I never thought the show would affect me because I only go to a couple of stores. I was wrong.
I went to the only CVS I go to this week and the manager was checking me out. I used 5 of the same coupons and the conversation went like this -
Her - "Do you use all this stuff?"
Me- "Yes."
Her- "Well, I just saw this show on cable about coupon HOADERS and they just buy the stuff to make them feel better. I used to be like that, because of clearance and employee discount, but then realized I was hoarding so I quit. If you're buying more than you can use, it could be a problem."
Me - :holy:
She was seriously questioning my mental state??!!!!!
I just blinked blankly at her (she rang all coupons and order was fine).
I just couldn't believe I'd been shopping there for years using coupons and she felt the need to call me out because of seeing "a cable show". This is a CVS manager.
It was like a "oh, that explains it" moment for her while watching this "cable show".
:ranting:
