This week's drugstore shopping 11/17/24

Hi everyone

It's been a crazy week. We had a death in the family at the beginning of the week, I went to the dreaded dentist and it's that busy time of the year. I had to go drugstore shopping, because I had a pile of rewards expiring. Here's what I did

Favorite store 😂 Y'all know what that means by now 😊

The Trident Q keeps getting rejected (it's happening nationwide), so the cashier manually entered it. I especially bought more Trident to get rid of the Qs, but it printed new ones. 

Just as I was about the leave the store, I realised that I didn't get any RRs for Aussie. So I got the manager and she added $6 WC to my account. I just showed her both receipts and she added everything to one account. No complaints from me, cause she added it to my account that's low on WC. 

Wags round 2. Before I went out, I told BF that I didn't know how long I was gonna be, because I'm stopping at my favorite store first. He already knows how that goes 😂

Wait for it!...

I had 2 Dentyne in this transaction too, because I want to get rid of these Qs. I already knew that the register would reject that Q, but I had a very stubborn cashier who refused to manually enter the  amount. Nope, she was gonna redo the whole transaction. Doesn't matter that I explained that it's happening at all stores and that the price matches the coupon value. By now the CAT machine had already printed RRs for the transaction. So she rescans everything, scans the Trident Q too, hits enter and whaddya know, it gets rejected again. Come on girl. I just explained the whole thing to you. Just enter the amount. The product even matches the pic on the Q. Nuh uh, she was gonna cancel the transaction AGAIN and redo it. The CAT machine just keeps printing and I told her to just exclude the gum and return the Q. So the 3rd transaction looked like the one above. So I'm over there wondering how she's gonna handle all those RRs, since she was too stubborn to enter the Q. Imagine my surprise when she handed me all the RRs. I politely thanked her and did my 2nd transaction. I actually didn't know that it printed more Gum RRs too, until I got home and checked everything. So her stubborness earned me an extra $18. Whoo-hoo! Compensation for all my time she wasted 😂
