Okay, I will post about my target run.


So if you have read this, I am sorry for being so long-winded! I do not really have any other Target's near my house. The next one is about 100ish miles away (depending on which route, its between 100-120 miles) and I cannot drive there that often. This one was just over an hour and was feasible to drive to during the week while DD was in school.
EEK! That is so unprofessional! I would definitely call corporate. She should not get away with talking to a customer like that. Mad

Quote from Jen2882 :
Here's a thought....do NOT call target guest service. Call their corporate office at 612-304-6073. See if you can get through to their human resources dept...or if you have to call guest service ask that human resources call you back. Often issues are not brought to the attention of corporate (we try to take care of all guest complaints...believe me you dont want them escalated to corporate) I guarantee you will get more of a result that way.
Thanks! I did not have that number, so I will be calling them for sure! I appreciate it, I will probably try to call in the morning Smilie

Quote from carebearsluv :
OMG

plgffl, I am so sorry you had to go through that!! Comfort

I hope you can get in contact with corporate and tell them exactly what happened!!

I hope she gets fired Ranting
I hope so too, just the language is what really offended me. I could not refrain myself after she let it fly loose. I tried to record with my cell phone, but apparently you have to hold the voice button down and I did not. argh!

Corporate has been called. I have been in touch with the DM. I guess I will try the above number and see what happens. I am just going to have to keep going up the chain of command until I get it straightened out.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm sure you already have, but I would call target gs again.....ugh I can't believe people get away with crap like that. If I EVER talked to a guest like that I would be fired.

I'll share my T story...not nearly as bad as yours.

Ok, I was already tired and not feeling well and I had left my q's at the first target which I didnt notice until i had my run altogether at the 2nd store, so had to go back to the 1st store and grab them. (left them on a sehfl, im a dummy lol) So then i go to a 3rd T....get my run together...which took forever b/c I just couldnt think straight.

Go to check out, everything goes fine and he gets to like the 3rd coupon and this witch in line behind me, who apparently works there, starts yelling at my cashier that he can not take internet coupons if they are not in color? I was like excuse me??? I use these all the time here. (rayovac) she yells at my cashier no, you can not take those turn on your light now. I'm pretty sure he's new so he listens. The cashier next to him was like what's going on? The old witch ignores her and I turn around and I say she's telling him not to take my q's b/c they arent in color...I told her and the witch...i have a black and white printer! She goes did you get these off the internet? I said yes from a coupon website!! ($1/2 bonne bell q's) so noone is coming to help him...she stomps off to gs to pull an lod or whoever back over...

meanwhile the very sweet cashier next to my cashier comes over and tells him to scan them and the register will tell him if he can't take them....so he scans them all and k1's like a champ, but i was seriously ready to just burst into tears b/c i was not even in the mood. Why is using coupons so freakin difficult?


But the rayovac are in black and white even if you have a color printer, unless you print the blue background above it and don't cut that out. Confused

I inadvertently printed some of the rayovac that had the 4 pack limit on them and didn't notice till I checked out at the Cave Springs store. The cashier said I couldn't use them for the $ spot batteries as they were not 4 packs, he checked with the LOD who must have said something to him before about these coupons. They have seen a lot of them, and I guess know that some have the alkaline 4 pack requirement. I always buy alkaline, but only the two pack from the dollar spot.

I didn't realize I printed the other coupon until the LOD pointed out it was for the four pack. I had the newspaper version of the coupons, so I just used them. I disposed of the 4 pack requirement coupons when I got home and printed the right ones which I used successfully at that stores and others since.

Have you tried the $10 off $50 at this store?

I need a FEW drinks right now.
Sounds like everyone is having a crappy day!
My husband informed me that he can no longer go to my mom's house (2.5 hours away)with us the day after X-mas because he gave his supervisor the day off and he has to work. He didnt even suggest that we go another day. Then he told me that he will probably go get his son (who lives 3 hours away) right after we open presents on Christmas. Uh hello...what about us. We discussed this last Christmas. Can you go get him either before or after Christmas, but not on the day of...I know I probably sound like a whiney, shitty step-mom, but I am very frustrated and depressed about the whole thing.
Anyway, I am sure I won't be able to sleep tonight. Maybe I will go make a nice, big hot chocolate with vanilla vodka.

I have heard you mention you shop in the area, and I shop there sometimes. laugh out loud They are usually good with coupons, but lately I it has been harder. That blonde girl with pigtail ponytails (I should say woman, as she is no girl and looks silly in pigtails) doesn't seem to have a clue on coupons. A younger boy I mentioned seems like he would be good with coupons, but is surprisingly harder. Don't know about the older woman you mention, but the younger aged LOD is sorta tough, she is the one who says one per purchase and told my younger cashier to be on the look out for the rayovac coupons for $ shop purchases.

My favorite cashier at this store is the dark haired boy with short hair and glasses, he is a true Jedi Knight! I will be shopping at this store for my after Christmas stuff.

Oh interesting, I didn't use one yet, but I did try to scan the larger version and it scanned fine for me. I actually tested it at the scanner in Cave Springs. I thought I would save mine for the after Christmas sale, when I would be buying home stuff I guess (Christmas home stuff that is).

When I have a $ off coupon I always tell them it needs to be scanned first or it won't work, only a few times cashiers refused to do it this way. One was an LOD who wouldn't take the party coupon anyway for my animal plate purchases and another time in Cave Springs. Good thing that time my total was still high enough in the middle of scanning coupons and me saying it wasn't going to work at the end a few more times, the cashier grudgingly scanned it. It was also the party coupon with pigtail lady.
