County Market is one of those places where the staff just don't know the policies of the store. It drives me insane! So, I emailed corporate about a few of the questions I get a LOT of their staff, and I now carry the email response with me, so I can educate the cashiers.
For example, this trip, there was a store coupon that made Band-Aids 99 cents. I had a manufacturer coupon for a dollar off Band-Aids. You and I know that means free Band-Aids. The cashier did not want to ring them up that way. She said, "But then you'll be getting these for free!" I said, "I know! That's why I'm getting them." I whipped out my little email, she read it, the customer service person read it, and finally they rang them through. Geez! I guess there are people out there who want to buck the system, but still. I am following THEIR rules and get second-guessed. That drives me nuts!
Anyway, it was a pretty good trip.
