Not all Verizon Wireless stores are created equal..

Got up this morning and we decided we needed to get ourselves up to Jacksonville to exchange our MiFi unit that wasn't working properly. We had been told that the store was "on US 1 towards Jacksonville." Can't miss it. Well, we drove up on US 1 and missed it. Didn't see one. So we called Tina, and she looked up three addresses for stores in Jacksonville, including one that was right in the parking lot of the mall where we were, the Avenues Mall. Fine, in we went, found the store, and we told "we don't have that, you need to go to a corporate store." Oh. Off we go with directions to the next store, "2 miles down the road." 6 miles later, we see the store. In we walk. "We don't have that- you have to go to a corporate store." Well fine. Where is it? 5 minutes away..... So off we go, and sure enough, there it is, the third store we have visited, and they do have it. No explanation as to why all stores are not created equal, and that fact not made clear to us, the consumer. Grrrrrr. Anyway, we learned what was up US 1 that far into Jacksonville, and on the way home, we found out about Atlantic Avenue, and the fact it goes over to A1A, and we had a nice drive on back down to St Augustine.

Note to Dan and Kippy- we found by accident, another location for Dunkin Donuts, which is on A1A, just south of US 1 in town, and it is a winner!! Clean, great service, and has the ice cream store to boot- So when were back down together, we can indulge in one of our favorite pasttimes.... Coffee and doughnuts or breakfast at a Dunkin Donuts!!!! We are happy campers. It has been sort of a good day!

Monday or Tuesday we may go down to New Port Richie for the night to take a motorized wheelchair to Bette's brother Jim. Trying to squeeze in a baseball game, either at Dunedin or Tampa. Both are playing at home.
