Transaction #2 didn't go as well. 
First of all I was trying to use the CVS Pharmacy Glade coupons stacked with the Glade mfr. coupons. I know the CVS coupons are actually mfr. coupons, however, CVS ticks me off when they wouldn't let me use a Kroger catalina, which is also actually a mfr. coupon, because they say it is a Kroger coupon.  So if that one is a Store coupon, then by golly so is the CVS one.
I knew and was prepared for maybe not being able to use it, so I only really offered a token arguement when it beeped and he said he couldn't use it.

However, I finally remembered to buy my Green Bag Tag. It was sitting on the counter right where I check out, right in my line of vision, rather than off to the side jumbled up with a bunch of other stuff I barely pay attention to.
At the end of checking out, he shoved my stuff across the counter at me, and says he can't give me a bag because I bought the bag tag! 
The stupid tag didn't come with a bag, nor does the sign say (I don't think it said?) "Bring a bag to carry your crap before you buy this tag!"

I'm PMSing this week, and that.just.really.flew.all.at.me.  I took it pretty hard, lol. 
I didn't say anything to the guy, though. I'm pretty sure he was just doing what he was told. But I was ticked.
Alot of people complain about Walgreens, and loooooove CVS, but I am the opposite.

I am with you - I have bad luck at CVS and LOOOOOVE Wags. I would have probably gone off on him and told him to show me where it said I couldn't have a bag!!! Good Grief!! The only thing is you can't SCAN it if you take a disposable bag- you can only scan it if you use a reuseable bag- oooh tht would have made me mad.

See I didn't even know that, about you can't scan it when you have a disposable bag, or don't have a reusable bag.
But he scanned it without telling me anything about it, knowing good and well I wasn't carrying a reusable bag, or any bag at all, and I was just buying the thing.

They're supposed to scan it if you have a reusable bag, or if you don't take a bag at all, but to not give you a bag. What an idiot.
