Many years ago I used to tell the sales ladies that the stuff I was buying was presents for my girlfreind,or my aunt,my cousin,my sister and visa versa. this girlfreind that i had in 1978 and 1979 used to go shopping with me and she got mad at me and told me I didn't have to tell sales personell so many cheezy stories that aren't even true and that if I just went ahead calmly and shopped they would almost definately sell me anything in the store no questions asked. she also told me to stop going into a panic and pleading with her to "tell the lady at the cash register it's for you so I won't have to take any flak". I haven't seen this girlfreind in years. We eventually drifted apart. I have found out that she was right and that actually most places are cool about CD customers. I'm usually a little nervous before I shop but the worst that ever happens is that the store is out of the item or items I was looking for.
