RETIRED: Target Chit Chat

I hate them, I always feel like I'm walking with a backwards wedgie with them in and I look like urkel constantly adjusting my crotch

so which brand do you recommend..i have never used a tampon, pad person but wanna try it out to see the diff...

Personally I prefer the regular ones, but I have used the compact version as well (what can I say, they were on clearance and I am a SD whore).



LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any tattoos either, my daughter has 2. The only thing 'negative' I have ever said was to my niece when she got a small puppy tattoo on her lower stomach. I told her, it's a puppy now, but when you get pregnant it will be a St. Bernard, and after you have the baby it will be a Shar pei

*snip* but they have the thinnest string so you can't feel them once there in. Steer clear of Tampax IMHO

I do get random peeps come up to and ask about & my most desiped ? "what does that say?" errrrrrrrrrrr, READ IT YOU STUPID!

I have 4 kids, 10 yo ds, 5 yo ds, 3 yo dd, & monkey is 20 months ds, I was preg with #5 both we lost her so the universe is telling us something...we will listen then hopefully be granted another chance to round out the crew.

I'm almost not sad I didn't buy any of these...I don't know how people use pads, they drive me crazy!

Yeah, Alexa will be 11 in 20 days () so I understand. I hope it is later, rather than sooner, but I would like to be stocked up just in case I don't get what I want!

okay this is funny and as a relative - mildly acceptable, but I have tribal design star wrapped around my belly button & 4 pregnancies later still as crappy as the day I got 15 years ago at age 16!

anyway, i mainly came to post a question. have any of you ever experienced hostility while buying your sunday papers? not from store employees, but from other customers?

he wanted to get a basketball on his chest.. i told him no way am i going to be forced into staring at THAT every time we.. you know..

Yes, but the customer was an employee He was either going on break or getting off from work and was all pissy bc I bought a ton of papers! He even said "I hope you saved one for me" I usually give them to anyone who wants one, since I just want the Q's, but with his pissy @ss attitude, I smiled and walked away with my HUGE stack of papers!

I would have said "well, actually I did, but now that you mention it, think I'll buy that one too!"

I was eleven when I started. I was all happy about it at the time. . . little did I know.

...

We went to Macy's b/c we had a large gc to spend...didn't even spend all of it b/c dd started being a monster...but I can tell you that I have never "spent" that much on lingerie before in my life..and that was clearance stuff!! that store is super expensive, but I got super cute stuff.

Oh, and I just wanted to share my good deed with you guys because I know you would appreciate how good it made me feel!

Yes, but the customer was an employee He was either going on break or getting off from work and was all pissy bc I bought a ton of papers!

on the basketball!

Never any hostility from customers...I could see if you were buying the last paper and they wanted one too...what would be the reason for hostility? For all they know you have a wedding announcement or something and want alot of copies...



I would have said "well, actually I did, but now that you mention it, think I'll buy that one too!"

We can only buy papers from the machune here, every sunday I go to grocery store the one machine is at & get my roll-o-quarters and then go pull away, people will stand and watch me, IDK if they think I am stealing them or thinking 'what the F does she need all those for?"

Back when the $10 FP Qs where in the parade, I went and got my usual $10 roll came home ead the board & went back to get the rest from the 3 macines in my very small town, but if someone came behind me in line, I told them I was buying them all & they could step in front to get thier ONE! No evil; looks just shock.

so this is my story on the papers..
. . . . .


But I don't know if I'm justified in thinking she was in the wrong for being so rude to me about it.. or if I really am the 'hoard' she made me feel like. I don't think I'm a coupon 'hoard' because as I said above 14 papers is not a lot.. but wanted to see what you all thought and what you would have said to her if it had been you. maybe I really am an egotistical person for thinking/ feeling the way I do about what happened yesterday.

so this is my story on the papers..

on sunday i was a bit late in getting out - it was around 10am. It was the first time I've ever ran into other people buying the paper for coupons. They also gave me the stink eye because I was sorting out the inserts there in the store - 1 man accused me of stealing the coupons out of the papers, brought a supervisor over and everything. God, lucky for me she knows I'm there most Sundays and what I was about. And of course I was able to produce my receipt.

Another lady accused me of putting the 'stripped' papers back on the rack when I was done because apparently the last time she bought a paper a couple weeks ago it had no coupons in it. So how humiliating was that I had to explain my entire process to her. I sort the coupons while I'm in the store for different reasons:

1) most importantly, sometimes the papers are stripped or missing an insert. I don't like driving all the way back to the store to swap for another paper. So I take the papers apart while I'm still there so I can get it remedied without wasting gas.

2) this store has tables and chairs as well as air conditioning. makes it super easy to sort out my coupons before going home. Otherwise, I'll be sorting them out in the heat of the sun out of the trunk of my car.. or lug them all into our upstairs apartment when I get home. I don't care for either of those options.

and

3) I don't ever put back stripped papers once I'm done with them. I told the lady - sometimes I find a stripped paper in my batch so I give it to a cashier and pick up a new one. (They keep them there at the register so customers don't buy them unaware that there aren't the proper coupons in them.) I also told her odds around here of getting a shorted paper (missing an insert) are about 1:30 and odds of completely stripped are about 1:50, as per my personal experience.

I then accentuated to her THAT IS WHY I SORT THEM HERE IN THE STORE. Because the newspaper people aren't perfect - sometimes they miss getting coupons in a couple papers. I then thought to myself if she was going to accuse me of being the cause of other people's shorted papers, just because I was the smart person who checked them before leaving, maybe she too should grow a brain and start checking hers as well.

4) As for what I do with my leftover papers, they get thrown into the recycling bin of our building. Sometimes paper buyers will come by while I'm in the store and I offer mine to them if they do not want the coupons. I do know other apt dwellers tend to dig them out of the bin later for a free Sunday paper.


So yeah, then this lady proceeds to ask me where else I buy my papers. I say, IF this store has sold out (which is rare), I go to the other stores [here] and [there]. She goes, "Those are my stores, too. I better run quick before you buy all the papers there, too!" in an absolute jackass tone of voice.

Omg she made me so mad. For one, they are not YOUR stores - anyone is allowed to shop there and buy whatever/ how many they need. For two, they're not YOUR newspapers unless you can beat the competition to get them; even I know that. And three, I do not hoard papers from other people and it is assinine to automatically assume I clear out your favorite supplier every week. The most I ever buy is 20, and lately it's been only 5 or 10 and sometimes not even at all because they haven't been that great in a while. And I most certainly don't drive around buying out every paper source in town.

I'm sorry, but the coupons were extremely good on Sunday, especially with the kelloggs insert. I am going to do what it takes to feed my family - and I personally do not feel 14 papers is excessive. And I definitely don't think I deserved to be chewed out by some random lady over how many papers I buy for the coupons to take care of my family. The way she was acting towards me, made it out like I had 50 papers in my cart instead of the 14 I actually did have.

And don't blame me for "buying them all." The store I usually buy at used to only get in 20 - 25 papers or so. But since I've been a 'regular' on Sundays they've bumped it up to 40 - 50. So there is PLENTY for other people when I'm done getting mine. Yesterday I just happened to miss the rush for them and barely got the last ones because it was a VERY good coupon day + it was P&G week. (I usually only get the 'last ones' when I leave getting papers to later in the evening)


Basically it was totally savage getting my papers yesterday. I'm sure if I'd been loading them into my trunk instead of sorting them right there in front of the registers these people would have gotten physical over them. It also did not feel good at all to be accused of stealing and/ or hoarding coupons.

I can't help it if I got there first and bought what I needed before they did. I don't feel sorry at all that they lost out. If you know the coupons are good, get your butt out of bed and buy them. Don't wait until the last second and then get pissed off at me because I bought the last ones. Around here, it's you snooze you lose. Literally.

I just don't understand why people would get so ticked at me. 14 is not a lot, especially at this store that stocks so many more than that, it just happened to be the last 14 left yesterday. I hope this lady wasn't another SD'er.. because surely if she was she wouldn't have been so rude over her own tough luck. I know I wouldn't have acted that way towards someone else for getting the last papers. That's just how it goes sometimes, and I suck it up and just buy from Dede.

But I don't know if I'm justified in thinking she was in the wrong for being so rude to me about it.. or if I really am the 'hoard' she made me feel like. I don't think I'm a coupon 'hoard' because as I said above 14 papers is not a lot.. but wanted to see what you all thought and what you would have said to her if it had been you. maybe I really am an egotistical person for thinking/ feeling the way I do about what happened yesterday.
