My jewel story for this week:
Monday, coming home from the gym, JUST when the weather emergency text hit me up, I walked into Jewel to score my 10 lbs of the $2.99 chuck roasts, and use the 1.00 off Enlightened Ice cream coupon (Enlightened is made out of voodoo. It HAS to be. I triple dog dare you to try the flavor "Caramel Double Dough," and disagree. How it has under 10 grams of net carbs per pint clearly means a witch doctor works at the factory.)
Anyway - the roasts rang up incorrectly and the coupon wasn't taken off. I had the items "checked - in basket," - I know I've scrood that up a few times, but I've learned to cross my t's while in line by now. So, over to the customer counter I went. After some quick math, i was instructed to put my card into the reader for the refund, and then BOOM. Power went out.
Lol - ONLY me. I swear.
So, people started crowding the front door to watch. The skies opened up. Dark as hell outside. And the rain was just dumping down.
BUT. Here's where it gets good:
Some couple in line that were in the middle of their transaction had some issues. The lady started screaming about the kids at home. The gentleman followed suit, and started yelling to the cashier that they can't stay and wait, because their kids are at home. And I do mean YELLING. Then it escalated. The lady started screaming about "cars and fences flying through the air," and started very agitatedly walking around the checkout areas just screaming about nonsense (like she had watched Twister when she was FAR too young.) It went on long enough for people to start rolling their eyes, and literally just discounting her screaming, and watching the storm brew. The Jewel employees were basically looking around at each other with that, "I never went to college, so I didn't take Psych 101 much less 104, so, that lady needs to figure out some kinda resolution that doesn't involve much action on MY part, so...."
After a few more minutes, one of the older empls told them to please just leave, and tend to their kids at home. The lady then screamed at the top of her lungs, while pointing at her husband, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Lol - ONLY me. I swear.
My refund was hosed, their connection to the credit card co was down. They tried to get me the refund several times. I told them I was in no hurry, and to just let me know whatever the best thing to do was. The absolutely stellar lady that was trying to hook me up with my refund and I just laughed about it. She asked if I could come back in on Wed am (she knows I'm there a lot, and I look at my receipts, so, I visit the desk a lot.) No biggie. I went back this am, - did all of the math for them before I got there, even, and got the refund from a diff employee that I've never seen before after explaining what happened, and being organized with the math and receipt.
On the plus side, since my coupon for the Caramel Double Dough didn't work the first time, I got to use it today. Voodoo, I tells ya.
We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.
