I bought flowers for my aunt at a grocery store (it was close to work)
Well, they didn't have any vases, so I ran over to Eckerds or whatever it was to see if they had one (they usually have an aisle with random crap) and they didn't have one.
So I ran over to this garden store (where they sell flowers) bought a vase, and then they let me bring the flowers in and arrange them in the vase, without so much as batting an eye. I ended up with 2 leftover bunches of flowers which I gave to the ladies at the nurse station in case anybody needed a pick-me-up and my aunt loved the flowers.
