Seriously how do these things always seem to happen to me? Does anyone else have as many issues as I do at the registers? I am not mad or frustrated, I just have to laugh because the most illogical solutions are given to me nearly every time. And every time I walk away ask, what just happened? I paid too much for that, but not enough for that, I guess it evens out in the end.
I was so excited to go to the store to get my Charmin and Bounty. After searching all through the store and even on the tops of the frozen isle (read that idea somewhere) I gave up, there was no Bounty in the store.
As I am checking out, having bailed on my whole shopping plan, which was…
buy those 2 things for $26, then get $25 worth of frozen food and get to use my $10 off coupon and score 2 $10 Catalinas and use other coupons I was carrying. Beautiful, brillaint plan…than never panned out.
Anyways, checking out I see the Bounty in the front of the store. Woohoo, so I quickly grab it, gather the Charmin and start my power shopping for the frozen food. I have to hurry because I am going to be late picking up my son from school.
I head to the register and no catalinas print…at all. What went wrong this time?
I go to customer service, where she does the math and I missed the frozen Catalina by $.05, yep, stupid pennies, I was rounding up, that and my bad math, I really thought I was at $26. So I run back grab a veggie and she rings it up again…still no catalina, finally she realizes she doesn’t even have a catalina machine. Really? How did you not know this?
So again they take everything off, ring it up again, 1 catalina prints the other does not. Finally for some reason he hands me cash back and a coupon to use later. Completely confused I walked out, what just happened? Why is there cash back?
Anyways I ended up with over $70 worth of groceries for $32 and $10 for my next trip and a few dollars. Hmmmm.
Last week I had a coupon for B1G1 FREE, the poor guy didn’t know how to do the coupon, so he just didn’t ring up the FREE stuff. Just plopped it in my bag. I never quite know how to deal with those situations. I was running late for a doctors appointment and didn’t have time to explain.
Let’s here your FAIL story. We all have them.
