Target, my oh my, Target

ok I am OBSESSED WITH TARGET. I thought CVS was bad in a good way lol. I still have so many Qs for free stuff at Target. I just can't go every day lol, even though I want too. This order was only my 2nd trip to target, and I told the cashier before we even started that every item in my cart had a Q, except for the pizza. She called over the manager, and I offered to scan every item, then every corresponding Q. He said that wasn't necessary, and told the cashier to ring it all and then do the Qs. She is not a fellow Q lover lol. So I asked the Manager if there was a limit to how many Qs per item per order per brand, ie only 6 of 1 Q per order is allowed at Shaw's. He said the only Q policy they have is that you can only use 1 Target Q and/or 1 MQ per item. So you can use the Target Bounty Q and the Manufacturer Bounty Q on 1 item. Also your total has to be in the positive. No negative orders allowed. :)

The cashier stopped here, suspended the order and then recalled it. She told me that the product was less than the Q and Target could not sell me the Toothbrushes??? I called over the same manager from before, and asked him if that was true. He said no. We need to adjust the Q. I said oh ok, I didn't think that they would turn away sales. So the Cashier said we can't do that. the amount doesn't match, and she couldn't override the Q amount. At this point I was curious as to why the cashier was telling the manager how to do his job. However he was getting quite upset with the cashier. He told her to override it a dew times, and she kept arguing with him. Then she Brought up the $1.25 Degree Q on the Degree that was $0.97. And she continued to argue that all my Qs were wrong. I said, I bought all the stuff, that's not fair to say. Then she tried the trial size argument and I said, the coupons blatantly do not say a size. Finally the manager said, did you try to scan it? and the cashier said no, because the amount is too high. I said I have 6 Toothbrushes, so just scan 3 $2 Qs, that's fine with me. The Manager scanned the Q, and it came up red, and he overrode it. The cashier started to tell him he was wrong, but he finally had enough and said "that's enough I told you to do it, so do it and take care of the customer that you made wait so long". yet again the Cashier argued with him and said you just gave her $2 on a $0.97 item". He said "I know, and I am telling you to take care of the Customer". The cashier started banging the counter as he walked away. She scanned the other 5 $2/1 Reach TB, and kept mumbling to herself. then she continued to scan: ( Every Item she scanned I showed her that I had it, and read the Q's to make sure they were valid, and she just kept mumbling)
4 $1.25/1 Axe
4 $1.50/1 Axe
2 $1/1 Dove
1 $1/1 Edge
8 $1/1 Reach floss, and this 1 beeped too, so I said these were in the regular aisle and they are $1.02, they should not be beeping for any reason. She said " you got $2 off a 97 cent item 6 times. what do you care, you should be happy with whatever you get". So definitely after that I showed that I had the correct corresponding items. Just to prove the point that she was being rude. She then continued to scan:
1 $5/1 Phys Form
4 $1/1 Bounty (couldn't find Target Qs, P&G $1 Q was in P&G yr of savings book)
2 $1/1 Cottonelle
3 $1.25/1 Tums
1 $1/1 J&J
8 $1/1 Nexcare
4 $1/1 Rayovak
Plus I had Target Qs for about $12...
My total OOP was $2.95 :) :) :) :) :) :) and my receipt says I saved $247.95
After I paid, I walked over to the manager and thanked him for his help. he asked if I was okay with my experience, and I told him that the cashier was extremely rude, and told him why. He apologized, and I said it's okay because you made sure that I was helped, and taken care of. He apologized again and said that He was going to talk to her later.
