Mistake at JF...feeling a little guilty
 
I took my mom to Joann Fabrics today. Seniors would get 20% off the purchase today only, so she said she'd come along so I could get the additional discount. Nice!

We picked up a few things, including an Accuquilt Die, which can normally never be used with a 40% off coupon.

I handed the postcard with all the coupons to the checkout gal, and when I got home and looked at the receipt, she gave me 40% off the die along with the 20% off the total.

I am feeling a little guilty.

Should I return it and pay the correct amount?
Catholic Guilt is a killer!
LOL

I wouldn't. If it wasn't allowed, the cash register should have caught it.

But then I'm not Catholic so I don't have the Catholic guilt :D

Check your ad again and see what it says.

You know what you can - and cannot- live with.

I lucked out once when I bought some muslin - the muslin was on sale AND I had a % of total purchase that day!

I know all about Catholic guilt!!!! They get us young and it stays :D
It sounds to be like what you got was the sale price.
You have my permission not to feel guilty LOL

I know Catholic guilt... this doesn't apply. I agree with cashs_mom this day and age the cash register would have caught it.

I don't know about your JoAnn's, but at mine, they do what the register allows. You ask them if you can use this coupon or the other, and they say, "Let's see what the register says". They don't make those decisions, the register does.

​I calculate how much money I would have to spend in gas for a round trip.

Nothing to feel guilty about. JoAnns watches every penny so you didn't get away with anything.

If the 40% off coupon scanned then it was allowed, so don't feel bad.

A month or two ago I went to Joann's to get some FQs on sale and got a piece of yardage as well, I had some other stops to make afterwards and it didn't really ding until later that the amount that rung up was too low, so I checked the receipt and the yardage wasn't rung up, so I went back, she found the yellow slip and it took some playing with the register to ring that up. I went back a few days later for some home dec. fabric and the same thing happened, the yardage slip bar codes weren't scanning (and the girl at the register hadn't realized it till I pointed it out).

I imagine they have that fixed by now but I wonder how much un-rung up yardage went out the door because neither register operator nor customer realized those slips weren't scanning.

I would have gone back if I didn't see this

Says the discount applies to regular, sale and clearance items.
I know Catholic guilt, some of us have even perfected it, it's more my mother's words that stick with me.
