so it was ME who almost made a scene at hobby lobby
we were told Abi couldn't use a coupon (which this time is no big deal as only two things we got weren't on sale and I had MIL with me and so we each used one) And THIS TIME she didn't have her own money with her - usually if she has money (dollars, change) she will go through the line and buy her own things -and if THAT had been what she was going to do and she had a full price item that was subject to the 40% off coupon I WOULD have said something
BUT, that pisses me off - my 6yo who has been shopping an dusing hobby lobby crafts for 5 years isn't a customer? Since when is there an age restriction on retail consumption?
now, granted, I would understand if we were trying to buy furniture or something - but we shop for beads, string, puzzles, paints - all things for CHILDREN - that my CHILDREN use
this manager came over to observe and dictate our check out process - like RIGHT When I started unloading the cart and it was wierd
and she was really rude and the whole experience was strange - like nothing I've ever experienced at that store and we're there once sometimes twice a week.
She even really blatantly told the check out girl to check and make sure there was nothing hiddien in the unfinished wood boxes we got (for the mosaicplaydate)
I wonder if it is just people responding to Kathy? I've never had that happen and then 3 of the 5 places I've gone with Kathy have had negative experiences
dyk then she wondered if we did something inadvertantly that flagged us as shoplifters?
dyk another friend of mine said maybe it was the CHECKER who was under scrutiny for mishandling sales and coupon use and the manager handled it poorly in front of us -
dyk I don't know - it sure felt directed at ME personally
dyk and I am not typically "paranoid" about such things

DYK- Standard retail practice is to look inside everything that "opens" and in between stacked items.
DYK- The things I find "hidden" by customers is amazing - and costly and not so costly.
dyk my mom is disappointed, haha
