MY complaint, is that the stores don't put all the HP stuff in the same
spot.
Toys in one section, Blankets, and pillows in another.. books in a 3rd, and
those hard to find items, like the little caludron "candy cups" in a totaly
different area.. Some stores I go to, takes 2 hours to go check all the
"areas" where they hide this stuff.. And they constantly re-arrange the
shelves, and where they put it, so each time I have to start a search from
scratch.. can't go back to where I saw it before..
And today, I went to Meijers, and found: an owl, and the HP:COS Playstation
1 game. Of course I got it!
