Anuolyiudetw245tfgthjklme!!!!!!! GAH!

Had a woman come in to waste my time tonight. On a busy night. And behind her was a HUGE line of people. Of course.

First, "Grepsi" 12 packs are on sale this week at Aid of Rite, 3 for $10.98 with "Healthiness +" card, plus a free bag of "Dostitos" chips. Good deal, right?

She gets "Cocaine Cola" products.

"Oh, um, brb then!"

Then she forgets the chips.

Then she wants to pay her food with foodstamps and her cigarettes seperately, which is fine, I tell her so long as she puts the food card through first I can do that.

She puts her DEBIT card through first.

I clear it, have her slide the Food card.

It declined.

"How much do you have?"

"Um...$12 something on food..."

I run the balance check. She had $1.90 on Food, $12.61 on cash. I tell her this.

"Oh, um. Ok. I'll put it all on debit, then."

That gets declined.

"Oh, um, I have cash."

Dhjfhoufrhiugreiuvj!!!!!!! YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE?!? RAGH!!!

Bonus: The Cutest Thing!

I had a little girl tonight (4 years old) who wanted to know what time we closed at night. I told her we don't. I get to go home and eat ice cream and sleep. There's other people who come in and work during the night, and we're open all night, even ad midnight! Little girl was amazed.

And thank god for that, right?

I find it fascinating that a card called "Healthiness+" gets you a discount on soda and chips.

Indeed. Ice cream and sleep are good for what ails you when you deal with SCs.

Good point! Let me guess, it also gets you a discount on cigarettes and booze?

Especially if it's chocolate ice cream, preferably soy milk or coconut. Oddly, I'm developing a taste for those.

WRONG! It does not get you discounts on those, nor tobacco, liquor, money orders, money transfers, "Eastern Union", gift cards, phone cards or prescriptions.

"Healthiness +" is a points based program, you accrue points for every dollar you spend towards discounts, including three 10% off shopping passes and permanent discounts of 10% and 20% off at 500 and 1,000 points respectively. If you earn 1,000 points in a given year, then you keep that 20% for the year following. But you must earn 1,000 points again the year after to get your 20% discount back. You get 25 points per prescription, but no discount, except where prohibited by law and except for "Smedicaid" and "Smedicare" and other government funded prescription programs. You don't get any points for the other items I mentioned; however, if you have a "Healthiness +" card, I MUST scan it or I WILL be penalized for having a low customer usage rate.

Amen to that! When I go to either of the 2 grocery stores that I have cards for, even when I'm buying something that clearly doesn't qualify for discounts/points, I always give the cashier my card. Some of them say "you don't get points for what you're buying" & I nod, and wonder ... do they even realize that their scanning of cards is being monitored???
