A little story/ SDM cashier rant!

[Wishbonelove]

I went to a few different places yesterday trying to use up some of my coupons before they expire. When I was in the line-up at SDM, there was this severely challenged man in front of me, purchasing m&m's and and a Life brand coke. The cashier rang up his two items and he was watching very closely to see how much it would come to. She said "that's $2.26" in a horribly rude tone. The poor man started taking out all kinds of pennies and dimes and nickels, and started to count them out, and then finally said "$2.26, is that right?" The cashier shot him a dirty look, and finally said yes the m&ms were so and so and the coke was so and so. The cashier was being a total b***c (sorry for the language!), and you could tell that the man didn't want to push her buttons. Regardless, he pointed out to her that the m&m's were 76 cents from the clearance bin. She let out a HUGE sigh and went and looked - sure enough - 76 cents! She went back and adjusted the price to 76 cents. I was standing behind him the whole time, and heard the whole thing, so with my SC knowledge I decided to help the man out. I said "Excuse me, not that it's any of my business, but if something rings in at the wrong price, isn't it free?" In the end after a few more rude remarks and rude looks, she adjusted the price to $0.01..?
If she wasn't so rude to the poor obviously challenged man, I most likely wouldn't have said anything, but I felt like he deserved it for putting up with her! (sorry for the long story, I just felt like it needed to be posted!)

A very big Bouquet to you! I admire people who stand up for those who can't and a big pile of poop to the cashier. Don't you just love it when you can catch someone like that when they are wrong.
I know I do. Good for you

Something similar happened to me a couple of weeks ago except it was with an elderly woman who was shall we say a bit confused. The cashiers were actually glancing back and forth to each other rolling eyes among other rude faces so when it was my turn after about 10 minutes I looked at her and said that remember some day that might be you and she shut up pretty fast.

I hate to highjack your thread but this is such a pet peeve of mine, abuse, rudeness and the disdain that younger (and some older)people show towards the elderly or "challenged".

Man I have so many stories about this but let's just say I get particularly annoyed at young people who do this and am not silent about it.

Good on you for helping out that man.

Good for you for helping that man! Thumbs up for you! Some cashiers are just so rude!

[courtreporter]

That is great. I am so happy you did that. I would have done the same thing.

And, Patty, I luv ya, that is exactly the same comment I would have made. It really irks me when someone screws around with the elderly or the challenged.

Way to help out!!! Good for him for watching the prices.

I applaud you!

Awesome! Wonderful! And HUGS to you!!!!!!!!! What a great person you are, to stand up for someone being treated like a second class citizen because they are a bit different. Good for you for stepping in... not everyone does that and I'll bet that man didn't have a clue what you were talking about... but you know... it matters. In the end, it mattered and I'm so happy that you did that!

Aw! I love sharing the coupon and the smart shopper love! Tonight I saw a woman buying SKinny Cow ice cream @ Save on and I stopped her and gave her one of the coupons that I had picked up @ Safeway! She was ecstatic! (:

I love this story...good for you! I bet those M&Ms tasted all that sweeter for that man...

[Babycakes]

That is the best scop brag ever!

[tidytaurus]

Good job on this one. Who knows, maybe the cashier learned a lesson from you that day.
