A Betoota boomer has had to call in the tech experts this afternoon, asking a Harvey Norman sales assistant where she can buy a ‘Crypto’ for Christmas.
Spotted searching high and low amongst a myriad of shelves displaying slow cookers and hair-straighteners, The Advocate witnessed local Betoota Heights mother of two, Raelene Edwards (58), attempt to buy her son a festive present.
“Cuse’ me, do you know where I can find a Crypto?”, Mrs Edwards asked a vacant eyed TV salesman.
“They’re this new techy thing my son keeps talking about to his mates, I really don’t want him to miss out.”
Frustrated and annoyed by the sales assistant’s patient attempt to explain that cryptocurrency appears exclusively in the digital world, Mrs Edwards is believed to have asked to speak to the manager concerning the disappointing levels of stock in the Betoota Homemaker Centre Harvey Norman.
“I’ve bought many electronic things here before, in fact I’m a member, I would have thought you’d have plenty” said a rather impatient Mrs Edwards.
“Don’t tell me I have to order it in, you guys really should have stocked yourselves better for Christmas!”
The move comes as thousands of Australians flock to Westfield and Stockland shopping centres, forcibly entering multi storey car parks thanks to their own lack of organisation to order things online before Christmas arrives.
Wrapping up the argument with a rather curt huff, a stressed Mrs Edwards has told The Advocate she’ll be taking her money elsewhere.
“Look I’ve got a shopping wish list longer than my arm to sort out, I don’t have time to stand here and talk to idiots about whether they’ve got stuff in stock.”
“I think this Crypto thing could be one of those attachments my son plugs into his Xbox.”
“I might head over to that EB Games place and see if they have any.”
More to come.
