It's an alert tone for AP that indicates a known couponer is roaming the aisles...

I know someone asked this but I can't remember if it was here or over in deals. I got a cup of coffee at Starbucks before starting my ST run this morning. Asked the cashier if I could buy a SB GC using a T GC. She said "sure, people do it all the time". Then she added "I mean, only if the SB is inside a T, not at a regular SB". Which made me CRACK up because I can just imagine people walking into a free standing SB with a T GC wanting coffee.

Quote from shop247mom :
Heads up, I just "fished" Qs out of a BUNCH of refills using the squish method someone posted about. I thought that was a great idea. After I had done all but about 10 boxes, I noticed that the metal parts of the inside of the candles were now poking up through the top of the candles!! In ALL of them!!!!! I decided to open a box and burn one to see what it would do. It lasted all of about 5 minutes. Now I hadn't burned ANY before now, but I would think that's not long enough! And it looks like a razor blade poking up through the candles now! I'd sure hate to have to throw them all in the trash now, but I certainly am not giving them away as gifts. Maybe I'll sell them for .25 each. It's not like I'm losing money if I trash them though!laugh out loud Anyways, just a heads up! I'll be gettin my glue gun out for now on!

I read the back of the box and they said each candle is suppose to last 2-3 hours. I called them and told them they only lasted 10-20 min for me (true, and I love them!). They sent me a free coupon for EACH defective box I had. I only told them about two, but I could have told them about the other 15 I have... (I mostly buy jar candles, no coupons in the refills near me)

The same games as in Target. The box ones that are purple. I haven't found that I remember on the black box.

I lucked out at WM. They had a special area for boxed games, in the middle of an aisle. All those games no peelies. Left me thinking where is all the other box games?

I found the different area with all the other missing games and BINGO! Peelies were on those.

You know, I had to take each box off the shelf and visionally inspect each box. Turn them over and look at all that were on the shelf. I finished that and behind was items made by Playschool. bounce bounce bounce

I had a weird experience at Target yesterday. First off, clearance clothing was an extra 30% off (regional because the Target only a mile away did NOT have the sale).. So I went to check out and I went to the cute little teenage boy.. They are the easiest for me to deal with usually. So I asked him if the clearance tops were ringing up 30% off, he said yeah.. Then I looked and the extra amount was NOT being taken off.

So I informed him of the sign (and the Target lady who had originally pointed out the sale to me while I was shopping.. very nice of her, I hadn't noticed the extra 30% sign until she pointed it out to me).

So, he's trying to figure out how to take the extra 30% -- he didn't even verify that an extra 30% was going on.. he had no clue it was and took my word for it. So, he is pushing buttons trying to figure out how to take the extra % off.. the first one that comes up is a dollar amount for him to enter.

He starts asking me what 30% off of the different clothing items.. And I am trying to do crazy math in my head - (since they are clearanced they are in weird dollars and cents combos, like $12.97 or whatever).. anyway, he says "maybe I should call someone over".. he didn't seem to want to do that at all.. lol.. so he kept pushing buttons. Finally I realized that under the extra $ off manual entry.. there was something that said "percentage off".. something like that.. and I told him that's probably how you do it. Sure enough, it seemed to work.. (I need to look at my receipt again)..

Anyway, I have had so many experiences where employees quickly get a manager to their side to figure things out..They cling on to them like a life saver or something..

This dude totally did NOT want to do that. And I could have said an extra 90% off and he probably would have entered it. (not that I would ever do that.. just sayin' he didn't seem to care).

I heart male teenage cashiers!

They were on the Cranium Family Edition Game - I did have to move a couple out of the way, found them on two near the back, on the bottom self. They were over the Gold Toy of the Year award sticker. Smilie

He's makin a funny. I've never heard that noise. I do get paranoia in Kmart though. Seems like they are always doing a security sweep in the section I happen to be in laugh out loud

The poster that said that was joking. I've never heard that sound that I know of. Or maybe I'm too busy concentrating!!

That is a great idea to spend my (I mean Target's) GCs!!!! It's so obvious that I don't even see that. My family and extended ones too love Starbucks coffee. woot

We all should write emails to corporate requesting GCs from other vendors. All the competitors are doing GC racks. (K, CVS, HD Big Grin)

DH went Targeting with me and disappeared as I was checking out. Of course, he went to the food court and bought lunch with MONEY. EEK! Slap "Hellooooo!!!! We have GCs!!!!"
