The Grinches are out! Watch your back!

[Kashmir]

Yesterday I stopped by Braum's to use one of those nifty $2 of $10 purchase coupons that came in the mail.  I bought more than usual so I could use the coupon.  I put everything on the counter (including the coupon) for checkout and got distracted getting my debit card when the girl gave me the total.  I asked if she had scanned my coupon  and she said that she saw that I had one but didn't know where it went. What??  I then saw it on the counter and then the old lady behind me (folded the EXACT same way I had folded it) grabbed it and snarled "That's Mine!"  What the hell?  So like an idiot, I give her the benefit of the doubt, and I look behind the counter, the floor, and  in my grocery bag for it...no coupon. This is really bugging me now.

So the old lady stole it!  The cashier just shrugs at me and says "Sorry"

Now I'm really pissed.  I called the manger when I got home and their response is "Yeah, we all saw her steal your coupon!"  WHAT THE HECK??
And nobody came over to do any kind of price override, probably having a great time watching me search for this thing like an idiot!

Did I add the old lady got into a car newer and nicer than mine![B)]  It was just $2, but damn, the principle, the principle!

So the Nasty Grinches are out and about this holiday season.  Watch Your Back.[!]

You probably should have had her arrested.  This is probably a gateway crime that could lead to worse crimes; mopery.

Nah, now that that would be crazy! []

Which Braum's was it so I can boycott it.

Guido, it was my own fault for going to the one in Bixby.  I should have stuck to 91st/Sheridan where the teen boy flirts with me but I was in Bixby at the time.  

Walgreeen's in Bixby is just as bad.  The teen cashiers are all gathered around one register laughing their heads off and when you approach they assume this "The teacher is in the room being a crank" attitude; snickering and snorting and giving each other stupid looks, scurrying off to their registers (probably texting each other quickly as well about how working is really ruining their fun) and as soon as you leave they all burst into laughter.  Every. Time.

is this the one next to Lowe's?  I want to check this out.  unfortunately I've had interaction with their "management" so I can tell you you won't get any reprieve there.

Sounds like you are a fellow Southie. I did not know that.

[Kashmir]

That's the one, inteller.  

Why did you interact with management?  I believe anything of that particular Walgreens.
 
It was about a year ago when I last went in there, and it was only because I had to rotate between 31/Harvard, 91/Sheridan and Bixby Walgreens because of this special baby formula my daughter had to have.  I knew better than to try to redeem those manufacturer coupons there, because when I did once no one in the store had a clue how to redeem them-not even management.  The other Walgreens?  No problem.

Now we don't need baby formula any more so I don't have to go there![]

I simply refuse to believe you had a negative experience with somebody. After all, it's not like you are abrasive or something. []

i won't get into much detail, but I had briefly employed a former employee of that particular walgreens.  Fortunately the fate of the world didn't rest in this position I hired the person for.  the types that work at walgreens (and this one in particular) aren't exactly the future leaders of the world.  and telling me about having sex back in the camera processing area didn't help their case during their short length of employment with me.

if you were able to sneak into that store one evening I bet you could witness some very nefarious things going on.

Inteller...that's just ewwww...And why would they tell their boss that?  Kids today, I swear.  And I'm only 29.  I just don't get this hooking up stuff.

just to brag i think.  to them its all normal and I guess figured I'd have some stories to share as well.  i'm not much your elder and I don't get it either.

take that same mentality and you then understand why all of this crap is on myspace and facebook without any regard to the trouble it will bring them in the future.  i did stupid things when i was younger, but I never did ANYTHING as stupid and career stopping as what some people post online these days.

That is why they make handguns.
