Or perhaps other people talked to the manager since the manager, not the cashier, runs the store. Or perhaps the magazine push just ran its course because these things typically only happen for a few weeks. When I worked at Blockbuster years ago there were usually 6-8 promotions/incentives/up-sells that we cycled thru annually.Apparently it does. I say this because they STOPPED pushing them at the counter. I doubt this was a result of just me, though they heard it a lot from me as I'm a business customer and spend a lot of cash per year there. It's a bunch of people like me that get things changed. Perhaps they just decided to stop pushing it? We'll never know.
I'm not trying to say that if you are dissatisfied you should keep it to yourself I'm just staying there's no point in voicing your displeasure to someone who is powerless to help resolve your issue. Talk to someone working in customer service or talk to a manager. When I worked in retail management I always made sure my cashiers were quick to pass problems up to me because the alternative is having two people who can't fix the problem (the cashier and the customer) just getting frustrated w/each other. When dealing w/a big chain if you really want results you need to get out of the store level and contact the district or regional manager. Those people tend to not like it when customer complaints aren't handled at the store level and will typically bend over backwards to make the customer happy (even if the customer is in the wrong).Could all of this be a coincidence? There's a good chance. But it sure can't hurt.
Saying you made a "scene" just kinda set me off 'cause I have experienced grown adults throwing temper tantrums at cashiers even though the cashier has absolutely no power to resolve the issue at hand and doesn't deserve to be yelled at by a self-centered douche-bag who enjoys treating store employees as whipping boys.
Me? Bitter? Whatever would've given you that idea?
