Thread: Coupon issues

lol! I'm more passive really, like when that cashier implied that I'm poor I was burning with anger but I'm such a pansy I couldn't do anything about it. Ignorance infuriates me, and the sad thing is, people are becoming more and more that way. Or maybe it's the area I live in. My friend & I were discussing this yesterday, how when we both lived in different areas people weren't flat out rude and mean as they are here.

She went to the laundry mat, someone wanted to share her table, or so she though, to fold their clothes on. She said "I'm sorry let me move my stuff so you can put your down" and smiled politely. She turned around to get her stuff out of the dryer and here's things falling to the floor. This girl literally had taken her arm and cleared off my friend clothes, laundry basket, detergent onto the floor and stood there with this smirk on her face. The girls mother of course did nothing. My friend said she just gathered her stuff quickly and left as fast as she could.

I was coming home from work Friday and got called a 'stupid *itch' amongst other obscenities because I stopped, with my turn signal on, to turn into my driveway. The lady was mad because she had to brake and wait for me to turn. Mind you I had to wait for traffic to clear before I myself could turn. It just amazes me.

I've thought very seriously about moving out to East Texas, population 500 in my favorite town. Maybe I'm just too soft hearted for the city? Maybe people were always this cruel and it's not something new?

Anyway, I'm wayyyy off the subject of couponing. Sorry for the vent.

Penny, you made my day. You express yourself beautifully and I understand your anger. I'll bet Albertson's has a website with email. I'd be sending an email voicing your digust. (I have done it several times with different stores or resturants) I too am usually stun over the rudeness these days. I think what we are seeing are people who aren't used to struggling trying to get by. That cashier may never had to work until recently and hasn't gotten over looking down at people for what she believes is stupid. The country is in turmoil and so are many of the people. We all learned how to get by early on, so we still have grace. lol. Coupon away sister and smile at them.

Wow, I can't believe that this kind of attitude toward coupon users exist. Maybe I am not seeing it since I choose to live in a happy bubble but I am always excited when i use coupons since for me it's like a game. When I get to the checkout stand I say to the cashier, "It's time for the Ralph's limbo, how low can my price go!" and they get kinda excited too, I guess it's a part of their customer service. I don't even shop at Albertson's anymore since they don't do double coupons. I have never had anyone give attitude, not even the customers behind me since they are also interested to see how much money I save and ask about hints and tips. The store knows that thye are going to get money from coupon users one way or another, people that have coupons spends more since they save more and the store gets compensated for the coupon price anyway. Those rude people need to go back to sensitivity training.

Thank you Darcel!
I think that sensitivity training should be ordered by police. Like they need to have courtesy officers and if you're a tart you get sentenced to a week in the 'learn to have manners' class. LOL!! Sorry, I'm weirdo.
