I had now established my routine, I 'd order my balloons online, pick up my disposable helium tank from my trusty store and have a great party. We had had a Paw Patrol Themed party, Baby Minnie Mouse and was planning my second child's 2nd birthday Mickey Mouse themed celebration.
It was a packed week so I didn't get the chance to pick up the helium, but I'd taken the morning to pick up her snacks and planned to pick up thehelium. So off I went to the trusty store like I'd done so many times before. This was going to be easy, right? Wrong!!!
I'm not ready to buy another set of balloons just to satisfy their policy (i'm sulky and incensed so I'm thinking who's going buy your slightly overpriced limited range balloons after that) but I believe that technology and social media will find me a balloon store with helium in 15 minutes. So I google away but it was just too early, there were very few stores to call and only one picked up (it was quite early and stores were yet to open) and the one store that picked was just too far away.
I was as deflated as my balloons and resolved to have the party without balloons but is was then I decided to join the business of bringing joy to parties in the form of balloons and HELIUM INFLATING SERVICES.

Me: Can I get a helium tank?
Store: No we're out
Me: Ok, I have some balloons I'd like to inflate
Store: You can do that at the front(Now at the front)
Me: I'd like to get these inflated
Store:Where did you get these?
Me: I brought them to the store with me
Store:We can't inflate your balloons, only balloons bought here at the store
Me: Ok, my kids party is in 30 minutes, I'll pay whatever it'd cost just to inflate the balloons.
Store: Sorry Ma, that's our policy here, you could've gotten a helium tank but we don't have any.I'm frazzled, I mean what store has a product and says no to a sale.
