Can I please just get a damn gym membership...
Can I please just get a damn gym membership... Well with working out me and Dennis needed a gym to get started. One important thing in cosidering a gym, study shows that a gym futher than 5 minutes in travel time will drastically decrease your likelihood of going. So keep that in mind boys and girls. Funny, I had it all figured out as to which gym would be most conducive with both our location. It works out way better for me, didn't plan on it that way but I picked a gym(don't know if I can name it or not) that was most conducive to our commute from working our night shifts. A gym that was enroute so there would be minimal time wasted. Well we decided to just check it out and see what they had to offer. So we walk in the door and just see if we could just walk around and tour the facility ourselves. Nope. I guess for all those who have visited a gym know what I'm talkin about. Well as soon as we ask to tour the facility, come the vultures. Okay Mrsalesperson, please give us your song and dance. The gym was right. It had all the bells and whistles needed for "da program." It had me at hello. Now let's see what the monthly is going to be. I know the market is crap so we got to work out some kind of deal here. Need discount, yes. Well let's see what we can get out in he shortest amount of time. I don't know about u guys but I hate, hate, hate just the thought of haggling with a sales person. So joe smoe has just given us his song and dance routine. Don't really care except for what he can offer me in discount. So pulls out a laminated sheet to show us the deals and comparisons. Okay. We counter with, hey man were murses(male nurses) we work for so and so. Right?.. So he pulls out another laminated sheet of info. "Okay guys I can get you guys on the corporate rate." Yeahhhh. Now were talking. This guy was cool. Hmmmm? Alright it looks good. Ready to fill out some paperwork and get this thingrolling. Oh wait, oops forgot got to ask the wifey first. This was in the bag mind you. It's all logistics. So we told Mr salesguy, ok here is our info(credit card#). And in good faith don't charge me until I give you the clear. And that should be tomorrow. "Okay guys you have my word." Hahaha. And the fun begins. That evening Me and the wifey go to the supermarket and do some grocery shopping thinking that my balance on my debit card was fine. Finished swiping my card, big surprise. What do you mean there is not enough funds in my account? I just checked my balance this morning."That can't be right, try it again please." Nope. Hahaha, and wifey did not bring her purse so we are shit out of luck. Embarassing to say the least. Okay I am just livid and puzzled. Where the hell did my money go? I get home, I immediately go online track where my f'n money went. Aha! That mothaf'r. They(da gym) just charged me. Oh shit it's on. Damn it, I have to work. Settlethis after. So I tell Dennis the situation. And he finds out that it has happened to him as well. So we are just both angry with this transaction. We just want to join but they f'd up so we wanted what we could milk out of this situation. So we get there and put on our pissed off look. So Mr salesperson, what da f happened? He immediately takes us to his office for privacy. Or just to try to keep the situation on da hush hush. Okay, so what are you going to do for me. I looked pissed. I don't think Dennis thought I was going to react the way I did. So we just played off each other and negotiation are underway. We had this guy dancing like a monkey. Man he was sweating. Trying to make calls and doing whatever to please us. He looks like he's going to cry. We tried to milk it for everything we could. Hahaha we almost got too greedy. Cause we really just wanted to join. I think Dennis at one point thought we were gonna have to go somewhere else. Sonegotiations over. Woohoo...(so we thought, but that's another story) Time to get my sexy back.
