Yes we have a refrigerator in our living room, but this fact is not the amazing part. The story on how we got the fridge is an amazing story. We shop at our local Buy 4 Less frequently. The manager and all the employees know us, because feeding all these teens is a big job. Tim has an affection for Rock Star Energy Drinks, specifically the Guava ones. One day about 6 months ago, Tim saw the manager standing near the Rock Star Refrigerator/Store display and asked what it would take for him to get one. The manager quickly replied, “Ask this guy right here,” as he pointed to a Rock Star Representative standing on the other side of the display. So Tim asked the Representative. The guy said he would check.
The next day when we went back to the store the manager said the Representative had called his Regional manager who said there was an extra one in the warehouse. Shortly after this the manager said everything was approved at no cost to us, but the refrigerator would be shipped to the store. We were thrilled we were getting a free mini fridge! Three months later the manager told us it had arrived and we went into the back to get it. It was new in the box. A receiving manager approached us to assist us and said this other box goes with it. Tim and I were like, “No, we are just getting the refrigerator.” He said, “No, this box goes with it.” We got to looking and sure enough the refrigerator box was box 1 of 2. So we took both boxes. When we got home, we realized they sent us the base with the fridge. The base is a black metal shelf for the fridge to bolt to and holds the fridge up high enough so we can open it without hitting the arms to our couch and loveseat.
So we got the mini fridge AND this sturdy metal shelf unit for FREE!!!! Like Tim always says, “It never hurts to ask!”
So yes … that is a refrigerator in our living room!
