| waltman | My UPS battery is dying, so I went to Microcenter tonight and asked them where they have their UPS batteries. "Do you have the old one?" the saleslady asked. "No," I replied, "but I have the model number." | 00:21 |
|---|---|---|
| waltman | "Oh. It's going to be hard finding you the right battery unless you have the old one." Me: WHA? | 00:21 |
| waltman | "I'm sorry, I figured you could look it up by model number. It never occured to me I'd have to lug in a 30 lb battery." | 00:22 |
| waltman | "Maybe I can still help. What model was it?" I told her. "That's a small one, isn't it? Let's check some of these..." | 00:22 |
| waltman | It seems that some of their batteries come in boxes with the supported UPS models on the back. But many others come unboxed, and they match them up BY SIZE. | 00:23 |
| waltman | I tried explaining that I could go online and find the exact battery I need for half the price of theirs. I also explained that if I needed wiper blades or an air filter, I could go into Pep Boys and consult a book that cross-referenced all the models. | 00:25 |
| waltman | I'm still amazed by this. | 00:28 |
| JonathanD | heh | 06:42 |
| JonathanD | waltman: nice :) | 06:42 |
| rmg51 | Morning | 09:42 |
| waltman | JonathanD: I'm not crazy, right? That's a pretty wackadoodle way to sell batteries, isn't it? | 11:26 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys?, hamsters and everything else | 12:11 |
| JonathanD | waltman: absolutely. | 12:31 |
| JonathanD | waltman: especially as I can tell you what your battery is without thinking about it... | 12:31 |
| JonathanD | waltman: it's an RBC2. | 12:32 |

| lazyPower | Whoa, where is this location? if its close I may want to go | 21:46 |
| lazyPower | always down for meeting the LOCO team. This is a good opportunity to support another branch of the PA LOCO in the burgh and start that topic moving. | 21:47 |
| lazyPower | cuz quite frankly, driving to philly every month isn't that appealing to attending meetings. Unless you guys are OK with having a floating talking head attend via hangouts | 21:47 |
| waltman | lazyPower: I think they were joking | 21:57 |
| lazyPower | oh :( | 21:58 |
| lazyPower | booo | 21:58 |
| JonathanD | We could maybe meet at coredial if you really want something in the burbs lazyPower | 23:18 |

| JonathanD | oh, you're looking for pgh? | 23:19 |
