So, I’m in line to check out at Walgreen’s this past week. An elderly woman comes in with an ad. Instantly I recognize it as a CVS ad, even though she had torn out a middle page. She asks the cashier about it, “So, if I buy $25 of these items, I get $10 back on my receipt?” The cashier says yes. (She was sooo NOT into her job.)
I couldn’t let this sweet lady buy $25 of the Kimberly Clark deal at CVS. So I said, that is a CVS ad/deal, I just did it across the street. The lady was kind of embarrassed but thanked me. She did mention she was just at CVS. Maybe that is where she got the ad? I just didn’t want her to spend all that time doing the deal, ya know! The cashier seemed unfazed. (I should note, I usually have great cashier’s at Walgreens. This one was just really dry, hated her job, or honestly didn’t know. I don’t know but I’m just a shopper and I can recognize a Walgreens ad from a CVS ad so why couldn’t she?)

Don’t you just love that! Especially when you hear or have a bad coupon/cashier experience!
One of the Walgreens I go to has coupons all over the place to use and the lady at the register will dig in her coupon stash to make sure people get the best deals. I couldn’t figure out why it was taking everyone so long to check out. LOL!
hehe. that’s funny! poor little lady…
i did my cvs/walgreens shopping today, and like yours, mine are right across the street from one another. it can be confusing, especially for us newbies. i’m still learning where everything is in my stores! we have AWESOME cashiers at both places and i feel so lucky! the ones at walgreens even have their own stash of coupons and will look through them when they ring you up, making sure you get the best deals, and they always alert me if i’ve gotten the wrong item for a deal and make sure to tell me if i missed a deal they think i’d like. just today i had 2 coupons for an item and the gal behind the counter pulled out one i didn’t have, which gave me an additional $1 off my item. i think i like her…
