Hi hicks.:wave2:. Time for a refill or two.Attachment 302641

Miss you all muchly! :love:
I had a wonderful holidays. But NYE at work I barely made it through my shift and crawled out of the car and straight into bed when i got home. I have had a head cold since...ears plugged so bad still! I am off on a new (very COLD! :shocked: ) adventure. My biological father passed away on Monday. I had not spoken with him since I was young but did connect with my half sister in the last couple years on FB. So we are extermely excited to meet each other despite the circumstances. The funeral is on Tuesday in Yellowknife.....brrrrrr

@vw-girl - you must be SO excited to meet your half sister. I sure hope you feel better soon.

SO EXCITED! As is she. She sent me the sweetest messages when i told her i would be coming. Told me she has "been missing me for so long" ...like before she even knew about me, she always wanted a sister :love:

And she has 2 beautiful daughters....my only nieces :) I have already shipped up a few things to spoil them last year in the Target days. But I can't wait to get to know them and then spoil them some more!

Morning Kids.. *Very Important message, Please read and pass on to ALL your Family & Friends..

THIS IS A "HEADS UP" FOR EVERYONE...IF YOU USE CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS PLEASE READ THIS...IT WAS FORWARDED TO ME BY A FRIEND AND I AM SHARING IT AS WELL.....THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!

It happened at a Wal-Mart Supercenter a month ago.

I bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her I didn't request a cash back & to delete it.
She said I'd have to take the $40 because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor.

Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it! I said NO! Taking the $40 would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't paying interest on the cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order.
So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & rescan everything!

The second time I looked at the electronic tab before I signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it.

The total came out right. the cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. (yeah, right!)

Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't defective because she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning.
Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?

Just to alert everyone. My coworker went to Milford , DE Wal-Mart last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt.

She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her.
My coworker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!

My coworker called Wal-Mart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her This is a new scam. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.

Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!

This is NOT limited to Wal-Mart, although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents.

I am adding to this.... My husband and I were in Wal-Mart North Salisbury and paying with a credit card. When my husband went to sign the credit card signer, he just happened to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she canceled it.
We didn't think anything of it until we read this email.

I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????

BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER'S STATION!!!!!
CHECK YOUR RECEIPT

Last before I take a rest.

most of the world's problems would be solved if technology were removed from the face of the earth

oh look.. post #16000

I wonder if 16,001 last posts are worth just $20. :shrug:

about as much as 16 002 ;)

or 03
:lolsign:

this could go on indefinitely, you know :)

Now that would qualify as 'little things that irritate me'.
