A friend recently went to Dick's Sporting Goods
to get some athletic socks for her son. He is only
a sophomore, but is 6'5", wears size 15 shoes
and is on the basketball team. In the store she
found the type of socks he wanted, but not in his size.
The salesman told her that Dick's carried that size,
but since there was little demand for them
in each store, they would have to be ordered.
He told her that hecould order them into the store
or that she could go to their web site, order the
socks, and have them delivered to her home in a few
days. She decided to order them herself,
and went home and fired up the computer.
As her husband and son walked into the room,
she was dismayed to find out that dicks.com
is NOT the official web site of Dick's Sporting
goods!
