This story is based on true events. Mary often visited her local AC Moore for knitting supplies. Most of her experiences were less than satisfying. They seemed to never have anything in stock. Mary would have to wait for the next shipment to come in. But there was no guarantee that her product would be in that shipment. However, Mary went to this AC Moore because she was old and it was right around the corner from her home.
One day Mary reached the end of her yarn, so to speak. She went to the store looking for Sock Shaped Point Protectors for her knitting needles. But, this AC Moore was all out of these nifty doodads. Mary completely lost it. She proceeded to walk to the exit and started screaming something like, "That is it! Enough is enough! This..place..sucks! I'm notifying the President!" It sounded something like that. I can't be entirely sure because she was grinding her teeth; or what was left of them. And by President, I think she meant the president of AC Moore. Not Barack Obama, just to make that clear.
Mary whipped out her cellular phone, called her husband and took off in her Lincoln Town Car. She believes in safety first. "Honey. I want the computer to be on and the internet up and running by the time I get home!" said Mary with urgency. "Yes dear. Right away dear," replied Mary's husband Bert. When Mary came home she stormed through the door like a mad woman who was about to leave some nasty comments on a forum for unhappy consumers. And that's precisely what she did. Well, she had to wait a few minutes because Bert didn't know how to turn on the computer. Then she got down to business. Mary spent the next six hours commenting, debating, knitting and starting a revolution. She made some enemies but mostly friends and she invited these "friends" to a gathering the very next day.
Cut to the next day. Mary stands outside of AC Moore with a picket sign made from a blanket that she knitted. The sign says "Worst". She is alone but not for long.
Slow motion shot: An elderly lady strolls up in her motorized scooter. Mary nods at her as to give her a "What's up?" greeting and almost drops her sign. The lady pulls out a sign made out of paper mache. Her sign says "Period!" The lady stands next to Mary.
It takes Mary and the lady five minutes to get tired of holding their signs. Plus another lady was suppose to show up with a sign that says "Store,". But she didn't and now it says "Worst Period!" instead of "Worst Store, Period!". "Wow, look. They have a sale on macrame & basketry," said Mary. The lady smiled at Mary and they both entered the store. Mary forgot all about her hatred for her craft store. And she eventually got her Sock-Shaped Point Protectors.
