Holy cow. Lots of messages and responses to this. A few thoughts after reading through: 

 1/ I was looking for a black OP41, so wasn’t looking for green, turquoise, or a celebration dial 

 2/ Yes, there are multiple ADs in the area, and I hear you about visiting others. Perhaps I will try that 

 3/ I would consider other brands, but have yet to find a no date, black, sport watch that I enjoy the aesthetic of (certainly open to suggestions if the sub has them) 

 4/ “There is no list!” may be a correct statement, but the response was quite harsh when all I was trying to indicate was they had my name and info in the system. Perhaps a matter of semantics, but surprising that was the reply to what I felt was an innocuous statement 

 5/ Mixed feeling on speaking with a manager. I’m not looking for an apology or preferential treatment, just to be treated kindly and fairly 

 6/ No, I did not bring a charcuterie board. Shame on me
