A friend recently went to Dick's Sporting Goods to get some athletic socks for her son. He is only a sophomore, but is 6'5", wears size 15 shoes and is on the basketball team. In the store she found the type of socks he wanted, but not in his size.
The salesman told her that Dick's carried that size, but since there was little demand for them in each store, they would have to be ordered. He told her that hecould order them into the store or that she could go to their web site, order the socks, and have them delivered to her home in a few days. She decided to order them herself, and went home and fired up the computer.
As her husband and son walked into the room, she was dismayed to find out that dicks.com is NOT the official web site of Dick's Sporting goods! |
