  • Coupon Suckiness and More

    Tonight was a busy night.

    Sucky Coupon Hag
    I was waiting to take over a register earlier tonight and the transaction was going okay until the woman pulled a coupon for a free thing of dog food. The associate printed out a copy of what had been scanned looking for the price of the item. Evidently, it had printed out under a weird name and she couldn't find it. The associate goes to find a CSM.

    I had the idea that maybe the woman could look in a bag or two that was on top to see if the dog food was in one of them. She glared at me and told me she wasn't going to go through all of her bags for a little cup of dog food. I'm then stuck getting glares from her as she bitches about how hot it is in the store. How she feels like she's having hot flashes or something and why can't the store be any cooler. For the most part ignore her. I'd nod at the appropriate parts and smiled in a fashion that falsely said "I feel your pain."

    The associate came back over from getting a CSM and she starts going through a bag. She found the dog food in about 3 seconds, scanned it to see the price ($1.50), voided the scan, and then redid the coupon. So pretty much this woman wasted about 8-10 minutes over one coupon that got a grand total of $1.50 off her $100+ transaction because she didn't feel like checking the bags on top of her cart.


    Two Guys and a Test

    This isn't sucky just funny. I was cutting through Pharmacy when I passed two guys looking at pregnancy tests.

    G1: Which one should I get her?
    G2: Get the three pack. At least one has to come out right.
    G1: Yeah, true.

    No, clue if he did in fact buy the three pack, but I got a giggle out of the conversation anyway.

    It's disturbing, but the Dollarama chain dollar stores here sell pregnancy tests.
    Just a buck a pop.

      I have a friend who swears that the cheap one dollar pregnancy tests that are sold at the Food for Less by my house are the most accurate pregnancy tests around. They take about 10 minutes to tell you if you've been knocked up or not, evidently her doctor swears by them.

        How many pregnancy tests is your friend taking that she has a favourite?
        Unless she's trying to get pregnant then it makes perfect sense.

          She has to take one a month because some of the medicines she takes makes the birth control pill weaker than it should be. Her doctor wants her to do it whether she is active or not.

            This always fustrates me. When I was suposed to have moved to japan they forced us to take pregnancy tests before we were vacinated. Which is understandable...until they made the women who had hysterectomies and were medicly steril take them. Protical is protical I guess. But as funny as that conversation was to over hear part of me kind of hopes those guys dont breed!
