    I see the latest and greatest Sonicare toothbrush
    is selling for $380 on Amazon.

    The one I have now (circa 2010) is exhibiting
    some strange behavior, so, shopping just in case.

    $380

    Bluetooth, phone app...

    Why does a toothbrush require bluetooth ability
    and a phone app???? It's a battery-powered
    toothbrush.

    $380



    Is it the word "prestige" which justifies the price?
    Or that really high number of 9900 (when there
    is no model number even close to it) ???

    EDIT: Ooops... I see there is a "9500" @ $270.

    EDIT (2): Ooops... 9750 @ $300.

    Never mind. Ignore.

    My teeth hate me for the neglect.

    Accomplishment for today:

    I put a Country Max (*) clerk into interstellar orbit.

    (*) - maybe "Tractor Supply" in your region.

    I returned 2 empty propane tanks.

    OK? Got it?

    I wanted only one (1) refill.

    Well, that just made her jaw hit the floor and had
    ZERO CLUE how to deal with it,

    "Everybody who returns one gets a refill".

    I was her first.

    I popped her cherry. She's been there a while.
    I recognized her Australian accent. Which, by
    the way, I hate. But, whatever...

    No idea AT ALL what to do with an empty tank.

    NONE.

    Not a button on the register, so, like, DUH!!!

    Incredible.

    They ACCEPT EMPTIES. But, no button. Therefore,
    no clue.


    If there is NO BUTTON, then clueless and helpless.

    So, I had to just stand there (eyes rolling all over the
    place) with a CC in hand until the mystery was solved.

    And the "mystery is"... they will take an entire
    Ford F-150 FULL of empties without even
    needing to go into the store. No $ exchanged.

    They just TAKE them!!!

    It was MY fault for talking too much. And
    TRYING to be honest. And being sure I was
    playing within the rules.

    You get PUNISHED for that.

    How does one "win" today? Serious question.

    You can't and you don't.
