Hateful Food Lion Oh How I Hate Thee!

** Warning if you are not interested in a long rant....move along....these are not the droids you are looking for**

We all have our coupon crosses to bear.  For me it is and has always been Hateful Food Lion

Hubby is out of town and I go out of town for work on Thursday morning.  I needed to get some last minute items at Safeway so I pack the boy and off we go.  As I said before I love my only child but shopping with him makes shopping very difficult.

Safeway: Got 4 more Coke Products and 4 Go-Gurts.  My son is on heavy antibiotics and we are going through Go-Gurt like water - which is a good thing.

Then I decided last minute to pull in to Food Lion.  It was a bad idea.  I did not print the FLIP coupons before going - another bad idea.  My FLIP coupons were  completely different.  There was a $4.00 off produce when you purchase $20 or more.  So I had an idea - buy 20 cans of beans (I made chili tonight a realized I only had 1 can left in my stockpile-oh no!) and get the Super Sale Catalina and some free fruit.  Plus I had (2) $10 gift cards to offset the initial price
I got bananas and apples
8 cans of Progresso (I can finally unload my (4) $1/1 coupons and add (2) .50/2)
20 cans of beans
The bill so far is $25 and change
FIRST:  I go to put in my FL telephone number and the cashier informs that me that for my convenience he has entered his card and the savings have been taken off.  I indicate that while I appreciate him using HIS card I needed MY card in the systems for SavingsStar and UPromise.  He does some sort of magic spell and tells me my FL number is in there.  I did not believe him but can't prove it until I get home and see what is in the computer
NEXT he won't take the $4 produce coupon because he says I have to spend $20 on produce.  I read the coupon to him.  He would NOT budge.  My kid is climbing everything like a crazy monkey at this point which is understandable because it is 9pm at night so I tell him to take all the fruit off.  He is having trouble re-weighing things, the line behind me is building up but at this point I just don't give a flying shiz-buckets.  He was taking off that fruit since he would not budge on the FLIP coupon.
NEXT he does not scan all my coupons.  Really dude, I have (6) coupons!  How hard can it be?
NEXT he "forgets" to hand me my $5.00 Super Sale Catalina.  Come on!
NEXT I get home and see that MY FL Card was never entered, that son of a biscuit entered his own card and it stayed in the system so no Savings Star for me
SO tomorrow I get to fight and return some items to Hateful Food Lion.  Yippie Ky Yeah - Oh What Fun....not!
