So this woman comes in tonight and picks up a bottle of knock-off Polo body mist. She brings it to the register. I don't know exactly what transpired at that point, but I got called - with the code that says "I can't help this person and I'm about to lose it, you take it!" You know that code? 
So I go over there and say how can I help you? She proceeds to tell me that her friend bought this same body mist "TODAY! IN THIS STORE" (oh man, she's yelling already) "AND SHE GOT IT BUY ONE GET ONE FREE"!!!!!!!!!! eleventy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so let me go look at the tag, there's no sale on that item. I go back. "It's not on sale at this time. Did your friend use a coupon?" NOOOO Okay, did she use a rain check? NOOOO
Alrighty then.... She repeats and repeats "My friend got it for buy one get one free!!!!"
I say: well, I'm not sure how that happened. Are you sure she didn't use a coupon or a rain check? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO she didn''t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here comes the kicker: Now keep in mind that this woman doesn't have anything backing her up, other than her word that her "friend" told her this story. She says: "If I come back here tomorrow with her (meaning the friend)'s receipt, will you price match it?"
Uh oh Spidey sense is tingling. "Ma'am we don't price match, not competitors". She SCREAMS "It's not a competitor, it's your store TODAY". So I say, if you bring the receipt in tomorrow, I will look at it, but I cannot promise anything until I see it. She seems satisfied with that.
How much you wanna bet: A. She doesn't come back tomorrow. B. She comes back and brings the receipt to shove in my face. andddddd C. It's from "the other drugstore across the street" ???????????????
