Morons

So I called Dell today to try to find out how much a new battery costs. I hate calling places like that. The people I speak to are idiots. It took him forever just to find out which battery worked on my laptop. Once he did, he gave me a quote of $149. I asked him for the part number. He wouldn't give it to me!

He wanted to know why I wanted to know the part number. I told him that I wasn't prepared to spend that much today. He put me on hold. Next thing I know, he's quoting me $70 for the exact same battery! What a jerk.

I had fully intended to buy the battery from Dell, but now I think I'm going to have to find some place else that can sell me the same battery.
