So the other day I was in the market for some clothes hangers after an outrageously massive spring cleaning mission in my bedroom closet that somehow resulted in needing MORE hangers (hanging stuff vs. folding it and throwing it in a drawer). I headed to Sears at Eaton Centre first and was informed that they were SOLD OUT of hangers. Entirely. Not a single hanger to be found in the entire department store. Absurd. Who sells out of hangers on a Friday?
Frustrated, I marched over to Canadian Tire at 8:55pm in a tizzy PRAYING that they'd let me in in time to run upstairs, grab some basic hangers and pay (I assumed it closed at 9pm). To my delight, I found out they close at 10pm every day! Wow, awesome!
I grabbed my wooden hangers (on sale - 10 for $6) and since there was only one cash open and it was teeming with confused customers, I went straight for the self checkout, which I had never used before. Never again will I use a regular checkout if the self checkout is available - it was a breeze! All of my items scanned properly, I paid with debit and the machine even dispensed Canadian Tire money automatically! Love it.
