So, I just did leetle Rite Aid shops. Which was a good thing, too, because, first thing, it didn't go well at all.
I went to a Rite Aid I'd not had trouble shopping at before, the same on where the girl worked so hard to help me with the Listerine Zero last week. I don't know what happened between a few days ago and today, but it was a whole different story.
First she wouldn't let me use three of the coupon savings booklet $2.00 Olay, "Limit one per customer", bah.
Stunk because I was planning on overage and bought some junk I didn't need to cover it, which I ended up paying with +UP money, bah.
I didn't argue it, because I always know using multiple of the RA coupons is YMMV, but I was disappointed.
But then it was the arguement with the Free Olay Eye Roller coupon. I wrote $19.99 on the coupon; usually they would have just entered it, no question. But this time she argues that it rang up $17.59. I explained that it was showing $17.59 now, but when she hit total, the BOGO sale would override the 20% discount, so it would ring up $21.99.
Since I obviously have LIAR! tattoo'ed across my forehead, she calls the Shift Supervisor out there. I explained to her that although it says $17.59 at this point, the BOGO sale will override the 20% discount and it will ring up $21.99, but the coupon limit is $19.99. So she says, well they can only enter $19.99 then. Um...ok.
But then the cashier says, no, it's ringing up $17.59 with her 20% discount. Then the SS says, well, you can only enter $17.59 then.
I didn't argue further, let them do what they insisted on doing, paid, and then when I got my reciept I showed them it rang up $21.99, and told them they ripped me off two-bucks from my coupon.
So, the way they chose to fix it was to price modify the next eye roller down by $2.00. I didn't realize it at the time, but when they did that, it apparently made that price better than the BOGO sale, and the 20% discount stuck, making it $15.59. They took off $15.59 for the freebie coupon, however, my moisturizer item that was supposed to ring up 50% off, didn't. It rang up full price, then the 2nd moiturizer rang up 50% off, instead of 20% off.
Dumbasses.

Next I went to a RA where the SM is always a jerk and I know up front my mileage ain't gonna vary there, which is why they rarely get my business, and only a little bit of it when I for go looking for something that is probably oos at the better stores.
I explained to him about the eye roller going to ring up at $21.99; he didn't believe me, either, but at least had sense enough to print out the pre-receipt thing that showed him the prices.
