I Just Bought...

**BobMc** · 12-23-2006, 12:53 AM

The most expensive 12 pack I've ever purchased. $57.00 for a 12 pack of Bud Light. (From the hotel bar.)

Normally I wouldn't pay $57.00 for a 12 pack, but today has been something else.

We were on our way to Tennessee to visit my wife's mother for Christmas. We were delayed on the runway in SLC for two hours. When we arrived at O'Hare we were late for our flight to Knoxville. American Airlines stellar customer service can't get us out of here until Sunday at noon. They also denied paying for a hotel room or even a meal voucher.

To say I'm a bit po'ed would be an understatement. We tried to no avail to rent a car and drive the 10 hours to TN.

This sucks, Merry Christmas,

BobMc

Merry Christmas, best of luck.

why on earth did you buy bud light? If you are gonna pay a crapton for beer you might as well spend the extra ten bucks and get something that is drinkable.

Sorry to hear, dude. Hope they can pull some magic tricks out of their hats.

Have a good Christmas. As good as you can.

Yea, good luck dude. $57 is insane, though... I don't think I could bring myself to pay that much for Bud Light.

Denied at the airport in Missoula this morning. Flight to DIA was late and there was no way we would have made our connection so they gave us tickets for Christmas day. First class....but still through DIA.

$57 would get you a lift ticket at the Ghee. 5" reported today. Hahaaa! 5" in my driveway and a six'er of Full Sail that I bought for 7 bucks. Today is gonna to b good.

Have fun in TN sucka.

I gotta think after you ordered a $57 sixer, ole bartender smirked, and did his best not to comment "What a _____!"

**Andyzee** · 12-23-2006, 09:35 AM

To bad you didn't stay in SLC

Merry Christmas, hope you get there on time.

**Cono Este** · 12-23-2006, 09:47 AM

Did you leave him 8.55$ for a tip?

Sounds like a bummer, hope it all works out.

**SplitbordKayak** · 12-23-2006, 09:58 AM

Dude, dont know whats worse, charging that much or you paying that much. Smoke rocks instead.

**road trip** · 12-23-2006, 10:51 AM

I think we've all been there at one point or another. I honestly feel like, with the luck I've been having lately on airlines, that I should give myself a buffer day when scheduling all my flights.

**truth** · 12-23-2006, 11:16 AM

Dood...ya shoulda called me.

I'd do a delivery for half that.

If there is anything I can do let me know. I'd also look at trying to get a flight out of Midway, looks like you can get a 7:30 am flight to Nashville on Southwest.

That pretty much says it all, right there

Get on the blue line and head into the city. There's no need to sit at O'Hare.

Ouch! That salt in my wound burns.

**Red Baron** · 12-23-2006, 04:23 PM

C'mon, at this point there are almost as many Maggots living here in Chicago, as there are in Utah...I'd have brought ya' some good beer too.

AD's right, 40 min on the blue line and take the family to Mag Mile, that $57 6-pack won't seem too pricey anymore...
