Unabridged version: I got all these items in my cart; however, I miss calculated and my total was -.54 cents. This negative number caused an immediate panic at Hateful Food Lion. I felt like a shoplifter because every manager within a 100 mile radius swooped in within a seconds. I told in rhetoric and in unison by the managers that Food Lion does not give money back. I never asked for money back there was an automatic assumption. Finally I was able to get a word in and I politely asked if I could get this 69cents Hershey candy bar located at the register check out so get the balance could get in the the positive. I stood there for a few minutes while the managers discussed and agreed I could get one candy bar. Unfortunately that request exasperated the situation and locked down the transaction. Mangers were taking off and adding coupons left and right. Going through my 2 bags as if they were searching for a bomb. You see the picture...there is not a lot of anything to really look for. after 30+ minutes I finally was able to get a word in and asked, "Can we just call this a wash...either with or without the candy bar, please? After another long debate I was allowed to leave the store with everything in the cart plus the candy bar. Holy Moly! There is a good and valid reason I call this store "Hateful Food Lion."
Good grief!
ReplyDeleteI hate when you work so hard to get the deals and then you end up in the negative and you feel like a robber! It is always hard when you get meat because it isn't like those are on sale for a certain price that you can add up before you get to the store. I always have a problem when they turn their own promotion into an issue! They should give out gift cards so it isn't so complicated to use. I hope that you don't have this problem for your other promotions! Good luck.
