Why is it the older the children get the more expensive their Christmas lists get?

patiently waiting for Black Friday flyers! Need those sneak peaks! People think I'm nuts going out for Black Friday

The upstairs neighbours apartment has been under construction... for 3 years. Honestly. 3 years is my breaking point but they wait until 8 a.m. so I can't do anything. Luckily, the frathouse neighbours have really cut down on the night screaming

I forgot to set the timer on the coffee maker last night... waits patiently for that first cup of coffee to percolate.

cold.. brrrr

not that big of a deal BUT when the sign says " red onions 97 cents a lb " that is what I want to pay. Truth be told this was for DH's salad, and no one else eats these, so I tried to pick the smallest light weight one. Total came to $1.42....I thought no way! I see the price charged was $3.46 per kg.
So I patiently wait in CS line to get my SCOP.
The gal agrees I was charged wrong, says " I'll adjust the bill " and I say " you mean you'll give me a SCOP " and the then says " are you requesting a SCOP ?"
Hmmm. thought I just said that but I repeat yes I am requesting a SCOP and she does it.
So I ask her why she asked me that and she said SCOP is only done IF the customer requests it.
Guess I did not get the memo on this, when did WM change?

^I could not get SCOP today at RCSS even though it scanned wrong and meet the requirement because cashier does not 'know what it is'!

I see...

That is when you need to request higher up staff.

I ask for supervisor and she said something about how I am using $2 coupon so its already cheap. But ya I did ended up paying $1.50 after $2 coupon as line was growing and me is too much of a chicken!

my kid and markers.... she gets soo into her colouring it gets all over her hands... and as i was washing her face before bed there was blue IN her nose...and when i question her she gives me the "oh i must have picked my nose, that's now it got there"... there's just simply no response to that.. well other then handing her the nail brush to scrub her hands

Next time keep your coupon and get your SCOP. Most times the cashier knows about SCOP and they are just told to act uninformed. There is a $5000.00 fine for stores not following SCOP. Ask them next time to call there or at least get the phone number.

This is off-topic, but speaking of SCOP, can someone point me to the thread on Smart Canucks that explains the basics for someone who doesn't know them? I know it exists because I saw it once and *thought* I bookmarked it, but now I can't find it...and when I search for it, I get hundreds of threads in response and don't know which is the main one.

So I guess not too off topic, my rant is when I'm sure I have bookmarked an important webpage and later when I need it, I can't find it!
