one long rant of a quick bitch
fucking radio shack employee trying to convince me that a fucking multimeter doesn't use batteries:
how the fuck do you test a circuit without electricity??
"uh, it, uh, doesn't say it needs batteries."
I reach to open it and he takes it away from me and starts opening it himself. i'll do it, i say.
"uh, well, uh, we don't like the customers to touch the products before they pay for them."
so he opens the box and he can't figure out where the batteries go. why? because nothing opens.
fucking idiot - you are in radio shack - most of the products' the battery compartments have at least one screw.
so i find the battery compartment and he tries to open it. let me do it, i say. he holds onto it so, i say, i think you need a screwdriver.
long story short, he opens it because he has the screwdriver (mine is in the car) and then tells me they don't carry LR44 batteries, which are second to 2032s as being the most ubiquitous button cell on the planet. Luckily there is a guy in there with a brain who says (just as I am reaching for them), they are the same as 347s.
of course, I pick up the bubble wrap he threw aside and the batteries fall out.
"uh, now you have an extra set."
i get home and the batteries that came with the thing are dead, he's broken the battery compartment because he didn't remember how he got it off so he forced it back on, and the meter doesn't even work with the new batteries.
