I LOVE shopping at Publix. I have a "regular" cashier I go to. He knows me and I know him by now. He was closing his lane, but offered to stay open to check me out. He even offered to split my order for me without me having to keep track of it!! AWESOME!!!

6/16/10 Rite-Aid Trip

ARGH.....Okay....so a whole row of items can "accidentally" be placed in the wrong place and the customer has to "pay" for it. The Veet was behind a tag for $6.49, but rang up for $8.99. When I questioned it, I was told that it was placed in the wrong place. I asked about returning it and you would've thought I asked for the answer to Global Warming. I just figured it wasn't worth the hassle and was reminded of why I don't like Rite-Aid!!!
