Okay journal entry time... here is my story.

I have to say that I cannot sleep tonight. I hate this feeling, because I am quite tired and having felt all to well today. But I digress.

So this morning I went to CVS. Now I love this store and there is an ExtraCare card involved which is very cool, coupons show up left and right.
Okay so I go to the counter with some odds and ends... and ladies there is ALWAYS a 75% off table with a ton of really good mak-up on it. So that was part of my odds and ends. The guy at the counter starts talking to me and says he's been at work since 3am - he begins to ring up my stuff and stops because nothing is on sale. He voids that bill and rerings EVERYTHING at 75% off.
Then he doesn't charge me for three of the items clearly sitting on the counter. THEN the two coupons my mom had given me for her camera and laundry detergent don't even apply because i didn't buy two of each - the guy proceeds to give me both coupons without questioning anything - and I get the points from the original bill - another 1.50 off.
I asked if it was all correct and he said "yea its a holiday somewhere in the world - let's start celebrating here early." I asked, "what about my bottle of water?" His reply - "Eh, give me a dollar."
Needless to say this is my favorite drugstore. Am I bad person for accepting this? I dunno but oh man CVS rocks!!

ty u should switch soely to watermelons - they are a much more productive fruit. The seeds will regrow for many years to come.

By the by I may need you assistance with something in the next few weeks? Are you curious? You are you know it...

see! once again.... its something with you, peoeple just LOVE to give you free stuff... i dont get it. Every time i go to CVS its for soda for a party or some hardcore painkillers and the people there usually are just stoned outta their minds...

violetboregaurd #2.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

well as I was standing there this girl came in to work and she had bright aqua blue hair - there was stoned somewhere a brewing.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

malibu #2.2 malibuOG 2001

that's because a lot of the people that work there are from netticompton (netcong) and that's all they do there.

socalgal #3 socalgalOG 2003

we don't have CVS here. we used to but they closed em all down

juicymango #3.1 juicymangoOG 2003

prolly cos they gave away too much free stuff to cute girls

socalgal #3.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

i'm ugly, they never gave me free stuff.

starshiptrooper #3.1.1.1 starshiptrooperOG 2003

you are SO NOT ugly. I know you're kidding. you've got to use your extra care card. then you get *extra bucks*. i got $17 last July. You get 2% back.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

lol, uh, thanks! =) they took those stores out so fast i never even knew what the extra care card was (until this journal)

forrestina #4 forrestinaOG 2002

this reminds me. i lost my stinkin extra care card.

englandkid #5 englandkidOG 2003

I hate CVS- I like the extra care stuff but seriously, those peeople never say hello!!! They are soo rude!!! Is that hard to "CARE"? I did my time in retail, and it was always about the customer. You smile, say hello, ring up their items, tell them how much it is, tell them how much cash they get back and then say thanks!!! This is one of my greatest pet peeves. I'm always tempted to complain, but CVS is the worst. The next time I'm going to complain!!! AND, I NEVER GET FREE STUFF... JUST THOSE COUPONS FOR THINGS I NEVER BUY!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

violetboregaurd #5.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

i'm sorry - yea i have to agree with the manners in retail. I ALWAYS am nice to the person behind the counter, because I have SO been there... and it goes along way just to say hi and how are yah.

Hmmm come to my CVS, I think there is more free stuff to come.lol.

originalsnob #5.2 originalsnobOG 2004

OMG A she reminds me of you, this is sooooo cute LOL!
It's so funny that you commented cause as I was reading I was like this is so you.

starshiptrooper #5.3 starshiptrooperOG 2003

u know why? they hate thier jobs b/c the store demoralizes u. no union, expensive benefits, no *good job, ms. employee*.
U'd like me. my boss told me I'm too friendly, just ring em up and get em out. I like to talk to people. I ALWAYS smile and say Hi. Do whole souled as for Jah, thats what keeps me going.

i went into CVS a couple weeks ago to buy medical tape, and the girl behind the counter looked at me and said "you know, you have beautiful eyes" ... so I said "how old are you?" she said "16" ... so i said "18??? GIGGITYGIGGITYGIGGITY!!!"

well the part about the eyes is true anyway...

rocksupastar #6.1 rocksupastarFounder

hahaha.... Family Guy will work its way into ANY and every comment and journal on this website...

"Ok, ok. I've got it, I've got it. If you cooked any more slowly, you wouldn't need an egg timer. You'd need an egg calender. Ah ha ha ha. Oh, that's right. I went there. "

There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her not to be alive anymore.

originalsnob #6.2 originalsnobOG 2004

ORINGINALSNOB (frowns with dissaproval) for shame :-P

thefunkyfresh #6.2.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

I am the head cashier in one of 3 CVS's in Bellmore NY. Working there breaks the spirit b/c we have a manager with all his *yes-men* and I will not ever be one of them. I don't kiss butt, esp a manger who is cold as ice. But i DO love my customers and they love me. I have alot of fun with them and that is the only reason I stay there. I love to help little old ladies find thier hemerhoid cream. I tease kids who come in to buy codoms. I try to talk smokers into quitting. Sorry when things dont come up on sale when they are. The powers that be are TOO LAZY to put them into the computer in the office. They are too busy goofing off.
only 4 more years till i quit!

yay #9 yayOG 2004
