My First Brag/Rant - SpinBrush

I don't usually brag about my purchase, but I know this is the only place I can brag about it.

I went to W-mart today after work.

After reading on here about they don't scan in right.

I found some on the shelf that says 8.88, but a BIG display of it on the end of the aisle that says 7.88.

I used the self scan: SCORE 8.88 ! Opportunity for Scanning code of practise

So I grabbed 3, because I have 2 coupons and I know I will get one for free.

I went to the aisle where there's a manager close by.

The toothbrush scanned in for 8.88, I told the cashier. She asked the manager, then she said

(You wont believe it)

YEAH BUT IT SCAN IN 8.88!

I told her, its 7.88 on the shelf! I even walked her there to show her and tell her its advertise it in their flyers!

Then I said, by scanning code of practise I got one for free.
She said, NO I ADJUSTED THE PRICE.

Then I explain to her what SCOP is.
She then turned to her manager, who has NO CLUE.
(Can you believe that?)

Then she asked another manager, who TAUGHT Her how to do that.
(Gosh)

Then I used the other 2 coupons, she was like "No, only 1 /purchase

I said NO! I am buying 3 products, 1 Free, the other 2 I am using 2 different coupons!

Then she asked the manager, the manager said yes. The cashier still didn't wan to put it through and ask the other manager.

Finally I walked out with 11.sth for 3 set of spinbrush.

I soooooooooooo wanted to tell the manager
I hope you train your employee! SCOP is supposed to be the first thing they learn when they start training at walmart. And when an assistant manager doenst even know abt this, you got a problem!
(My BIL is a manager at walmart and I know they taught them about SCOP)

Thanks for listening/reading.

What W-Mart was it? Did it happen to be Dufferin Mall?

How would u know? Are you stalking me?

That's the one I go to... and I dread it every time.

A supervisor there didn't understand the meaning of the word "any". I tried to get chips a while back and it was "any" (of the particular brand) 2 for $5... and when they scanned wrong the supervisor said I didn't get a SCOP, or it for $2.50 because it was only the flavour in the picture.

The same thing happened at the Wallyworld at Agincourt. I had a SCOP so instead of holding up the line, I went to customer service to get the SCOP. Surprisingly, the customer service lady had never heard of SCOP. Aren't people at customer service supposed to be the more senior and experienced employees? I was flabergasted. I told her that they even post the SCOP right next to the tils. She had to ask her manager about it which took over 30 minutes cuz the managers there never seem to be available. Walmart definitely needs to train their employees better.

I flipping HATE the Dufferin WM. But it's the closest one to my house.

My BIL used to be a manager there, so I used to rant to him (no wonder why he left, umum)

I did once met a VERY nice cashier who can read. But most of the time, they act like they own the store and they have to read the coupon 15 million times.

They should pay us to do that

Same here. I avoid it unless its a very good deal.

[kittyc]

We should have a SC gathering/meeting at Dufferin walmart then we can go deals hunting there and TRAIN their employees!

[Dinglehopper]

and TRAIN their employees!

Or just overwhelm them with coupons.

I may head there tomorrow to see if I can score a SCOP. Ha ha.

I think you can. The managerS and the staff made NO attempt to change the price or whatsoever.

There are 2 spots for the toothbrush. One is with all the other toothbrush. But the one that says 7.88 is at the end of the aisle. (or the beginning of the aisle?)
