Cashiers- The Good, the Bad and the Confused

I've had three different couponing experiences this week. I have to give a nice word to my CVS cashier, who lined everything up the way I wanted it and rang all my coupons through, who always has a little excitement in his voice as he tells me how many ECBs I've earned, who doesn't flinch when I say I have multiple transactions, who points out to me when I am losing some ECB money because it is a few cents over what I am purchasing. You rock, Mr. Nice Guy!

Now, the cashier I will be avoiding from now on at Publix, who acts like I am stealing by using coupons, no good word for you. And each time I've been in your line and you've gone through my coupons over and over, trying to find a reason to not let me use it, not only have you caused a huge line in the store, you've forgotten to scan at least one of my coupons. You owe me .55 this week.

And finally, to the young man at Target who tried to tell me I couldn't use a coupon because I hadn't bought the right kind of Tide and then tried to tell me I couldn't use it because it was a trial size, you need to work on your reading skills because it says "any size of Tide" and the reason the cash register beeps about it is because the coupon is actually for more than the product is priced. Since your store will be redeeming the coupon for the face value, I expect to also receive the face value, even if it is one penny more than the price.

So there it is folks, the good, the bad and the confused.
