Got aggravated at Target...and made $6

So I run to Target b/c I needed to pick up a few things for dinner tonight. Grab one of the carry baskets and proceed to collect my eight items.

Get up to the checkout lines and pick the shortest one. The woman in front of me had a large order but the cashier was almost done scanning it all. Suddenly, the woman whips out a stack of coupons that would make Martha Stewart proud. And I mean a STACK, like 1" thick. The cashier almost feinted.

Five minutes later after the coupons, the woman whips out some kind of tax-free, free food form with all kinds of official looking stamps on it.

The poor kid cashier tried for like 10 mintues to input whatever numbers he had to, but it wouldn't go. Another cashier comes over and fiddles; nothing.

Finally I see some manager type walk by and I walked over and said "Excuse me. Could you please help out over here (points at confused cashier) I've been in line for ten minutes already.

Manager enters magic codes and stuff and the sale is completed. While the cashier is ringing me up, the manager hands me a coupon good for $3 off my next purchase. When I get home, I discover that there are TWO coupons, but they were stuck together so it looked like one. 😀

Cliff Notes

I got pissed off b/c I waiited in line for 10 minutes at Target and I got free coupons good for $6 off my next purchase.
 
Well...I guess I WAS patient, but when I blew, I blew. I sorta "directed" the manager. He was a wee man. :evil:
 
I was in line at Trader Joes the other day with 2 six-packs and the people ahead of me were a dime short for their purchase, so i just gave them a dime i had in my pocket...the casheir then just charged me for 10 beers instead of 12...mmm 2 beers for 10 cents

$core!! Can't beat that with a bat. :beer: I'll bet those were the tastiest beers EVAR!
 
yah, one of my teachers just got like a $50 gift card because they screwed up her order online and shipping was horrendous and all.
 
See, now you won't hate them. All it took was $6 off and you'll remain a customer 🙂

That's why I like places like Target, for their customer service

Believe me, if I hadn't driven all the way to the store b/c I NEEDED flour (yes, flour...I needed it to cook dinner!) I would've left the stuff on the conveyor belt and bailed.

The sad part is, the woman probably saved something like $5.99, overall...

feinted:
1. A feigned attack designed to draw defensive action away from an intended target.
2, A deceptive action calculated to divert attention from one's real purpose.
