  • They are arguing over how much again?

    One of the joys of working on sundays is having to deal with Price Changes. Hanging up a ton of tags in the calm of the early morning can be fun, but the Signs on the displays often do not go up til almost 8 or 9 after the Sign gal gets there.

    One morning we get a price check on "store brand" Grands Biscuits. I call the price what the tag said which was 3/2.98 (this was a while back) The checker calls me on the intercom and she asks if they are on display somewhere because they are claiming the price is 2/1.98.

    I then ask how many cans they have. the answer is 6. new price in my head is 5.96, old price is 5.94

    I then ask the checker, let me guess this straight, they are auguing over 2 CENTS between 6 cans?

    She says "Yes, they are"

    I then ask the checker if she has any change in her pocket, She says yes. I tell her to give them 2 pennies and I will pay her back. She Says OK.


    The main reason I think they were bitching was because one of the other 2 stores in the greater STL area had a deal that if something rang up wrong they would get it free. but still less then half a cent a CAN for STORE BRAND PRODUCT???????

      Those of us in and around St. Louis should get together and get drunk. I vote near delmar so I can just walk home.
      How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?

            I know my home town has gone down hill but that is just ridiculous.

            I grew up in South St. Louis near Carondelet Park and Cleveland Highschool

            I guess I will have to have extra SC repellant with me when I go back for vacation in Jan.

              I also highly suspect a case of "But it's the PRINCIPLE!" with these winners.

                            I had one guy argue over 1 cent. Our store had something on sale for 3.00, the store across the street 2.99. He demanded me I give to to hm for 2.99. Never got it.

                              I used to live in Columbia Mo and am now trapped in the toilet bowl of Texas waiting for a way to escape.

                              Where in Texas are you trapped?
