Feelin' Rhyme-y, It's So Timely, I'm A Satisfied Lime-y

 ... I got my discount, now it's done.

A few days ago I told the tale of being cheated out of $.50 when I bought limes that were marked 3-for-a-dollar. The dang cashier charged me $1.50!

Saturday, I was back at Country Mart. Mainly for bananas, but of course I found a lot more to put in my cart/walker. I had french onion dip that was on sale, store-brand chips, baby dills and pickle spears, a $4.99 chicken dinner from the deli, pepper jack cheese slices, and another attempt at the limes. I was prepared with my schpiel when I got to the register.

"I'm not complaining... but really I AM. These limes are marked 3-for-a-dollar. Last time I was here, they got rang up for $1.50. And my receipt said LARGE limes, 3 at $.50. There's only one size lime. It wasn't YOU who rang me up. And it might be a problem programmed into your system. Just saying, your sign lists them as 3-for-a-dollar, and if they're not, I don't want them."

"Oh. I'll check on that for you."

She looked at the sticker on the limes, and punched in the code. Then she did a bunch of other stuff, including looking at a little chart that I suppose is for the young cashiers, showing PICTURES of each type of produce, and telling their name! Anyhoo... by the time she finished, she said,

"There's a way around that! I fixed it for you."

I thanked her and paid. Didn't peruse the receipt right there. Told her,

"All this for fifty cents!"

When I got back to T-Hoe, I saw that she had rung up a charge of $1.00, which was listed as "Grocery Dept." Looks like they DID have it programmed wrong. I'm not so sure it's an accident...
