Customer Intelegence

It's a Sunday. You know how people say, there are "Sunday Drivers" right. I think there are "Sunday Shoppers!"

No one really wants to work at the local Wal-Mart on a Sunday morning, so it wasn't shocking when we went in there to buy a new camera and found only one person working the entire electronics department. It was shocking however, to find the lines of out-of-townees crowding the camera isle trying to find a new camera or memory card.

I am not saying I am the most intelligent shopper in the world. I do need to ask for help from those more knowledgeable than myself most of the time. However... if you have a camera and you need a memory card... it might help to know what type.

And even if you don't know what type... maybe bring the camera!

I assure you sir, that no matter how many times you point out the three cameras on the display that look kinda like yours, there is no possible way the poor sales girl is miraculously going to go, "OH...of course.. you have a Nikon one touch 6 megapixle with bonus carrying case, that was sold between May 2004 and September 2005 and you left it on the corner of your sofa table next to the dining room. It takes an SD card... I recommend an 6GB." Unless she's clairvoyant, she's just not gonna know with the data you have provided dear sir.

We eventually did get our camera. Here's just a few shots for your amusement of what we captured with it today. Our other one finally died under the spilled lemonade activity from two weeks ago. It tried to hang on.. it was a good camera. RIP little silver canon!
