Just makes me so mad..Joann's is the only shop close to me and I hate it...

At the register, the lady was frowning and saying well if you don't bring them in you won't get a (meaning a single discount) discount. I said, oh but, last week or last time I was here I had one of your infamous 50% off coupons and you took it off my spool of thread, not my seven yard purchase. She said oh you are wrong it always takes it off the highest purchased item. I said, H---, no it didn't. Your man here took it off the thread. I asked him and he said, 'that is the way it is done.' So she started to reach for the 30% off sign and I said, go ahead and ring up the purchase. So she did, and I asked how many 30% offs is listed? She said one. I said I bought six pieces from that section. NO WHERE does it say only one item. The whole shelf was 30% off and I expect you to cancel this purchase and RE RING IT. She did and she is much older and should have known better. I miss Piece Goods and some of the other older dry good stores. I got my 30% discount, but it is a shame you have to fight for discounts. Why be on a mailing list????? When it comes to bargain hunting, I need a license and a class with a certificate to present at purchase !

One time it happened to me at Jo Ann's, but I didn't notice until I was in my car. One item had been rung up incorrectly, and the coupon had been applied to the least expensive item. I marched right back into the store, didn't wait in line and asked for the manager. I asked her if it's their policy to ring things up incorrectly and to take the discount from the least expensive item. She turned red and said no to both. There WAS a line of women waiting, and they heard every word I said.

I actually used my coupon on scissors I really wanted and got my 50% off even though they were marked down 20%. Still saved me big time.

About a year ago, the Joann's near me installed the new cash registers. Has anyone else noticed that it's almost impossible to read the screen as things are rung up? No wonder we don't catch mistakes until we leave the store!
