Today, I loaded up the van with the kids and off we went to the mall. Em wanted to do some shopping at Hot Topic and we wanted pretzels for Auntie Anne’s (bad mommy moment, as pretzels ended up being lunch).
Hot Topic was having a sale on their undies. Cas was excited so she was going to get some things with her birthday money. I ended up leaving with the two little ones.
Get a call a bit later from Cas saying the woman wouldn’t give her the sale price and then wouldn’t cash a $100 bill… well, it was only 11:45a.m so I figured they probably didn’t want to use up their change… but why wouldn’t they give her the sale price? I headed back down to find out what was up.
First, Cas didn’t say anything to the cashier about them being on sale. She thought they looked over and saw the sign. I don’t really know for sure.
When I asked the woman who the manager was, she told me it didn’t matter anyway, because she put in her 2 week notice already. Ummm… ok.. nice answer. I did get the managers name and did talk to her tonight. I didn’t expect anything from it, just to point out how rude it the whole thing was.
I’ll be using this opportunity to talk to both girls about sale prices. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve had to retrieve a sign showing sale prices because the cashier wouldn’t go look herself. One lady got mad at me because I took the sign down and brought it her… but I’m not giving up a good deal because of their laziness.
Watch your receipts, watch the register ring up and don’t be shy. Speak up!
