CVS’ing January 8th

So I ventured to CVS this evening. I have a small confession first. I have several CVS’ I frequent. The most convenient one is the one next to Kroger, just get my CVS purchases and head on in to the grocery store. However, several days before Christmas Ben and I made a quick stop into that CVS and didn’t have a good experience. The cashier had trouble with my coupons, got really frustrated, made me feel like i was a huge pain in the butt, and in the end forgot to scan my CVS card which meant that I lost out on some ECB opportunities and $$$$. I tried to help her figure out how to fix it but she kept acting like I just ruined her life (mind you there was no one in line behind me either, not like I am holding up the joint). Anyway, I kindly (okay not so kindly) explained to her that it wasn’t I who had made the mistake, that I spend money in there too, and that I didn’t care as much about saving money as I did about being treated with a little decency.  And we left.

So I have been avoiding that CVS for the past few weeks. No need to run into her if I don’t have to. Especially if there is another CVS just minutes from my home, actually closer than the one at Kroger. So anyway, I go to the store closest to me tonight and guess who is working? YEP! The girl I am avoiding, and I am at the other store! Oh well, that will teach me. We made amends. Turns out she is really nice. Perhaps we were both just having a bad day.
