Run in with a Walgreens Mgr over some Swedish Fish (1 Viewer)

[northern exposure]

I was just thinking how much you remind me of poor Jerry Sandusky.

Whatever profession you are a part of you're a disgrace. That's about as crude a statement as I have ever seen on the FFA. Thankfully though this is a faceless internet board because we all know the little sack you carry couldn't handle balls big enough to mutter that in real life now don't we?Bye Bye, off to the ignore board you go. Ask others, it's just not as much fun when the other person never answers back.

MOP, overreacting in the FFA since 2003.

I dunno. You both seem to be turned on by juvenile ####.

The guy was gonna give it to you for the discount

I was there so I understand...did I not relay the parts of where he looked at me like I he didn't believe me. he could have just given me the discount without the walk 5 aisles, I should have just left with my Rx right then. But then when we went to the aisle he still wanted to argue with me, he seemed to be getting pleasure out of my condition and I was getting fed up. When he came back and said to the clerk "Yeah I guess I can you can give it to him for that"...like he was doing me a favor, that is when I had enough and blew up and said just charge me the full price, I'm not a ####### thief and swiped my card thru and sung his praises as I was walking out of the store. You shoulda been there

After having been witness to scenes like this one way too many times, I'm glad I was not there. I'm sure the Walgreen's Manager didn't have a personal vendetta against you, so you had a huge overreaction.

No, see, he looked at him like he didn't believe him. You're not understanding.

True and he was getting pleasure out of MOP's weakened condition....continue on MOP!

would you have used your credit card when it was $4 or did you only pull out the plastic when it went to $6?

 

[kupcho1]

When I saw 3/$4 I thought for sure there'd be math involved

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I want to punch that manager in the face right now. Oh how I hate him.

Had surgery a week ago...should I have gone with a Mike and Ike as my recovery food?

I'm kind of ticked off that MoP didn't push this issue further. Times are rough out there and this ####er is acting like he's too good to service customers. Kick his ### to the back of the line and then we'll see what kind of lip he's giving the customers.

What location Walgreen's are we talking about here? I have airline miles to burn.

 

[flapgreen]

Wow, this is really starting to piss me off.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Only had hundreds in my pocket, god's honest truth.

Me, you and Dr J will fly in and wreck that ####.

Congrats MOP, you are on par with the lady in my restaurant who complained about the portion size of her child's $1.99 meal.

Really? Did she complain for racially tinged reasons? Or start a double digit paged message board thread about it? Or compare her persecution to that of the defenseless Jerry Sandusky?I think he's well beyond her level, thank you very much.

Does attempting to embarrass a server while making an ### of herself equate?

 

[DocGonzo]

ministroni of pain you should just close up shop on this one and quit well you are ahead cripes i log back here for the first time in a long time and bam just like old times mister progresso ministrony is all mad and now he is even new and improved with just a hint of racism for flavoring well amigo let me tell you this i eat a lot of soups and i do not want a bowl of that action too spicy for this old hound dog from down under so hey try this one one for size soup man try being nice to everyone and even when you think they are desrepecting you just keep on being nice and then when you get home and have a beer you can say man i feel pretty good about helping someone who was having a bad day out by being good to that brohan from another mothran and you will think to yourselv that is the high life right there and bam i am living it so take that to the bank but because you got racism you are not a brohan sorry to say my man bam another mystery solved by the old swcer

I don't think I've ever even attempted to read one of these screeds. Are they worth it? Would it lose something with proper punctuation and fluidity?

I read them in the voice of a hillbilly dude I used to smoke the herb with. Cracks me up every single time. I should call that guy.

No, because she sounds unreasonable. In this case you have a guy that's fighting the good fight for the common people who for whatever reason aren't capable of speaking up for themselves. I've seen at least 3 other people in here talking about Walgreen's trying to run the same scam on them. This is a place that our old and vulnerable frequent, that's where these guys actually pull in their bucks. Glad we're back to the original topic before this whole thing got off track with the racism stuff. Walgreen's headquarters is down the street from me. I work with a guy whose wife is pretty big there as in he's a big shot running out help desk and his salary is a pittance compared to hers. I'm definitely in on the DD and St Louis Bob thing, so there's actually several avenues we can take this whole thing if you really want to go there. Just say the word man.

 

[Raider Nation]

"...over some Swedish Fish" in the title is so though.

 

[cstu]

with nearly every post your racism becomes more evident MOP. the "i have lots of black friends" doesn't work. never has.& spare me the "you must live in white america speech" i grew up in la otra cuidad, los angeles. and not the white part, as you would put it. i born and raised in central LA, echo park and downtown. most billboards etc are in another language other than english.

So you sucked it up and learned Spanish then? As much as I want to be all politically correct super-liberal guy it also pisses me off when I go into a store and the supposed "customer service representative" can't even understand the English language.

 

[Daywalker]

"...over some Swedish Fish" in the title is so though.

The Swedish fish episode.Pretty strong for what is this season 9? The resurgence is similar to when the Black's moved in with LD.

Do you think MOP pauses toast?

Neither MOP nor his toast will ever lose it's essence.

I was gonna switch the title to something like "Saved baby from burning building", change the OP around a bit...guess I'll leave it alone.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

I think MOP is getting a bad rep here. I have plenty of racist friends and those people aren't all that bad once you get to know them.

 

[gsmayes]

I had to google what swedish fish are...it's the same damn thing as gummy bears but in a different shape! Why even switch up a single bag when it's the same kind of candy?

Red Swedish fish are nothing like gummy bears. I can't believe these aren't as common as I thought.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

How do people not know what Swedish fish are? Live in a cave(w/wifi)?

Never heard of them until this thread. Lived in Michigan 30 years, NYC 14, Charleston (SC) 6.

Not the same

You people who never heard of swedish fish are more bizarre than MOP

This post made me crack up

 

[squistion]

Yes, a cave known as L.A. Never heard of them until this thread.

One of my nephews loves Swedish Fish. I take my nephews to Walgreens often, and they usually get the 3 for $4 box candy deal. I've never seen a bag of gummy bears included in the deal, because it's just for box candy. Maybe it's different in Miami. Anyway, they usually get Mike and Ikes, Twizzler Bites (or Jujyfruits), and Swedish Fish. I'm not fond of Swedish Fish. They are thick and chewy, and when I tried one I felt like I was chewing a fishing lure.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I'd never heard of Swedish Fish, and I won't be disappointed if I never hear of them again.

 

[sho nuff]

People who are amazed that someone in this country may not have heard of a candy thats not exactly some major thing are quite odd.

Whats so shocking about someone not knowing what a freakin Swedish Fish is.

Its not like he got into a fight over some M&Ms or something.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I've heard of Swedish Fish and maybe vaguely knew what they were, but I don't think I've ever seen then in stores before. Or maybe I just ignored them.

 

[shadyridr]

Lmfao swedish fish is not a regional thing morons. Its a ####in candy product. Its exactly like m&ms (ok not the flavor. I gotta spell it out for you jackholes)

 

[BobbyLayne]

Do people keep buying candy (not for their kids) in their 30s and 40s? I remember buying a couple favorites (starburst, twizzlers) in my late teens and early 20s. But except for obvious occasions like Halloween/xmas/Easter, I can't remember buying candy for myself or S.O. in the last 30 years or so.

Normal or weird?

I'd expect more from a senior member.

 

[gsmayes]

I've lived in SoCal, Michigan and NYC. Of course, I've never done an exhaustive walgreens candy aisle survey in any of these places.

Really?Exactly like a major brand of Candy thats in everything from cookies to blizzards?How in the hell are they exactly the same.One is a huge national brand that does a ton of advertising.The other many people have no clue what the hell they are.

Good to have a little sugar from time to time even as an adult.We buy them for us and for the kids if we are doing a movie night at the house.Get the huge boxes like at the theater (or to sneak into the theater because better buying them at $1 a box than to pay what they are in the theater)
