The Fun of Being the Pain in the Azzzzz Customer at Sam's

When I was playing Cashier, they expected me to sell the Plus Memberships and the E-Value Program. I know that when I am shopping I detest hearing Sale Pitches and don't like doing what I detest to customers.

Okay, the e-value program is a good thing and the best way to sell it is to know what I am selling so I got the plus membership myself.

Today I have the day off and decided to play customer for a change. LOL!

I walked into Sam's and stuck my card in the e-value machine. Dang, there are four items that I can get discounts on.

There is a three dollar discount on a pack of 42 AA Batteries. I don't need that many batteries. My GPS goes though batteries pretty fast but 42 batteries is a bit much. My friend that goes buzz in the night still has the original batteries from when I first bought it last year. So I don't need 42 batteries. I am better off buying them at the dollar store.

The next item was a three dollar discount on a choice between 62 ounces of Kraft's or Hellman's Mayo. That would last five years and my arteries would not like it.

Next was the bottle of Advil. I bought a bottle two weeks ago. I don't need a second bottle.

The last item was something that I might actually buy. It was a box of 20 Kellogg Fiber Plus Bars which were nowhere in sight.

I strolled over to the COS who was my boss a few weeks ago. Where are they hiding these things, I asked her and showed her the list. "I think they are in the healthy stuff section." I had already looked there but checked again to no avail.

After checking out that items, I did buy - I gave her my receipt. The supervisor has to check off all Associate Purchases. "Did you find them," she asked. Nope. She radioed the item number. Lo and behold they were were not stocked and on a top shelve. So she ordered the st ocker to get them down on the floor which he had to do with a forklift.

I watched them with amusement and commented to one of my fellow workers. Today is my day to be the Pain in the Azzzzzzzz Customer.

He crossed his arms and frowned. "YOU are the reason we are getting this down with a forklift." Yep! I laughed as I grabbed a box of the Fiber Plus Bars. "You better buy two of them," he commented.

Nope, if this is an advertised plus item, it better be on the floor, I advised him as I walked away with my box of Fiber Plus Bars. I was chuckling all the way.

It just makes me grateful that I no longer have to sell Plus Memberships as a Cashier since I've transferred to Produce. I would much rather sell apples and blueberries.



Abracadabra
