Walgreens...UGH!

I wish I could walk away. I wish I could let the deals go right on by. But I can't.

So I continue to shop at Walgreens, hating every moment of it. I always walk into the store hoping that my favorite cosmetics cashiers are working, but they rarely are. A majority of the cashiers are just rude and don't like couponers (or, at least, me). They make mistakes, but blame me. I try to be nice, but yet stand my ground. Last night however, I lost it.

After filling my cart, I found an empty aisle, broke out my calculator, and made sure that my order would not produce a pre-tax total of zero or less. I triple checked my items to coupons ratio and everything was in line. During checkout, the register wouldn't take my $4 register reward coupon. Standing my ground, the manager finally just "cashed out" my receipt, and my subtotal was $3.97 which is why the register reward wouldn't go through.

Rolling my eyes, I went and grabbed one more 12-cent item to bring my total up. During the re-check out process, now my subtotal was more than this one additional item. I asked the clerk if I could compare to the first receipt to see the difference. She told me she didn't know where it was. The manager stopped back and told her where it was and to let me see if. The cashier still wouldn't give it to me. I was in a time crunch, so I left.

After I got home, I refigured everything and discovered what happened. The cashier failed to charge me for one of my items the first time around. I was right and she was wrong. But yet, I'm the one standing there trying to hold my ground, as other customers are getting mad at me. In the end, I'm the bad customer and I have to fix the problem - even though the problem was never mine to begin with.

Man, I hate Walgreens.
