Interesting situation over here about "updates"

That thread is annoying. Her 'crusade' causes more problems than anything else. It's actually a simple fix. When the coupon (for instane 5/10 items) takes of the price of one item, a well trained cashier should void it and manually enter the price.

At target tonight the cashier was going on and on about how angry and rude customers had been when their 1.00 coupon had taken of the price of one item. There is absolutely no reason for any customer (or employee) to get rude and snippy.

The real problem is that Target hasn't properly trained their employee's. If the managers were told how to fix/adjust it, and they then told their cashiers, the entire situation could be avoided.

Card? No, no cards. Well, that's not true but it wasn't a discount card. lol

I agree in most of the Targets I go into... I am told absolute and complete horrid stories about the cashiers not accepting a q and the customer will throw bags with m&m's and such at them...makes me think we have one po'ed SD'er around here Wink I believe that the stores including management could be alot better trained.. but that is a whole 'nother story. My specialty in school is to see what errors corporations make and how to rectify them... boy could Target be an example...

anyways, how was your trip? Whatcha buy? I am so sad I can't go out until Saturday WAAAAAAAAAA LOL HUGS!!

I have so much energy as well. Even DH noticed. Wink I'm so glad I joined you guys and got back on the weight loss bus.



I heart you. You are awesome. This totally cracked me up. I so hope she accepts the challenge.



Your avi is adorable. How do you like the SF canvas? I was thinking about ordering a few but didn't know if they were worth the $$.
She accepted the challenge!! I know what you mean the healthier you eat and the more you exercise the more energetic you are... sending hugs and weight loss vibes to you Smilie

Ariel hug I miss you heart

Had a doc appointment today. Got him to give me some meds to help me sleep. I've been so rev'd up for the past few months with DS's illnesses I just can't sleep anymore. Took one a little while ago and I already feel calmer than I have in months. Thank goodnes Smilie

Picked up a co sleeper for DD (we found on CL), then off to Target to fill prescriptions, mine for great little relaxation pills, and nausea meds for DD. Felt like we were in a discount warehouse. Prices cheaper than Goodwill. Guess we went on a good night. Found Shower curtains, bath rugs/mats etc for 75%. Was able to get a Thomas O'brien Shower curtain, thick bath mat, hand towel and towels for less than 20.00 to do over the bathroom (found nice Home towels for 1.48) woot Comforter sets 75% off, from 80 to 19.99. Found a food processor I'm gonna watch as it wasn't marked low enough yet. Summer sandals for 75% off. Ended up getting a comforter set, new bathroom stuff, sandals, baby toy, baby outfit for 46.00. Used the 20.00 GC for the new RX (which only cost 1.00 after ins)...so a good deal all in all.

Bad thing was I wasn't expecting to go to Target so I didn't have any q's but I do still have Visa cards so it's all good Wink Store was dead so I probably wouldn't have done much q shopping anyway.

Dreeme has risen to the challenge and is now the proud owner of 200 BTFE bringing her total to 400 BTFE! Yeah Dreeme..such a good sport!

Dreeme your final challenge of the night...for 100 BTFE..what zodiac sign am I?

If you think about my character traits I think you should be able to get it.

On another note...DH hit Target up again this evening on his way home and did very well. He went this morning on the way into work and was struck out. Tonight he got all the same things and made out like a bandit.

4 towels
2 pf changes
1 uncle bens rice
1 towel holder

Night everyone.

Actually, the BOGO issue is not an easy fix. The registers that have the 14 update bar any type of K1 and when the price is manually entered, it kicks it out. Causes way more headaches than its worth, especially if you have an inexperienced cashier who is worried about getting in trouble.

I agree, though, that there's no call to be rude or angry with the cashiers. Not like its their fault the company they work for can't get their systems right!!

Hit 3 grocery stores tonight and did pretty well. Got a buttload of groceries we actually need, plus some stuff we don't, for not much money at all. heart it when that happens. And ... I have $12 in cats to spend. Whee

Also ... hubby informed me tonight at dinner that he took tomorrow off!! He is going to drop Jaden off at school, and then watch the girls for me so I can go crazy. That means 3 solid hours of shopping, with no kids...

Thanks dear! I heart the canvases at SF!! I have 4 of them so far! Embarrassment I have 2 different sizes (3 of the 16x20 and 1 of the 24x36). I get compliments on them all. the. time! Three of them (the huge one and 2 smaller ones) were ordered back in the good ole days of REALLY stacking codes. I discovered that it was some weird set up where the more ordered, the cheaper it got. Like I got the big canvas, and about another $50 or so in photo gifts for less than $1 shipped! Whistling The one that is my avi, I just got this last June. I combined a few codes (no where near as good as it used to be) and a $20 off $20 and then a $30 GC. The $20 off $20 was cheap or free, as was the GC Whistling so still a decent deal.
