Yesterday i went shopping for a router and bits that I need to complete a project Im working on (side work) Im building a Mantle for a client and realized my P.O.S router was just that a P.O.S, I think Id spun a bearing in it or something :( So I went to my local Lowes and found a nice Porter Cable for $140 and bought 3 nice new bits at $40 a pop, and found a nice retracting xtension cord with 4 grounded outlets in it for $10 (couldnt pass that up) Well I hoped on the shortest line I found right infront of the exit and as im getting rang up the router wont scan. So the cashieer punches in a code and scans my other items. 'That'll be $88.42" she says to me. I try not to fumble as I grab the closest CC i have and swipe it through for fear she may realize what she did and I smooze with her saying that I hate the electronic signature thing and insist that it looks nothing like my real one lol. Soon after the transatcion completes and Im on my way to the door. There is one guy checking bags who is busy with another customer, being that we were right infront of him my GF asks do you need to see our bags and he waved us through.....The alarm goes off.....Im ready to bolt....he looked over and said Oh it must be the router, I can feel the sweat building in my palms as I turn towards him.....he says "dont worry about it happens all the time" so I walk back through and the alarm sounds and no one looked back. I get out to my truck and my GF is asking me whats wrong so I hand here the recept and she is like "so" , Look at the items i said, she rang me up for somethign that was $2.48 for the router and the other items rang up at their cost. OMG a brand new router for $2.48 :) I couldnt get over it all day probably the best deal I have ever got on anything ever. I love that store Lowes>Homedepot
