Sometime this week I will purchase two packages of Stayfree pad for $1.99 each. I have a b1g1 free coupon, plus a $1 off coupon. My grand total will be about 80 cents (factoring my discount).
I will also get two 6 packs of Dove bar soap for men and a bottle of body wash for about $10. And I get a $6 Register Reward.

She Gave Me A Candy Bar
These things happened yesterday:
This woman came in talking loudly on her phone. She took a cart and started shopping. When she came to my register, she was still talking loudly on the phone. She purchased the Tide for $10.99 and was alarmed that her total was $12 something. We do charge tax, of course. I asked her four times if she wanted a bag, and I didn't get an answer until the fifth try. She said "Of course, you want me to walk out without one?" Like I was stupid for asking, and it was unheard of for someone to use the handle. Then she told me she wanted $2 on her card, and $10.03 in cash. She was STILL on the phone, loudly. Her voice was so irritating that I walked away until I heard "EXCUSE ME!! EXCUSE ME!!" And I walked s-l-o-w-l-y back to my register. Apparently I was supposed to put $10 on her card and $2 in cash. I would have known that if she wasn't on the phone, and I told her so. She started getting serious attitude, so I offered to call the manager but since she was still on the phone, she didn't hear me and she walked away. Thank fuck.
I was gossiping with our magazine vendor in aisle 7. I was at the edge of the aisle and took a step back to check my register and this elderly woman hit me with her cart! She actually just tapped my shoe, but I doubled over laughing. I think she thought I was hurt, so she stood there, asking if I was o.k. She looked very concerned. I kept telling her I was ok...I thought we were finished. She eventually came back to the register and asked if I was o.k again. I told her she only hit my shoe, and that I was totally fine...then she offered me a CANDY BAR! I tried to tell her I didn't need one, but who am I to turn down a 3 Musketeers bar from an elderly woman? I ate it today.

At The Time, It Did Not Seem Like A Big Deal
The parking lot at my store is a deathtrap. At least three times a week there is an "incident". Today the incident came to us. While on my smoke break I heard the unmistakable crunch of cars hitting each other. Then a car pulled into our lot (after blocking traffic before deciding to turn in) with it's left mirror hanging off. I had to go in before I found out what happened.
There was a lot of yelling done by me today.

I Bought Tampons
I did call my manager BEFORE I said something to upset someone. This woman was complaining that our store coupon did not take off the proper amount, and that I should have scanned it twice to get the full deal. Which is not how our coupons work. Which I told her, quietly and politely. I also told her that if she had any further questions or concerns, she will have to speak with my manager. I directed her to photo, she continued to stand at my register, I asked her if she wanted a manager and she (not politely) said she did. At which point I directed her to photo again, this time accompanied by a hand gesture to indicate where the photo counter was. Away she went.
The world of customer service is a bright and cheery one.
My entire day was not like this...I also bought myself some tampons. I knew that buy one get one deals allows the consumer to use two coupons, but for some reason I thought that would not apply to "gift" items (items that are free after the purchase of another). Turns out you can use two coupons for these deals. Now we know. Happy couponing!

Are You New Here?
I created a blog for myself in high school, but I had forgotten how easy it is. This blog will be dedicated to my life as a cashier/beauty advisor. I do not wish to engage in any lawsuits at this time, so I will be keeping names out.
