I'm not the type that will put up a fight, I'd probably just choose not to purchase them and avoid any hassle. But I have a friend who would wait and speak with the manager if it became necessary.

Sometimes I will continue with the purchase, sometimes not, depending on the price, etc. I used to work in retail, so I can relate to the challenges there are. I try and be as polite and kind about it as possible, even if the staff is rude (which happens rarely). There's nothing wrong with asking and being firm about something in a nice way, you know? It's often not their fault that there is a mix up, plus I want to be a good witness wherever I go. I had a friend remind me once that we might be the only representation of Jesus someone sees in a day. I aim to act accordingly, although some days I know I do better than others. :)Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566879757638048475.post-84396762998901431732012-05-14T05:11:35.126-07:002012-05-14T05:11:35.126-07:00I do get a little miffed when I buy something spec...I do get a little miffed when I buy something specifically because it's "on sale". I constantly watch the register when I'm checking out. Soemtimes things ARE on sale but the register doesn't pick it up and it has to be keyed in manually. THAT happens to be all the time, so I do speak up. :)Jennifer Shirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970585847385511795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566879757638048475.post-89842016767829849332012-05-12T19:00:36.264-07:002012-05-12T19:00:36.264-07:00Hi Nancy,

If the sign is there, they're supposed to honor it. If they refuse, I don't purchase the item. <br /><br />This is one of the hazards of bargain hunting/couponing. I realize many of the store policies are complicated and cashiers are just trying to do their job.Susan J.

I hope I wouldn't come across nasty :)<br /><br />(Now that I think about it, the price of cards is such that I probably wouldn't have been picking them out there in the first place....If I don't make a card, I usually try to find a nice one at Dollar General.)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.com
