I just thought that you would like to know.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m at Meijer today since it&#8217;s Super Double coupons again. I got some $1\/1 McCain coupons at Kroger, and Meijer has them for $2.69. They also have a Buy 2, get $1 Meijer Fuel reward. That makes the final price 19 cents a bag. I&#8217;ve gotten them for a better price, but that&#8217;s not bad, especially considering that we eat them a lot, and if we run out, then I get *pressured* to buy more, occasionally for full price <gasp>.<br \/><\/gasp><\/p>\n<p>So, the fuel rewards don&#8217;t print out. I head up to Customer Service. I&#8217;m not that optimistic since the guy up there is a meanie. Some of you may remember back in August when I went through the line of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.regoarrarr.com\/blog\/2005\/08\/august-super-doubles.html\">cashier who was on his first day on the job<\/a>. This is the same guy. Apparently in 3 months he has been promoted to customer service dude. He seems to be fairly intelligent, but I don&#8217;t know if he remembers me and doesn&#8217;t like me, or if he just doesn&#8217;t like coupons, or if he thinks all couponers are out to scam and cheat him, or what, but I&#8217;ve had nothing but problems with him.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some of my coupons from my lunch trip today didn&#8217;t work right, so I was going to go to Customer Service when I first got there to fix that, but when I saw that it was him at the desk, I didn&#8217;t even want to waste my time&#8230; So in any case, I go up there to try and get my fuel rewards. He brings out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centego.com\/meijer\/novRewards.html\">fuel rewards sheet<\/a>, where it says<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;McCain Bites, Fries or Roasters All Varieties 24 or 28 oz (Buy 2) &#8211; $1.00&#8221;. He then asks to see my fries, which I show him, and he tells me that what I bought were not fries. I ask him what they were, and he said they were &#8220;Spirals&#8221;. I knew I wasn&#8217;t going to get anywhere with him so I just took my leave and will try my luck tomorrow with someone else&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Update: I went to a different Meijer today (day after).  Here&#8217;s how the conversation went (paraphrasing since I don&#8217;t remember exactly)<\/p>\n<p>Me: Last time I was here my Meijer Fuel Rewards didn&#8217;t print out<br \/>Customer Service Lady: The what?<br \/>Me: The Meijer Gas rewards<br \/>CSL: Oh.  What was it for?<br \/>Me: McCain French Fries, Buy 2 Get $1.00, and I bought 4.<br \/>CSL: So you need $2<br \/>Me: Yep.<br \/>CSL: I&#8217;m just going to give you 2 dollars cash.<br \/>Me: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These aren&#8217;t french fries.
