Last night I went to one of the big 3 stores here that is having a mega meat sale. They run this sale about every 3-4 months, sometimes longer. It's a good deal and I tend to stock up. I've had a few issues and last night was the first time I didn't have a problem with getting the amount I picked out.
However, I did encounter the sucky in the checkout line. It seemed that the lady ahead of me bought yogurt and pointed out that it didn't ring up at the sale price. The checker called back to dairy; no answer. A manager happened to walk by and offered to check, as the computers have been known to not get the right price. It happens. Turns out, it was the Lite yogurt on sale, not the regular. However, this woman was not happy. She wanted the yogurt at the sale price and it seemed like she wasn't going to leave until she got it. While I was standing there, I happened to see the price of the yogurt - 79 cents. The sale was 10 for $6. Quick math says that she is paying $7.90 for the regular yogurt, so it's just a $1.90 more.
Me, I'd have let it go, my fault for not paying attention, life goes on. Oh no. She was arguing with the checker and the manager was heading back up. I said to a woman behind me "Gee, I'd like to get out of here before Christmas" to which she laughed. Meanwhile, the woman is getting louder and louder. I was getting a wee bit irritated and I had a couple of dollars in my wallet. Just then, the manager came back and he was trying to calm the woman down. I pulled out the two singles I had and said "Look lady, here's two dollars. I'll pay for the difference if it gets out out of here any faster" or something like that. I just wanted to get home as I was tired.
The checker is trying not to laugh, the manager turns to the woman and tells her to take the offer and get out. The woman gave me, the checker and the manager a cat-butt face, paid and left in a hurry. I gave the two dollars to the checker to buy herself a nice drink or something on her break.
