So some K-marts are having unlimited double coupons this week. I checked the website for the store hours (said till 10pm during the week) and called my closest store to verify that they were participating.
Since the store hours were on the website, I didn't think to ask when I called.
I march my merry ass over there and pull into the lot at 8:55pm. I've got my coupons in tow, which I've painstakingly and lovingly sorted. (Yeah, I know...but I try not to be sucky about them
)
As I'm walking up, I notice two cart pushers hauling ass, gathering carts and that the lot is kinda empty. Another guy is walking up at the same time as me, hauling a big-assed box, clearly for a return.
I see the store hours posted on the door as 9pm. "Shit!" I exclaimed. I mainly was saying it to myself, but I think I was kinda loud. Dude with the box glances over at me and I apologized because, hey - ya never know how people will take language. I said "Oh, sorry..I thought they were open until 10pm."
As I was turning around heading back to my car he said "It's only 8:57". I stopped in my tracks. He was almost to the door when I yelled out "Yeah, but I have a little CONSIDERATION for the people working in there, and won't walk in a store MINUTES before close."
"Bitch", he muttered, loud enough for me to hear.
I just laughed. The cart pusher shook his head and gave me a grateful look. I smiled at him and said "Hey, I know how it feels. That return is probably gonna take at least 10 minutes, or more if he's doing a freaking exchange. Rude ass!" He nearly collapsed in laughter.
Poor kid looked like he was having a shitty day, and I'm glad I could make him laugh.
People are buttheads.
