Does it hurt to ask for free stuff?

by

Does it hurt to ask for free stuff?  To me it does not matter what you are asking for or from which store just ask.  Recently my iMac started acting weird, when it became apparent I could no longer use it I called the Apple service department.  Apple (automated) service first tried to sell me a $50 Apple care service call, and this was just to talk to someone.  I somehow made it around this problem only to be told by a real person they were no longer fixing this problem free of charge.  I asked why if this was a manufacturer defect was I having to pay to have it fixed.  This went on for about 20 minutes and in the end I was told to go to my local Apple store to see if they would fix it for me.  My local Apple store basically told me the same thing, however they could fix it for me for only $378.  This was not acceptable to me!  I returned home to call back the Apple service department.  I was very nice and asked to speak to a supervisor, at first he told me the same story.  However after about a half hour he made an exception for me and Apple did end up fixing it for FREE.  I now finally (after a week) have my computer back and it is good as new, and all for the cost of two phone calls!  If it is hard for you to ask for free stuff just think how much money you could save.  From a $378 fix to my computer to a free kids ice cream cone my son had today, free is always better so just ask!

Disneyland ~ 1 of 3

by

We just spent the last two days at the Disneyland Resort and to say I am tired is the understatement of the year!  Yes we had fun, yes the kids had fun, yes the weather was nice and YES it was crowded!  If I ever say I am going to Disneyland in the summer please just kill me!  The first day we spent it at California Adventure, which was not too crowded.  We went on the new Ariel Ride, Toy Story Mania, Soarin’ Over California, we watched the Disney Jr. Live show and the World of Color.  The kids did pretty well considering they were all dressed up in Disney charachter outfits and it was 80 outside.  Most of the lines times were over an hour and to our surprise the kids did great in the lines.  I was more annoyed because the single male rider behind us in line was getting a little too close for comfort.  I’m sorry but what is a middle aged man doing alone at Disneyland?  It gives me the creeps, anyone with me on this?  Am I the only one who looks at these men like they are crazy?  Or am I crazy?
