Silly Sally!

Well, I was hoping to have some juicy retail horror stories from Black Friday, but all I could come up with was this.....In the midst of hustle and bustle and a line a mile long a lonely woman waits with paper in hand, receipt paper that is....the line slowly creeps towards the register, sweat starting to bead on her brow. FINALLY she approaches the cashier and says "I need a price adjustment!" Seriously???? You come ALL the way to the store on a Black Friday for a price adjustment? When you hear the amount you will understand her urgency to get this done immediately. 

Woman buys coat for $26
next day woman "even exchanges" coat for bigger size but same price $26
she then adds on 2 pairs of pants
so her receipt says:
Coat ($26)
Coat $26
pants $10
pants $10
Hands cashier coupon
above mentioned coat is now only $22, nice right? cause in today's economy every bit of savings help.....

Fast forward to Black Friday....*Silly Sally wants the cashier to price adjust her coat to $26 to make it an even exchange. Cashier explains "Sally, by the looks of your receipt and because you had a coupon you actually spent LESS on the coat and saved money" Silly Sally says "I know but I wanted the coat even exchanged and would like the difference" "Um, but you saved money this way, see, the coat actually cost less" Silly Sally again says "I KNOW but I want the price adjustment back to the even exchange and I want the difference back" Now, who am I to argue because "The customer is ALWAYS right" right?!?! Well, lets break this down....Here in Indiana the price for a single gallon of gas is estimated at $3.59 A GALLON. Silly Sally here wasted more then that one gallon driving to the store, stood in a long ass black Friday line to get back FOUR DOLLARS!!! Silly Sally!
