Ok so I go on Monday to getthe deal on frebreeze buy $10 worth get $5 ecb on sale 2/5 I hve 4 coupons and a ecb for $3
So they only have 2 girl says com eback fri as they get the truck I go back still none on the shelf I ask the girl says let me look in these box's from the truck nothing Then she says she'll go look and goes in the opposite direction heading towards cosmetics lol She then comes back via the aisle it is supposes to be in and says there isn't any on the shelf lol duh and that she asked teh manager and he said the truck is not done being unloaded I ask to speak to him he comes up and before he sees me asks teh girl "Did she hang up?" lol I say no I am right here
I tell him what happened and he says again that the truck is not unloaded yet and asks if I got a rain check I told him no because of the ecb So I asked him is it in the truck? He says he doesn't know lol I asked him if he could check the truck invoice he says it doesn't come with one lol
In my 25 years plus of retail I have never ever had a truck come in without an invoice or manifest How does one run a store like that ? grrrrrr
Thanks for the vent

was to lazy to check the truck or invoice. If a truck comes in how do you unload it without a invoice? How can you be sure you received everything you ordered? CVS has become very frustrating to do anymore deals with them lately. I guess during October when they had all of the unlimited ECB they must of realized what was going on with all of the great deals everyone was getting and changed all of the rules.

4 . "Tina.... I have been told by the manager that they don't "order" anything (M)"

Supposedly all orders are generated at headquarters and the store doesn't know WHAT they're getting until it arrives. ROFL They CAN apparently special order something in bulk if needed (especially if it is NOT a sale item, of course).

Of course that's also the man who told me he was going to "shut us couponers down". (I was livid after THAT remark). He was nice to me the other day when I was in---said Hi, at least and smiled. Could be he noticed I hadn't been in for awhile---and maybe missed my business. But coupons, rainchecks (you may get sale price but not the ECB--which I SWEAR they just don't understand), ECB's, will give you fits at the Buckner store.

After having managed a small convenient store WAAAYYY back when.... I don't think I could handle the frustration of not knowing WHAT was coming into my store and having no control over what was coming out of my bottom line. I just can't BELIEVE any store would actually function that way. After all, what are the managers for then?!?!? SHEESH!!!

Ok I went to see the manager a lil while ago and he gave me the raincheck for the frebreeze at 41.25 a piece wich reflects the sale and the ecb He says they are not supposed to do it but he would this time I told him that I apreciate it and that it's a shame they didn't get any in for the sale as the sale and ecb promotes people like me ( a term he used the other night on the phone)to but 4 at a time He said well I can't keep a palet of them siting in the back in hopes that sommeone will buy them He aslo said ( something I find funny) We order on tues to get the merchadise in on fri so there was no time to get any in before tthe end of teh sale funny thing is they had only two on Monday lol lol

7 . "I'm surprised that he did the raincheck for you that way. He must never have seen you check out at the registers. ROFL"

Also, I am amused to hear that they ORDER their own stuff. Think you can get him to order a few more of the One Touch minis?? Muahahah. I can get you a few of the coupons...so you end up with $10 totally free. :P (However, I do NOT suggest having the manager ring you up for that---and it WILL take a mgr or asst mgr to override that coupon.) If he sees you getting the product AND $10 ECB for nada.... Well..... he won't be so happy to help you.

Also, the One Touch coupons DO say limit one PER PERSON. I have never tried to do 2 at the same time...nor multiple transactions at the same time. I DID go in Saturday AND today and get 1 each day. So far no problems...and they let my sister do one as well (told her about it, gave her the coupon, SHE gets the ECB and do I even get a "Thank you"...nope!! GRRR LOL)

But if that deal runs to the end of this month, I won't feel guilty if I space out my purchases. :)
