On the blogs that I frequent about saving money and using coupons, I’ve heard about some cashiers being rude about people saving money, but I didn’t expect to experience that for some reason. But today I really did! At Walgreens, I saved $23, paid $26, but got $18 back to use on my next purchase…so basically I got approximately $50 worth of stuff for about $8. I was pretty thrilled, but the cashier was not! As soon as she saw all the Register Rewards start printing out, she got this big scowl on her face and then when I got out to the car, I realized she didn’t even give me my change back! It was only about 50 cents and it wasn’t worth getting the kids out of the car and going back in, but it kind of ticked me off that she took advantage of me being busy with two fussy kids to not give me my change! I guess it’s possible she forgot, but with that scowl on her face, I’m guessing it wasn’t an accident. I’m not sure why she was upset, either…it’s not like it’s her money and it’s going to come out of her paycheck or something. Oh well…I’m still happy that I got such a great deal, even though I had to deal with her!

Angel – Register Rewards are the $$ to use on my next purchase. You get them when you buy certain items and the items are different every week (they’re advertised in their store circular).

I didn’t realize people who used coupons were treated that way by some people at the register. That kind of confuses me as to why they would treat you badly. It’s like you said, it’s not like it’s coming out of their pocket.

what are the register rewards? Never heard of that.
Mirena didn’t hurt that bad. It helps to get it right after your 6 wk checkup because the pain isn’t so bad. It does make you feel like your going to pass out though for a few minutes after they put it in you. But the pain only last for about 5 minutes. If I can do, you can! Haha. I’m happy I got it done though. One less thing i have to worry about.
