Sorry I took so long to come back. You probably thought that I was MILKING a cow first before buying the milk!
Actually when I went to Rite-Aid, I grabbed a gallon of milk and waited on line. There were five people ahead of me. When an older lady (Probably in her late fifties to early sixties) at the head of the line went to the cashier (There was only one cashier open at the time), she told the cashier that she wanted to buy a bottle of Revlon face makeup that was on sale as "Buy 1 Get 1 75% off" but there was only one bottle left on the shelf (The one she had placed on the cashier's counter). The cashier called a stock boy to do a check (Which took about six minutes) and he confirmed that it was the last one. The lady then insisted that the cashier ring up the bottle as 50% off price. The cashier said that she couldn't ring it up as half price for the lady since it was not "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" but "Buy 1 Get 1 75% off". She did offer the lady a "Rain check" so that the lady could buy both bottles at the sale price at a later date when the sale was over (It ends this Saturday) and the store should restock by next week. The lady got angry and started yelling that she wanted to use the product today. She spurted some bullshit about how that Rite-Aid store never has enough items in stock whenever they have a sale and wanted to see the manager (All that took about seven minutes). The cashier called the manager to her counter (More time passed and the other people on line including me, were starting to get pissed). After about five minutes, the manager finally showed up at the cashier's counter.
The cashier explained everything to the manager who then apologized to the lady but said that he could call the nearest Rite-Aid store (The nearest one is twelve blocks away from that store) and check with them to see if they have enough of the same product in stock for sale or he could give her a "Rain check". The lady then had a look of disgust on her face, yelled out that she was going to lodge a complaint about that store location on Rite-Aid's website and left the store in a huff (Time passed: About four minutes). By that time, I was worried that the milk I had in my cart was starting to go bad by staying all that time in the store's room temperature (Twenty-two minutes), so I went back to the refrigerated section and swapped out that gallon of milk for a cold one. When I went back to the line, guess what? Shit happened and I saw that three more people got on the line! But it wasn't so bad since the manger had already opened up another cash register and was manning that one himself (About three minutes passed by the time I reached the cashier and checked out)! End of story, by the time I got back home, my twenty minute trip ended up being a thirty-five minute journey (It took me five minutes to walk to that store and five minutes to walk back home) and I had to start making dinner. After dinner, a little TV watching and cleanup, here I am. I'm sorry that we couldn't chat today but if I didn't go out for milk then I wouldn't have this crazy story to tell you~!
