Okay, so a guy walks in to Sam's club with exactly $300 to buy 2 batteries to replace his size 31's. No sweat. First off, the size at Sam's is 29, not the 31. So why are the AGMS's 31's? So who cares- that's not what I'm buying. Then on to checking for the batch and manufactured date draws a blank. Went and asked "the man" while my first mate calls the 800 number on the battery label. She gets bounced around the phone system like a tennis ball. The man, into his file cabinet, can not find the answer. Over to the rack, from between two batteries on another shelf, he pulls out the catalog. Therein we found "the chart".
So now I know the months have a letter and the year has a number. What letter/number? Oh! We had put the batteries all in a nice row, with the "round one-inch stickers" facing the boxes of gallons of water. The hidden ends had stickers with a J1 or a C2 on them. The J1 meaning September 2011, the C2 meaning March of 2012. Holy smokes, these were almost hot off the press! We got just the ones made in March, and being so fresh, we decided to get three.
The cashier tried to explain the core charge. I knew what she meant, but she was not saying it. So, three batteries, core charge (times 3) and tax meant, out of $300, I got change of $2.12. It's all enough to drive a person to drink... but the sodas were$2.25... and I only had $2.12
