Dee's search for bromance

[deelaundry]

Guy at Exxon station: We only carry newspapers.

Guy at Borders: No, we don't carry TV Guide. Try the Books-a-Million over in [town approximately ten miles away].

Guy at 7-11 #1: There aren't any over there? *pulls out three-ring binder with delivery lists in it* Oh, I guess we didn't get any this week.

Guy at 7-11 #2: You want three copies of TV Guide? Really?

Husband: Yes, OK, fine, I'll watch the kids so you can go find more copies of the magazine. Why don't you pick up dinner on the way back?

*hugs husband*

ETA
Grocery store: *copies of last week's issue*

Guy at drugstore: TV Guide? I haven't seen that here in a loooong time.

Blockbuster: *carries Vogue, Teen Vogue, Heroes magazine, gaming magazines, Entertainment Weekly, but no TV Guide*

7-11 #3: *Dee walks past cops talking sternly to some drunk-looking dude, to buy all but the last copy of the House-Wilson TV Guide* YAY!

I'm having the same issue, dee. Two large grocery chains and one Rite-Aid so far.

My local, indy bookstore doesn't even carry TVGuide, which I didn't realize until I asked and the employee answered me in a bit of a snotty voice! I'll have to try Borders tomorrow. A half-hour drive, but worth it in this case.

And yea, I'm not looking forward to the strange looks I'll get when I bring three or four copies up to the register.

I'd call ahead to the Borders -- they should be able to tell you if they stock it. If not, 7-11 was what ended up working for me.

I'm fairly certain that my Borders stocks it; they have the greatest magazine section in this area. Every mainstream and obscure publication one could imagine. That's where I had to go to get Interview magazine when Hugh was in it. (I don't think that's considered obscure, but it certainly is around here. Borders was the only place within an hour that stocks it!)

But I will call ahead to see if they have this issue out yet.
