Yesterday I went into Food Lion, which is a supermarket here in NC. I spent ½ an hour in the beer section trying to find the best beer for the best price. Not that I am a cheap person but I hate it when you feel like they are getting one ovah on you. So aftah a ½ an hour, I make the choice and realize that the ultimate decision only saved me $1.30. What an exercise! However the fun has only begun. I get to the register and the question comes “Do you have your Food Lion Rewards card?” No I don’t have my food Lion reward cahd or my CVS, Walgreens, Harris Teeter, Publix, ABC, or any of the 30 stores “Rewards cahds” I frequent to spend my money. So I give them this puzzled look and then start rambling off a phone number….HMMM that one wasn’t it? Let’s try my wife’s’ and I ramble off another number..meanwhile I have 6 people in line looking at me as if I made up these stupid rules. So I continue and say ”Try this number” oh I know it has to be one of them. Then the cashier scans her card which is on top of the register and although I smile and say “Bless your heart” in my head I am saying why the hell didn’t you do that in the first place and save us all this fruitless crap.
Then I love Joseph A Bank. Now there is a great program. Every other day a sale at Joseph A Bank… By one suit get 2 suits free. Then two days latah it’s buy 1 suit get 3 suits free…Then the following week it’s buy 1 suit get two suits free plus a tie and a shoe shine… I have never bought anything there because I am afraid that tomorrow there will be a better deal and if I buy today, I will feel like I got screwed!
For the love of God….HOW MUCH IS IT?
