Unpleasant Shopping Trip at K-Mart in Granite City, IL

I will keep you guys updated!!!

I stopped in your Granite City, IL K-Mart to pick up an inflatable wading pool for my boys.

Upon entering the store, I went straight back to the pool section and was delighted to see that a sign stating that all pools were on sale!  I looked around for a while and settled on a pool that looked like a Giraffe.  The sign beneath the pool stated that is was $22.99.

When I was checking out, I wanted to be sure that the pool rang up correctly.  I asked my young, male cashier what the pool rang up as.  He told me that it rang up for $43.50.  I told him that price was incorrect.  I told him about the sign and all of the sale tags.  He walked over and asked another cashier and said that no my pool was not $22.99.

I was pretty frustrated because I had seen the sign.  I asked him if it wasn’t $22.99, then how much should it be.  He said the sale price was $43.50.  At this point, I picked up the pool and showed him where it was priced.  I said look this is the original price, what is the sale price?  He told me that the sale price was $43.50 and when it was marked on sale they took off the original price tag.

He was very rude throughout the time.  Then, he promptly just walked off leaving meand a whole line full of people without any explanation.   When he returned, he came back holding a sticker.  He told me that I was wrong and so was he.   He said that the pool was on sale but for $34.50 or $35.50.  At this point I was already upset at his manner and attitude.  I told him that there were a whole stack of pools like the one that I had picked up under the $22.99 price tag and asked him if the store would honor the price because it had been misrepresented on the shelf.  He said and I quote “Ma’m, I could take a Maserati back there and park it in the $22.99 spot, but you couldn’t buy it for $22.99.”  I just kind of blinked.  I asked him if that was the type of customer service that they provided at K-Mart.  He just shook his head.   I asked to talk to a manager.

I gave her a brief run down and what had occurred.  I also told her that I did NOT appreciate being mocked by my cashier.  He asked her, “She gets it for $34.50, right?”  The manager  said no to give it to her for $22.99 and shame on you, you know better to the cashier.

The keyed the price in the system.  At this point, I was shaking I was so upset.  As he hands me the pool, he says “I hope you enjoy your pool, Ma’m!”  in the most sarcastic and rude way that I have ever heard from a cashier.

I stop in this K-Mart store quite frequently.  I enjoy that I can stop on the way home from work.   You have a loose cannon on your hands having that young man work directly with customers.

Also, I manage a savings blog.  I am posting a copy of this letter on my blog to let everyone know about my experience and what K-Mart does or does not do to correct it.

Thank You.

DK's Market - Hamel, IL - Freebies

I don't know if most of you have been to DK's before, but it is a nice little market in Hamel, IL, located about half way between Edwardsville, IL and Highland, IL.  I believe that they are affliated with Super Value.

I received their ad in the mail yesterday.  They are having their 10 for $10 sale this week like Schnucks and Dierbergs.  Anyhow, there are a lot of coupon match ups available.

I have not personally tried this pasta, but I have at least 5-6 of $1.00 coupons for these.  I can't remember the week I would have received them.  Also, I have a Internet printed for Ronzoni Healthy Harvest $1/2 and today I printed off their website $1/2 for the Garden Delight.  I haven't personally tried this pasta, but for free, I plan on giving it a try!!

A couple of weeks ago, at least, there was a printable coupon for $1/1 on Dole Salad mixes.  So this makes my salad free as well.  I remember that it was a Smart Source coupon, but do not know if it is still available.

I will probably price match these at Wal-Mart if they have them.  I like going to DK's, but I already need to run to Wal-Mart to pick up a ton of things and do not wish to double back.

DK's has started posting their ad online.  Click here to go to DK's website to view their entire ad.  These prices and deals are good from now until Jun 6th!

Enjoy and happy shopping!
