Thank you!
I did try to find where I could look at these all at once

First off, we have NO idea how the original poster addressed the person she spoke with (tone of voice, etc.). She may say she spoke one way, and in fact, spoke another way to her. Secondly, she bought the WII a MONTH ago. Why on earth would you try to get something for free when you bought the darn thing a MONTH ago. If you were truly that concerned about getting it, why not return the one you had, and buy a new one to get the rockers.
I work in customer service for 2 companies. I get paid minimum wage, and deal with crap day in and day out. Customers ALWAYS expected something for nothing. ALWAYS. And when you give them their "deserved" free crap, they still have a fit because it is not good enough. They will continue to b*tch and moan over it LONG after they have gotten whatever it is that they wanted. Yes, customer service is there to help you, but NOT to make every decision for you, and not to hold your hand because you are too lazy to actually look for what YOU want. I have literally had customers tell me, "Well, you tell me what I want." How in the world am I supposed to know what you are looking for if YOU don't even know? We are NOT mind readers, and we can only do so much. Until YOU have actually had to work in customer service, you will NEVER know the crap they deal with day in and day out with demanding customers.
My husband used to complain about the customers he had to deal with every day. And I always told him there was no way people actually acted that way. There was no way people could be so demanding for no reason ans actually expect to get the crap they wanted. Boy, was I wrong. I have dealt with very few "good" customers. I'd say about 90-95% of the customers I have dealt with have been very rude and ill-informed.
QUOTE Scanner420: "I really didn't get a chance to read over all of it, (I was running late) but I was curious, since I bought a Wii there a month ago and called the store on my way into work."
She didn't even read it all over BEFORE calling. There is always fine print to any sale.
QUOTE: Scanner420: "I took a breath and told her slowly, that I saw the display for the free chairs and wondered if the product I had bought a month ago, at that store, qualified for the freebies and quick as anything, she said no, it has to be no later than 10 days from the sale and that it was store policy. (kinda ironic that five minutes ago, she knew nothing about the sale.)"
Just because she didn't know about the sale does not mean she doesn't know about STORE POLICY. They are 2 different things.
As a customer, ALWAYS make sure YOU are informed BEFORE you call about something. That is YOUR job as a customer.
Yes, the employee was wrong in cussing to her fellow employee. But at the same time, how do WE know what the original poster said to her? We don't. Maybe the employee was justified in venting to ther fellow co-worker. (Not the languaged used, though.)
But I think you're missing the point, the language, the way I understood the post, was mainly what she was upset about...

First of all, obviously it's not OK to make "rude" comments when other customers are around but (a) who's to say that they were customers around in the first place and (
if it wasn't said loud enough so customers could hear, what does it matter? I worked in a store that prides itself on customer service and I've seen managers talk about customers to each other all the time. As long as other customers don't hear, it's not a problem. Second, as a manager, you obviously didn't encounter the customers who expected employees to hold their hands. There have been numerous occassions where I've been asked to show customers where every single thing on their list is located in the store because they're too lazy to read the signs and look for themselves. I've had people yell at me because I don't know every single detail about a stupid toaster. I've had people get angry at me because they asked me for my advice on certain products and they didn't like my answers.
Maybe where you worked you didn't have the pleasure of meeting these customers but employees that work in stores like Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us witness these customers daily.
If the OP wants to call corporate, go ahead. I can almost guarantee you that the store manager will be notified of the situation, and he'll/she'll laugh it off and do absolutely nothing about it. My friend works at the customer service desk at Target and she gets numerous complaints about certain employees who have given "bad" customer service. You know what happens? Absolutely nothing. People like to complain about EVERYTHING, don't they?
Sounds like to me you're condoning the behavior of this TRU employee because of your own bad experiences. So would you have made a comment like that in that situation??? And as for your argument "how do you know anyone could hear what she said" and "there's nothing wrong with saying things like that when the customers can't hear you," that's ridiculous! You better ASSUME that everyone can hear what you say when you're on the floor and leave comments like that for the breakroom...
And yes, I have been offended by people's language (customers) while shopping and feel like I have the right to ask them to stop talking that way in front of my kid(s).

Thank you!! I was just wondering, is there a way you can get all the clearance deals together so you can scroll down and look at them, like office max has their clearance set up? I would like to look at everything but it would take forever clicking on one item at a time. Thanks!!!

You can use this pass along with the 50% + 15% additional off today only! (12/15) So on most items in the store you're saving $50+15%+ another 15% with this coupon - I saved a BOATLOAD of money by going yesterday,THEN I handed the pass to another lady and she had a LOT of stuff and was thrilled. Got LOTS of nice things for $171.00

These were all gifts except for the khaki pants. I LOVE KOHL'S!

Silly question but what would you consider a midweight? Do you think this would be good for cold but no snow? Thanks for any suggestions. they actually have Jaguars and my son is a fanatic! LOL!!
A midweight is perfect for those chilly days (especially damp, windy ones) where it's too cold for a lightweight jacket, like a sweatshirt jacket, etc. but too warm for a heavy winter coat. In Indiana, it is almost a must, as you never know what the weather will bring. Hope this helps !
-
They also have kids sizes half price, but these are very limited!
-
So tell 'em to send me one, LOL!!! Right now I have $30 in Kohl's cash, could I use these 2 together if I get one?We push out thousands of those to folks who don't have a Kohl's charge as an added incentive to sign up and save the $10, plus 15% off the total.

:QUOTE=superbad;1019449]^^ its the opposite here in CA... we are blowing up transformers because of having so many lights just on our block alone...
-
I got the Nativity Set (the hard plastic kind) that includes Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus for $25.00. It was marked down from $45.xx.
WOW would love to have that too!!!
-
Also just in case anyone got a Circuit City catalog type thing in the mail this week there is a $15 off $99 purchase coupon in it. There a few exceptions to this coupon but it should be good on the Zune.
How do I get one of these coupons? I didn't get one thru the mail, though I shop there
If there's another way to get one, let me know! Thanks!!! -
If anyone finds one of these near SW Indiana PLEASE let me know! All the stores around me are sold out. This would put the icing on the cake for my 20 yr. old son, plus I would be DONE shopping for him! Thanks!!!
-

Same here

I made a quick dash thru this area tonight and noticed some of their stuff was on sale, mainly outdoor blow up decorations. The 8 ft. polar bear, santa and snowman that were $29.96 are now $20. I wanted a snowman, darnit, but that and the santa were sold out
-
Does anyone have one for Kohl's right now? If you do, I would REALLY appreciate you sharing - thanks!

this will be a nice gift set for my 16 yr. old DD. thanks for the info, made the card I got thru the mail an even sweeter deal!
-

Anyone know if there is any website that is still selling these new at $100 or less? Now that I need one for Christmas, I can't find them under $200. Thanks!! :)
-

Solids as well as cute holiday prints. I got snowflakes and forest friends. :)
These are very big and nice - got one on BF for $4
-
Not really. The lowest price on pricegrabber is $125. Also Amazon has it for $130
So this is a good deal
Yes it seems to be a good price but I think the point Noehlp is trying to make is that this price is WALMART'S everyday price, not other competitors. I looked at it too and the ad does not say anything about it being on sale at Walmart

What if Brad could pull together a forum that is for "one day deal only" listings? Or if it was a 2 day deal, then the posts could stay on 2 consecutive days, etc. Is there any way that you could set it up so the deals would be erased at midnight every night, Brad? And then at 12:01 people could start posting about the deals they come across that day. Sometimes these one day deals are exceptional and it would be nice to go straight to them everyday without searching several forums. Also these could be online, instore, etc. Everyone would have to be clear on which type it was and maybe even the day(s) it is good. Just a thought; give me some input
Thanks!!!
