Little Disagreements…
Tonight I had dinner with a friend of mine who I’m also going on a cruise with in less than a month. We had a really great filet mignon, and then walked across the parking lot to Bed, Bath, & Beyond. M. had some items to return for a store credit, and we both had a “magic” $5.00 off coupon for spending more than $15.00 to use.
We both decided to buy a Yankee candle (Christmas Wreath) that was already 25% off. When we applied our coupon, the total would have been $12.24 each. There was a sign that said if you bought $30.00 worth of candles, you would receive a free smaller Yankee candle. The sales associate mentioned that one of us should buy the candles, pay the other, and get the “freebie.”
At the register, M. balked and said it would “mess up” her return, we couldn’t use both coupons, (even though the sales associate assured us we could) and who would get the free candle? I admit I wanted it to give as a little gift to one of the secretaries in my office. However, the important issue was that one of us received it. M. refused.
I thrive on “logic,” and this seemed so “illogical” to me. This took place a few minutes after M. couldn’t find her keys after leaving the restaurant and found them after I asked if she looked in the front pocket of her purse. They were there, and I promptly told (albeit in jest) f**k you. mmkay…
At work I have to deal with stressful situations and the last thing I needed was more “drama” on a Friday night after a long week. I walked out of the store and drove home.
My little girl (who is only three) always tells me, “Save the drama for your mamma!” I laugh every time!
I so dislike drama. Life is just too short. Good for you for leaving.
I love the smell of the Christmas candle!
I think I would have bought two candles myself and then I would have gotten the free one myself too. :Sigh: I don’t do drama well either.
Hope your Saturday is off to a better start.
you wouldn’t have had $30 worth of purchases anyway…so you would not have been able to get the extra candle anyway…logic…
