Some things are meant to run smoothly

I bought a top with a zip yesterday but it sticks at a certain point.

Which means I'll have to go and complain and ask for an exchange.

If they don't have the same item to exchange I'll keep my top with the zip that sticks.

You just don't expect things like zips to stick though do you?

The world is an imperfect place...

In my experience NOTHING ever runs smoothly. It's how you deal with it that matters.

My personal motto is something along the lines of "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst." I might have stolen it from somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

Luckily, a stuck zip is an easy fix. No need to keep it at all if they don't have a replacement - just choose again.

Also there is a mix CD going out by the end of this week. How cool is that? I'm never happy when I make one because I can't squish about a hundred songs on a single CD. Sooner or later I have to just call it finished and move on.

You know, as I read this comment back, I think I know why my part-time job is electing to train me for customer service. I'll be the person you would come back to with the stuck zip. Thank you for shopping with us sir :)

don't use oil! it might stain the shirt.

rub a candle on it - the wax will help it get un-sticky.

:)

i'll send the invoice for that helpful hint in the mail.

ah, london luck strikes again. it isnt so much as the slightly sticky zipper, as the pain and suffering you will endure to travel back to the place and cope with transport issues, queue for an exchange, only to find out that they don't understand the concept, and anyway a sticky zipper isn't considered a malfunction in the first place. it is filed under "average quality of goods".
i sincerely hope this doesn't happen to you on your Round 2!

Holly knows.

Kimberlina I couldn't remember if it was soap or wax.

Stephanie, you probably would end up making me buy half the store.

Monk, the word verification is the most useful and irritating thing.

Supermansfoot it all depends if I can be arsed or not to be a pussycat about it or an ogre.

if all else fails and you really like the top, you can take it to a dry cleaners and have them replace the zipper for a few dollars. Call first to find one that offers the service. they are good for hemming things as well.
