14. The one here in Chicago by me is a cluster fuck.

I don't go often but went to buy seat cushions last summer. I knew I was in trouble when the person I finally tracked down to help me was the same guy I saw pushing a giant roll of shopping carts two floors down and in the parking lot. He didn't speak much English.

I realized they only stock two sets of seat cushions in each color so I would have to go scrounge around all the northern illinois stores to re-cusion our patio furniture. I mean, who would ever need more than two of anything from that giant fucking store? I asked the clerk to check the Schaumburg store since my partner works in Schaumburg. After clacking away on his handheld device for 5 minutes, he asked me what street Schaumburg street was near. When I told him it was a city he said he couldn't help me.

We waited in line for several minutes only to get asked to move because the cashier was ending her shift. By the time we got the fuck out of there I was more than done.

I realized, when I got in the car, they only charged me for one set - The cushions came out of the back room still in the shipping bag so the cashier assumed they were one item.

No. I didn't go back in. No fucking way.
