Tin roof flea market

Charged a fee for using a credit card. Didn't tell us they were going to. When I asked why it was so much that's when he told me. Got very rude and hateful. He said you don't have to get this. (We finally found a globe to fit our wagon wheel light we had bought.) Then he yelled at me and said wal mart charges you a fee for using a card.

Returned after 2nd day to be told. They were not going to honor the 3 week commitment once again back to the truck stop. I don't believe that God is looking kindly on leaving a 66 year old woman on the side of the road. They are not praying to the same God I am. God surely would not approve and certainly would not impress on any human heart to do what was done to me. I pray God's Blessing on...
