DAY 357: IS IT THAT BIG A DEAL?

     Is it that big a deal for the Volvo dealership to comp me the batteries for my car key remote?!  I mean they make money hand over fist at that place and have the nerve to tell me they're charging me for batteries.  I think not.  And I told my service advisor that.  Well, technically I said: "you're really going to charge me for the batteries for my key remote?"  He replied: "yes."  But when I got there to pick up my car, he informed me he that "took care" of the batteries.  Oh, how incredibly generous of you kind sir.  Cut me a break.  I would've been livid if I'd left there paying for some lousy batteries.
