Yesterday Chris once again solemnly announced, “Well, I have to get my eye drops started.” I knew the drill by this time. I slowly creaked forward in my office chair. I reached out to pick up my phone on the desk to open the timer. As it opens, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a message from Siri. It was suggestion. “How about starting a 3-minute timer.” Now how did Siri know?
Chris
had an appointment. ENT doc up in Texas. They’re the ones that made her do the
big all-day test that made her sick, followed by the eye physical therapy that
made her sick - remember Sick with Nick? The newest prescription? Take
Vitamin B Complex in exchange for the Sick with Nick rendezvous. Come back in
two months. Good time for checkup just before we get on a long plane ride.
On
the way home we stopped at Target. The item we wanted was hanging in the
clearance rack. 39-70% off. Done. We took our purchase to check out. Eagle-eye
Chris was watching. It came up regular price.
Chris:
“Umm. That was supposed to be 30-70% off”
Checker:
“How much?”
Me:
“30-70% off.”
Checker:
“So 30%”
Me:
“It said 30-70%off”
Checker:
“Oh, clearance. How about 35%?”
Me:
“Well, if we get to barter, it did say 30-70%”
Me
and Chris: “How about 70%?”
Checker:
“We can do that.”
Score
one for Target customer satisfaction.
Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore,
since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ”
Father,
thank you for small victories in retail establishments. Amen.
