Randomness: BOYCOTTING!!!! You don't mess with me.

I will NEVER shop at any Jo Anns again.
Nor will my husband who spends hundreds of dollars here a week on supplies.
I went in to buy some stuffing... there was a red sale sign on a bin of 20 oz. stuffing... for 2.99...so I grabbed the last 4 bags...and waited in a long line of people to be rung up at the register.
Finally an older asian woman rings me up...and I notice the bags are ringing up at 4.99... so I say oh those are on sale...
she says no they arent
I say Yes they are!!!! Go check the sale sign.
She does... she doesnt want to... but she does..
she comes back and says there is no sign..
So I go back to take a look... and low and behold... its gone!!!!
I ask if she took it down... she says no...
Now, people... I am not a liar... I saw a big red sale sign... with the price of 2.99...
I ask her again...and she still denies it...
I saw that freakin sign 10 minutes ago... the woman took it down and hid it... cause it is nowhere to be seen....
So.. I say fine.. I dont really care what the price is... thats not the issue...
when I get back she goes to talk to the manager... and I am at her register...
she tells him I said there was a sale sign and it wasnt there... I say it was... and that someone took it down... he yells across the store at me... in front of several customers..."I WILL NOT HONOR THAT!!!!" What the????
I worked several years thru college in retail... managers do not say that... I know customer service... you at the very least come and talk to the customer... YOU DO NOT YELL ACROSS THE STORE AT SOMEONE....
I said fine... just finish ringing me up, I want to leave...
I apologized to the lovely woman behind me who says she would do the same thing...
and I get my stuffing... take one last look at the stuffing aisle... for the red sign...cant find it and head out...

Really? did this just happen to me? Did this woman just hide a sign... and cause all this drama???

I literally got more angry as I got in my car... I literally had to sit in my car for 5 minutes for fear of being unable to stop myself from driving Eddies SUV into the Store.... probably wouldn't look to good on my part. I might look a little out of control.
But at least the SUV would be a good enough size to cause some major damage...

Anyways... yes I dream of revenge... but no I am not stupid... I will do it in a smart way... with letters to their corporate office... and by spreading my distaste for them on the World Wide Web!!!!

I had to call Eddie to calm myself down... and then a quick stop at Starbucks... to get a chai latte... a Venti... cause I needed it.

Now that I have had a couple hours to calm down... and gather my thoughts... I am still shocked at what hapened... Im not gonna lie... I know I can be a hard customer to deal with... I worked in retail, restaurants, at a college, on commercials, tv, reality shows, on movies, as a caterer, a babysitter, a volunteer.... Ive done a lot... and I feel like at the very least on my worst days... I have been honest, and a human. We all have our bad days... just be a decent person.
CAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO MESS WITH THE WRONG PERSON... And I may just be that person.
