slacker hardware

A affable girl named Gabrielle answered the phone at CLINTON HARDWARE. I asked if they could custom cut plexi-glass to my specifications. She checked with a guy named ALEX. Alex said SURE we have plexi-glass downstairs. HE said he had my size to cut. I traveled half hour to Clinton hill hardware the next day to find out the glass was 4 inches short. WHEN THEY EXPRESSLY said they have my size. The dark haired portly slacker that assisted me was unapologetic and mumbled the whole time. He obviously was unhappy working there. He had to go down the supply cellar twice before his synapses ignited to tell me he did not have my order. Alex of course was off Sunday so I could not express how much of a imbecilic incompetent clerk he was. He wasted an hour and half of my beautiful Sunday traveling to Clinton Hill . ALEX!!! ARE YOU OUT THERE? HEAR ME ROAR out my disdain at your uninspired life rummaging thru pipe fittings, paint cans, duct tape, nuts & bolts, black & decker drill bits and lastly. PLEXI-GLASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
