YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE IT UP !!!

My friend today placed an order at the local Tractor Supply Co. store for 25pc.  4'x16' wire mesh cattle panels.  The sale price was very good at $36 / panel.  He did not have a 16' trailer, and so he asked if they could deliver the panels to his site, about 18 miles away.  The young lady on the phone told him the delivery charge would be $7,000.  (That is -- SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS or $280 per panel). 

My friend was stunned.  He asked to speak with the store manager.  

It turns out the delivery charge was $70.00 (still very high at almost $4 / mi).

 

The original young clerk apparently didn't know what the decimal point meant and had no visualization at all of the magnitude of the price she was quoting!

O----M-----G !!!

Less then $3 per panel delivered would not be out of line to me if I couldn't pick them up myself.

 

If they're gonna load 'em, bring 'em to my location and unload 'em for $70.00...I'm gonna give those two fella's a $20.00 tip and tell 'em lunch is on me guys.
