There are a few things my husband loves. Pens are on the top of that list, and anything made in the USA fills in most of the rest of that list. So because our 10 yr anniversary is coming up in a few days, I decided to get him something kind of nice and opted for a nice made in the USA pen. And since I know nothing about pens, nice ones or grocery store ones, I went into Shapiros and asked. I gave the guy price range and what my husband looks for in a product. And we came up with this pen. Now, I'm going to interrupt this story with this.... I don't get the pen thing. I enjoy a nice roller BIC pen with a nice grip. I like a pencil just as well. If it writes, I'll take it. I decided to give him his gift last night, because he got me a memory foam mattress topper, and I got it last night because he wanted me to pick it out. So as he's opening this i pick up the box and read, Made in China. I know, good luck finding something that's not. But, I'm irritated that the sales man told me it was a US product, and gave me this whole shpeel about how it was only 1 of 2 still made in the USA. And yes, I will pay more money for a US product. Any who, Shapiros will be getting an email from me.That's my story.

Oh, that is SO crappy. You'd better believe they'd be getting at least an email from me.
Oh, so frustrating!! Congrats on your anniversary though. Oh, and thanks for the gift! We got it the other day in the mail and have already rented a movie. (:
So the question I have is - did he at least like it? Made in China and all? Happy anniversary!
