My $49 $80 drill press

   I just felt like bragging.

So i had never actually gone in the harbor freight tools just down the
road from my house. I went in the other day out of boredom and realized
they have lots of stuff for pretty cheap. Ive been wishing i had a
drill press for ages, and i noticed they had a sort of medium size one
for $80. I knew i had some money coming from editing someones videos so
i decided to go buy it when i had the money.

Anyway, money today, i drove over, manhandled the box into a cart
thing, grabbed a vise for it and headed up to the cashier. She rings
the thing up, and asks me if i want the 2 year warranty thing. I said
no (mainly because i didnt have enough money).

So this manager dude just kind of wanders past, looks at my cart, looks
at the screen and asks me if i want the 2 year warranty plan. I figured
it was like best buy where everyone that can speak tries to foist the
service plan on you. I told him no thanks, and he says "well were not
gonna give you that little drill press for $80"

So as i start thinking there was some sort of price sticker error, the
manager dude commandeers the cash register and starts putting in codes
and stuff. He looks over at me and says "How about a free 2 year
warranty?" I sortof think "uhmm...yeah...ok sure dude whats the catch"
Then the guy says "Here ill just ring this up like this...and this
thing...and ill save you $30" and rings the drill press up for $49 with
a free warranty plan thing.

I have absolutely no clue why he did it, but im not arguing.

Guess where im buying all my power tools and stuff from now on?
