When I first started off in college, I rented a small home where I had to use a window A/C unit.
I truly purchased the cooling device from the local hardware store where I was laboring.
I got an employee discount and I purchased the cooling device while it was on sale too, so I saved a lot of cash on that cooling machine. It came with a nifty remote control and everything. Well, I also remember a time when some shady looking teenagers came into the store. I was seeing them carefully thinking for some reason that they were going to try to steal something. Sure enough, they went to the air filter part and tried to shove a couple of air filters under their shirts. Imagine myself and others seeing these teenagers with these bulky shirts loaded with air filters and them trying to get away. I ended up calling security and I helped go after the teenagers. They ended up ditching the air filters, however those things were already damaged. Both of us had to file a police report and I ended up providing a description of the culprits. They said they had reports of other dealers in the part who also had items stolen and they suspected these might be the same teenagers causing all this trouble. I remember wondering if they tried to steal the air filters because they could not afford to purchase modern 1s. It must be taxing not being able to afford anything, however you have to live truthfully and get a job to get by in life.
