We picked up our rental car around noon. They gave us a 2012 Fiat 500--very small, very cute, lots of features. I'm still not comfortable with the way it handles, though; it's way too responsive and practically turns on a dime.
We were thrilled to have a car at last and itching to try it out but hadn't made any specific plans, so our first outing was a run to Costco. Mostly we bought food, but we also picked up three thumb drives. As soon as we left the store, Nancy packed everything into her reusable sack and we left the cart by the door. Back at the RV, we couldn't find the drives. They were blister packed on a large card and it seemed impossible that we could have left them behind in the cart, but apparently we did.
Since Nancy needed the drives, we returned to Costco to buy some more. I felt sure they were long gone, but we looked in the carts by the door anyway. Inside, we asked the man checking receipts if anyone had turned them in. He sent us to the Customer Service desk where we explained our problem to one of the managers. She told us to go back to the checkout stand and if we hadn't left it there, to just go take another card. Nancy, who has a slight hearing impairment, thought she had misheard and had the lady say it again. But no, it was true. We left with a free replacement.
Thank you, Costco!
