| - So today I lost my mind and ended up in Fry's. I've shopping at Sprouts and Trader Joe's, but today I needed marshmallow cream for a recipe, so there you go.
I wandered a bit and picked up a few more things I needed for a staff breakfast on Monday, then I remembered I needed something to put the fruit on. In the summer seasonal aisle, I found some oval plastic platters marked down from $3.99 to $1.20, so I scooped up four of those, very pleased.
I went to check out, and the platters rang up at regular price. I said, "Oh, those are on sale," and she completely ignored me and gave me my total. I said again, "Those platters are marked down in the seasonal aisle." She lazily picks one up, flips it over, and says, "There's no sale tag," and repeats my total.
I say to her, "Can you please have someone check?" I'm paranoid about sales tags and always check the description and the item number to avoid embarrassing moments like this. She says, "We're really busy." I said, "There's one person in line behind me and he's still unloading. Can you please call and have someone go check?"
She then says, "Oh, honey, no, they're not on sale." I said, "Then just take them off, please", which she did. I SHOULD have hollered for a manager or gone back and checked myself, but it was ultimately my fault for even being IN a Fry's, so at that point I just wanted out of there.
As I was walking away, the cashier says to the bagger, "People try that ALL THE TIME," and I kept walking and thinking "Try WHAT?" when it occurred to me that she just effectively accused me of trying to steal from the store by getting a deal I didn't deserve. I hate this store. I hate their customer service. I hate their grumpy faces. I am never stepping foot in this Fry's again.
