Hallmark Stores

So whats the deal with Hallmark stores. I needed to buy a card for a co-worker the other day, not because I liked her or anything like that, but because it is the right thing to do when someone suffers the loss of their cat, due to a drunk driving accident...long story but the cat was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyway, I needed to buy fluffy a card. I remember when my mother would force me to go with her to Hallmark while running errands as a child..you see back in the days, people sent cards to each other. Now, I remember when cards were 35 cents. I was shocked to see 30 years later that they cost $5.95 each. Crap, you can send a child to Harvard for less than these cards cost today. And I remember when Hallmark stores were just that, a card store..now they are as big as a super Walmart..they have stuff like gifts and such. I mean personally, I don't even like cards, especially if they don't include a gift card or money inside them, so if your reading this blog, don't ever give or send me one. But I'm here on a mission today, get that card for Fluffy and leave..Well this store is so big that they have sections for all kinds of occasion's...Birthdays, Wedding anniversary's, and even Animal Deaths..yes believe it or not, they had a section for animals that die by drunk drivers..

Sorry for your flat cat, Fluffy felt no pain, were just some of the selections I had to choose from. How will I ever make a decision..This one looks cute I said..it was the kind that opens up and it becomes like you know 3-D. It had a nice white cat kinda before and after look to it..This was the one, I know my friend will enjoy my sentiments with this card.

On the way to the counter, remember this store is the size of a super Walmart, they had Catnip on display. Wow, maybe I should include that with my card and really let her know I feel her pain and loss. So I picked up the catnip and preceded to check out..when the clerk picked up the catnip she asked for my ID. What, "Sir I need to see your ID." Why, I asked? "Because this is a drug and by law you have to be 18 to purchase CATNIP." You mean to tell me that I can go to any high school in Tallahassee and purchase any illegal drug, yet you are carding me to purchase CATNIP? So next time you go to Hallmark, take your ID.
