I stopped by Safeway to get my coffee this morning. Then, I decided to pick up some cheap cereal, too.
In their ad, Post cereals were 4 for $6. Well, I should know better. The deal at Safeway, especially this one particular store, is a hassle. I bought 4 boxes, and rang up as $10. The register was supposed to take $4 off at the end of the transaction!! I know this cashier in the early morning shift who has "I just work here" attitude. So, it's a waste of time to talk to her. I asked her about the deal anyway, but of course her answer was "I don't know anything about it." HELLOOOO!! Check your store flyer!!
So, I have to stop by the customer service this evening on my way home. Crap!
I want to tell Safeway management. You have very nice promotions, but your execution SUCKS!! Many products are not tagged correctly, not registered in the computer, talking to a cashier is a hassle, and sometimes customer service is a joke. I wonder if they are serious about staying in business.
By the way, assuming this deal works as it supposed to, the deal is like this.
4 boxes of Post cereals.
Sale price $2.5 per box x 4 = $10
Promotion discount -$4 (You need to buy 4 in one shopping order.)
Coupons $1/2 x 2 = -$2
Then, they will give you $3 catalina, a coupon you can use for next shopping.
Final price, $1 for 4 boxes of cereal. 25 cents per box.
UPDATE
I stopped by the store after work, and got my $4 back!! Yeah!
Stupid Safeway
