigerator. I also believe that, for this reason, Costco opens an hour earlier for its customers with “business” accounts.

You can of course do the open collar, as long as you’re wearing something under it or over it.

I love the Israeli dress code. I wish I were a guy just so I could do the open collar.

Wow! After just going through almost the same story, I feel your pain bro! I hate these companies, nothing makes sense. And they funny thing is, what Eric said above… I have had this problem in various other services, gov offices, etc. Makes no sense.

Good luck to us in the future…

Yes, exactly! But these companies all exist by government fiat, with government-mandated prices, wages, etc… It’s probably illegal for them to go out of business… so what do they care if another guy pays NIS 199 for a gas canister or not?

The amazing thing is that this is not only just a customer service issue–it’s a sales issue. They are actively preventing you from paying them money that you want to pay them. It’s not like a cell phone or bank debacle, where you’re already paying them and they have little monetarily to gain from providing good customer service (in their narrow worldview, at least). Their idiocy is not only costing you time, but it’s costing them money.
