  • My Mom at Kohls...

    I never go shopping for clothes. Ever. Last time I went shopping for clothes was last August when I went shoe shopping since I won $1,100 a week before in AC. So my mom asked if I needed any clothes and yea, I need new jeans. She had a coupon for Kohls so that's where we went.

    First off, I was trying some pants on and 36x34s didn't fit, too long so I needed 36x32s (I miss have a 34 waist, damn you college!). My mom kept finding new jeans in the same size after I told her I needed a different size. I especially didn't care that they look nice. I'm working in a lab all summer, any clothes I wear will probably get ruined.

    Then when we got to the cashier, my mom suddenly had three coupons for $10 off any purchase. As I suspected, it's one coupon per purchase which my mom refused to accept. The cashier turned to her manager which just repeated the policy. Not good enough for my mom. She bought a pack of socks with one coupon, had me buy one pair of jeans with another coupon, and then she went to another register to buy the other pair of jeans with the third coupon. Then when we were leaving she was giving me crap for being embarrassed. Sorry I follow the rules, Mom.

    To add insult to injury, my mom has been calling everyone in the family to gossip about how she beat the system and I was embarrassed by her. Yes, I am embarrassed. I'm embarrassed my 50 year old mother who was born and has lived her the entire time refuses to read and follow rules like a kindergartner can do.

      I know what you mean. I've worked retail and know how I can "play" the system with few repercussions. Yet I'm utterly embarrassed and can't bring myself to do it. I have trouble asking for a 10% discount on damaged items. I know the store will do it, but I just can't ask.

        Some people have absolutely no shame.

        Slight threadjack, when I was working at the grocery store (and these coupons are the same ones who got me suspended with that one foodstamp woman), we had coupons that you could only use one coupon per item per purchase. There were 4 items that the coupons were good for, so you could have all 4 items, but that's IT. One of each, not 4 of one, not 8, not 12, not 32, not 40.

        It didn't stop people from using their shameless skills. One family of two parents and 4 or 5 kids each had their own cart and each got the 4 items (and one or two of those kids were too small to have their own cart).....one guy came by with all 4, left, came back in and did it again with more coupons, left, came back in wearing a different COAT and did it again.....actually, several people did the leave, come back, leave, come back routine.

        What the hell was so worth scamming the system for? 12 packs of soda, chips, eggs, and bread.

        My effing gosh.
