Had that experience using gift cards and coupons at a Service Merchandise in NH when I was buying a stereo for me and my new DH - the little girl at the register could not figure out what 10% off was! Using her computerized cash register, a calculator or me and my mom telling her what it was. 10%, not some weird funky number like 44.765%, but 10%. I thought I was going to have to talk my mom down from strangling this chick - and we won't even get into how she rang in the gift cards - or attempted to....

I do this every so often and get LOTS of free meals. We don't have a lot of $ either, and I still get to go out for steak every so often on somebody else's dime just for completing their questionnaire. When I actually have the time, I'll send you a few of my companies and see what they have in your area. Forget surveys, it’s time for me to tell you about Mystery Shopping.

Had my 5 off 15 coupons in the visor, as well as a $2 CVS coupon for Zantac from last visit and a $3 real Zantac coupon , and $5 ECB. Got the $24 Zantac for $12 and a $5 ECB on the receipt. Cashier took them all, but I know one of my CVS visits will get me in trouble, too much stuff for too little money. We'll see. Good story, Joe I ran into a CVS for Zantac for the Missus.

Rather than get worked up about it I would have just let it go after the first attempt to fix it. And seriously - I am a very honest person. I just figure that it is not my job to fix their errors - I try one time, if it doesn't work out after that - I consider it compensation for aggravation. Can't wait to hear about your BMW and Jeep friends. Honestly Min – if the goober kept ringing up $4 then it is not your fault that they hire incompetents.
