Went to Target today, bought a 6 gallon wet/dry ShopVac for $8.99.

[texanwitch]

When I checked out the amount for everything I bought was $37 something.

I ask the checkout clerk if the amount was correct because the ShopVac alone was more then $37.

She checked and and said yes the amount was correct, I asked again are you sure.

Yes, she says the ShopVac's price was $8.99.

At this point she was getting a littled pissed at me for holding up long line of customers.

So I checked out and went to the return desk to check the price and the price was the same.

I left the store with my new ShopVac for $8.99, I did try to do the right thing.

Today was a strange day.

1. You're a good person. My wife and I have a story about a Tassimo...

...coffee machine we "bought" - yes, we did take it to the counter - but I'm afraid, we may not have been as good as you....

:yoiks:

2. The whole expience was just strange.

Somebody didn't program the Target computer right, and the clerks didn't care.

3. I bought Tempurpedic neck pillows for 25 bucks

when I knew the price was 100 bucks :P

the registers were wrong for some reason, and my mom and I have nice pillows :P

[texanwitch]

4. Yes you do have nice pillows.

I have been looking for new pillows.

I have homemade pillows out of memory foam, they are working for now.

You got a good deal.

5. My experience: Target does not give a shit, their employees dont either.

[texanwitch]

6. You are correct.

The clerks didn't give a damn, but I had to try.

Anybody need a new ShopVac, you know where to go.

8. Can you cast a spell on it to control toddlers with permanent ink sharpies?

Heh. Just messing with you. Nothing will make my daughter quit scribbling on everything she sees.

7. Twice I've gone to my boss because my paycheck had too many hours in it

Once it was fixed on the next one. The second time him and I went back and forth over it for like 15 minutes until I finally gave up and got convinced.

To this day I think I got ten hours too many in my paycheck. But the boss was convinced it was right!

:shrug:

At least I've never been shorted.

[texanwitch]

9. Well, you did try.

That is all anybody can do.

I believe that what goes around comes around so I try to do the right things.

[krispos42]

10. Tried damn hard, actually!

But after ten or fifteen minutes... well, hell, it's an error in my favor!

Now if it was going the other way... <grrr>

:-)

[texanwitch]

11. I did the same thing with the clerks.

I finally just said OK.

I have worked retail in the past so I knew I was dealing with bored I don't give a damn clerks.

I came home and cleaned all the cars with the shop vac, this new one is better then the old one.

[krispos42]

12. Pick up one for me tomorrow. I'll send you a check!

:rofl:

[texanwitch]

13. Sure thing.

The only bad thing is that I kept finding stuff that needed cleaning.

I even cleaned the furniture, this new little machine has power.

:rofl:
