Never take no for an answer

This Sunday, before our big, mean move, I was missing an important item and ran down to Costco to get it. On Sunday, the store closes at 6 pm and that particular location was out of the stuff I wanted and I absolutely, positively need it for tomorrow morning.

So, I find a department clerk and ask him to check if what I want happens to be available at their nearby location. He checks, says yes, but declares that I won't have the time to get there on time. He's absolutely positive about this impossibility.

Because I'm an optimist, I think otherwise, we jump in the car, race to the other place just in time before the doors close, get what we want and drive home!
