anyone know what a XXX8 could be?

I scratched one 5128 last night and was $5 ....

My Ct would only let me use 1. The CSM came over and said it was one per person or family per day HUH? I showed her it said 1 per transaction. I had 4 but left the store.

We got Friskies cat food, toilet paper, chocolates, and gum.

A lady in front of me had a $100 scratch card. She probably knew what amount it was because she still had to spend $70.xx OOP. I think she bought a GPS or something electronic because it was a smallish box.

A father and a little boy in front of DH has a $25 scratch card. DH saw the card and it was partially scratched. When it was their turn, the father told the little boy to start scratching. Cashier said that she was supposed to scratch the card. Father said his son already scratched it. Got his $25 discount.

Read on another forum that while he was waiting in line, he offered to let customers know what coupon they had with his flashlight. One guy had a $100 so he left the line to get $100 worth of stuff. He did it to all the customers and then got the cashiers mad and then security told him to stop doing it.

I wonder how the CT employees feel about working on scratch card promo day.

Wonder if CT will have another one soon.

I feel sorry for losers like this . I pity them.

But then again in a me first world and the stuff that goes around on forums these days , nothing surprises me.

The blatant lying , abuse and cheating is nothing new from people like these, but I firmly believe in Karma and more often that not people like these always lose in the long run , sad but true .

[kashkoush]

am sorry i don't get it, what abuse or cheating he did? by offering customers to see what code they have? well we all did at home to know how much exactly they worth!
if am out of the line ignore my questioning

The girlfriend of the guy who was reading other customers cards got her card stolen from her purse. Thank goodness that's all that was stolen. Cashier gave her a new card which was a $5 one. He had a $25 one.

[firstimer1969]

Most cashiers hate it. I didn't see too many happy faces. I would hate it too.

Of course they will. I would imagine no, I would bet on it that they actually make far more profits on scratch card days then on a regular Saturday. If you noticed, most of the people lined up to use cards had tons of purchases, far more than a measly $5 scratch card would get them. What they lost in cards they made up in products sold with large profit margins. This community of frugal shoppers is relatively small and most people don't use coupons and hardly any use them like some people here.

Since my bro did all the hard work doing recycling bin diving, he kept all the over $10 ones and gave me a bunch of $5 ones. Still very happy. In return, I gave him Tide, Herbal Essence, and Old Spice coupons.

I saw someone with only 2-3 pack of royal TP, cashier scratch the card... it was 100$. Cashier let him return in store to have his basket over 100$...

3 minute later, the couple in front of me saw that... they were not having scatch card with them and were buying stuff for approx 130$... The guy was in process to paid when his girlfriend ask the cashier if she was giving the card... She realisez that most of people were having one. Cashier said: "we give only if you ask for". The girl said could I ask, could you give us a card? And ask her BF to stop and cancel the transaction with the bank card. Cashier give her a card and scratch it... it was a 100$. The couple was so happy with that luck!

He had a partially scratched card and then he was pretending that his son just scratched the card. If thats not cheating , i don't know what is.
