OK , so i finally went out and got a fan , i think i tweeted twice about it .. my  new fan rocks , it's a quiet fan , and has a sleep mode, even has a remote control. However no can't write a blog about my new fan. I mean i could but may bore y'all to death. and think i need to take a new hobby other then blogging. Seriously the reason for this blog. When i went to the local big chain (no names yet) bought my fan for fifty bucks . That's $50.00 dollars , and also bought some other miscellaneous items. Mainly some food products . This chain who has food products. Actually surprisingly has some OK prices ..So my bill was like $135.00 dollars   .Anyway just when i got home i glanced at my receipt. Bought three things of soup(will include a pic of the soup). It's a great new soup from Campell's so give it a try. Anyway the receipt said i had purchased two
sep·a·rately and two at $2.49. Making a total  of Four (well i only bought three).The cashier messed up and i caught it . in the store's favor. and i payed $2.49 to the corporate big wigs in Minnesota. This chain is based out of MN. OK so the cashier wouldn't be able to pocket the mistake . It's not set up that way in the retail environment. Just a F--k Up on her part.  Meaning if she was a bartender or something in a small bar , possibly she could of , but the error was just plain in the store's favor and not me the customer. I actually used to process data for a gourmet grocery store in Southern CA. yrs. ago. hence my outstanding computer skills(big ego today).. that make me no $. kidding not kidding about being a data processor about the money part , i actually was for five yrs. a data processor... anyway my job or part of it was to make sure the price on the advertised items matched what was selling in the store. Like if they have something on sale and you are getting charged for the item before it went on Sale or the non-sale price. my job was to change that. among other things.Anyway check your receipts and go back to store and make a fuss about it. if you want to be a real stinker you can report it the weights and measure. and the store can be fined .. and those damn corporate bosses may have to lay off the limo service or whatever they spend their big salaries on . Seriously Beware of the big chains and watch those receipts...the store ,well when you go hunting you need a T-----T , like a bulls eye....did the hint give it away, out of MN. remember.actually now that i read my post , there possibly was no malicious intent on the store's end. And actually may have a chip on my shoulder about corporate america. That i do, only the 2% of the company makes a good salary and the folk's below them lower there living standards and don't give back to the struggling economy by going to sporting events , concert's , vacation everything that pumps our ecomonyl  for there corporate greed (profit). Same Goes to those  small -mid sized company that do not  care about their  employees or increasing morale that is oh so important.
