You should watch your receipts, but this woman has abused the system.

There are reasonable ways to take care of issues.

I'm sure the system hasn't changed much in the ensuing years, but 20 odd years ago, the manager would print out the daily price changes in a batch, hand it to the stock staff, and have them make the changes. Now, you're doing this at 0dark 30, coffee hasn't kicked in yet, and being that the stock staff is normally teens/college kids, they may be more interested in flirting with the other employees and socializing than doing their jobs.

If the changes aren't made properly, the first notice the manager normally has is a customer complaining about the price not being correct.

Not everyone is out to screw you, but this plaintiff certainly seems to have a chip on her shoulder.

Exactly !!! But of course the perception within some of community is "Hey, they've made a blue, I will cash in on that, and never mind about the time some poor goofball on the checkout gave me change for a ten when I'd only handed her a five. I'm right, they are wrong, and I can prove it. All I need is some lawyer to defend my 2 cents worth. And God only knows, there's plenty of them around"

It is totally ridiculous and there should be a limit to what someone can sue for. This woman needs her head examined.

The court system is in bad enough shape w/o some moron trying to 'make a point' over 2 cents.

I cannot imagine a store manager telling a customer to get lost over two cents, when I have had a problem with a item/charge, I have always been taken care of rather nicely.....It helps to be a overly polite suck-up at times?

Back to the court system?

During the mess with my parents estate I never got any kind of phone call or TIMELY mail from the court about ANY action regarding the property. I made NUMEROUS phone calls and left messages, but was never even afforded a call back or an EFF U in return.

The court case is still going on-when it was time for them to get a company auction the house, schedule the house, get it to go into escrow and a get the family a ton of OTHER info, they could not be bothered. It's a slow system that wears you down.

They did get you some kind of mailing or letter AFTER the fact but to say that the 'wheels of justice' turn slowly?

It's all because of people who are clogging the system down with stupid lawsuits and a system that doesn't give a damn about the people, by the people and for the people.....

It is $$$$ to the lawyer, by the lawyer, for the lawyer.

Besides pro sports, where else can you lose and still get paid?

I have a tenant in one of my houses called Bob. What about Bob ?? You say ??
Ok....I'll tell ya. Bob went thru a pretty messy seperation from his partner a couple of years ago, they have a 5 year old daughter. His ex stuffed him around with access to the child for the past 2 years, so much so, that he seen his little girl for like 4 hours a month. His ex did this because she is an **shole, and because she could....with help from lawyers of course.
His own lawyers just kept stuffing him around, court case here, court case there, cost him heaps of money. Bob is a pretty proud sort of a guy, keeps to himself and never asks for help from people.....I approached him a number of times about his plight and offered him my help, and finally he listened and I sat him down and told him exactly what his rights were in regards to family law.
I told him to get rid of the idiot law partnership he was using, and go see a lone practicing lawyer who I know. Within 4 weeks he had gained access to his little girl, he now gets her every weekend and a couple of afternoons a week.
I also told him to take the money he owes to the first law partnership he used, stick it up their butts and light it....because that is what they deserve.

Talk about bogging the courts up.......those lawyers did it to line their own pockets with dollars, they didn't give a hoot about Bob's plight. Honesty or compassion is not a part of their agenda, harvesting money is.
