MEC
Last Christmas, Edmond and Selina bought me a backpack from MEC that i really, really liked.
Mine is black instead of burgandy though. For those that know my tastes, i like it because it's not too busy like a lotta backpacks. It looks "clean" and has a few easily accessible pockets. Nice and compact.
Recently, the zipper on the bag broke! i think that this was a combination of me overloading it and the fact that i got a plastic bag stuck in it. But a year and a bit is still pretty weak sauce for a zipper to break down.
i knew that MEC doesn't do warranties on zippers but i went down Thursday night anyways to see what i could do. i talked to the service guy and he acknowledged that they've been having trouble with these zippers cause of the way they sew it inside out and put a teflon coating on it. He said it would cost 40 bucks to fix. i suggested that there had to be some middle ground cause it was obviously not due to wear and tear so he offered paying for half of a new bag.
i went to grab the same bag and brought it to him and he was stunned. haha. He asked if i was sure i wanted the same bag cause he couldn't do this again if the zipper broke. i said ok and went back to look for a different bag.
i met a MEC worker by the bags with a tied back pony tale and some sort of european accent. i let him know how much i liked the bag and was disappointed that the zipper broke but the rest of the bag was fine and he said he could just give me a new bag! And that is exactly what he did! This is astonishing as MEC has angered a lot of customers by refusing to do anything about damaged zippers.
i asked for his name and shook his hand. He said his name was Anabel. i swear that his nametag said David but i was too happy at the moment to ask him why he chose to go by a girl's name.
David Lui suggested that it was his streetname in order to garner streetcred. hahaha.
Moral of the story. If you need to replace your MEC bag, look for a guy named Anabel with a nametag that says David.

On a sidenote: i passed my clinical exam! WOOT!
What does this mean? Nothing really. Just that i don't have to rewrite it until i pass.
