Good things come to those who wait!

The above title rarely comes true, but this time it did. I was sick and tired of not having my calls returned by Coca Cola in Coquitlam, so I decided to drive there. Let me tell you, the receptionist there sucks. Five calls a day for three days and she never answers. I leave my name and phone number and I never get a call. Anyway, I get to the office and sure enough, no receptionist. Five minutes later a guy walks by and he's like, "Can I help you?" So I tell him what I'm looking for. He was nice and went out of his way to try and help me. After digging around and making a few calls, he told me that they are on there way to Superstores here in BC and may have actually arrived. Coca Cola here in BC has nothing to do with the soccer ball shaped bottles, but the guy told me that Superstore is sending their surplus supply of these bottle here via their trucks. He said I should head out to the Superstore in Coquitlam. I rush over to the Coquitlam store and sure enough, there they were. The manager at Superstore told me they just came in today. Two skids worth. 79 cents each! Woo hoo!!!

Lots of Red ones, but very few white soccer ball design ones. In fact, I found one in each flat. I unstacked and restacked three layers (10 to 12 cases per layer) to get 10 white ones, as some flats had no white ones at all. I noticed that the very bottom layer had nothing but white ones. I was not going to unstack 15 layers to get at them.

Anyway............



Edit: sorry for the lousy quality camera phone pic. Yeah........ kind of sideways, LOL Too lazy to fix that.
