always keep your receipt...

i must share this story with everyone...i had two pair of blue jeans i had bought for jacob at dollar general...well of course they did not fit...he is the hardest child to fit for clothes...anyway, i lost my receipt but i knew i could take them back and "exchange" them for some other items we needed.

well i go into the dollar general i always go into and tell the cashier what i wanted to do...she said ok...so i proceed to go pick up some items that we needed. bear in mind i am expecting to exchange these pants for other items that total about $20.00 - the pants were $10.00 a piece. so i get to the counter and the cahsier takes the jeans to ring them up for exchange...it comes up they are only worth A PENNY! i asked if this was a mistake and she no because they had just had a clearance sale on their clothes...i proceeded to tell her that the tag was still on the pants. needless to say i did not get to exchange the pants because they were only worth 2 cents!

now i must tell you that i became a basement person! keep in mind that i have a major sinus infection because it has been raining. so i already did not feel good. i told her i did not want the items...as i am walking out the door with my jeans she says "do you need a bag for those?" i said ,"no they are only worth 2 cents." i left the buggy sitting at the register with all the stuff in it.

probably not the best thing and the christian thing to do, but good grief!!!!!!

Oh wow.. Seriously they marked the pants down to a penny? Why don't they just give them away. Yeah, I'm afraid that would have been a basement moment for me too!

That stinks.. You could do better than that selling them at a yard sale!
