My mom was at the grocery store today. Sadly, I missed this one, due to a nasty cold, but my mom came home saying "Here's something for your message board."
So she was in line behind another woman who was trying to cash in a rebate check for Similac. I'm not sure how rebates really work, but apparently she got this check somewhere and it was supposed to be turned in for $40 worth of similac baby formula.
The only problem? She didn't have the check. She did have the piece of paper that had been attached to the check, announcing that she received a check for similac. She tried to use the paper to get the baby formula, but the cashier wouldn't do it, because she needed the check. The woman kept going "You don't need the check, you can just use that!" and getting madder each time.
A supervisor came over and explained that they needed the check, rinse and repeat. A manager finally came over and tried to calmly explain that they needed the check to send to the Similac company, who would then send them money, and if they just took the paper they would be losing money.
The woman finally grabbed the paper out of the cashier's hand, left everything on the counter, stormed out of the till, and SHOVED her cart right into a display of wine bottles. It was a miracle they didn't break. After this, my mom said something sympathetic to the cashier about what a bitch she was and the cashier said "I can see why she buys formula, her milk must be sour!"
I'm guessing the woman already spent the check some other time, found the paper and decided to see if she could get something more out of it. I feel sorry for her baby.
