Lisle Wags gets new registers

In one sentence:  They Suck!  and in case you didn’t get it the first time:  THEY TRIPLE DOG DARE SUCK!

Stopped in to pick up just a few of the Snickers eggs.  Shelf tag reads .59 or 2/$1.  Which is great, ’cause I don’t want any sales to mess up my deal – just gimme my candy for tax and I’m outa there.  Rang up six eggs and used three coupons:  51¢.  Okay, in what universe do they charge 17% on a purchase?  Well, obviously this is the way Illinois is heading, but at the present time, the tax is 7.25% in Lisle.  Which is one nice thing about these registers – they show you all the charges as they are rung up and you see the tax percent and amount – sweet.  Well, the register was ringing them up at a sale price of 39¢ and only taking off two of the coupons.  Figured I’d add another two eggs to bring it up to $3.12, then take off the $3 in coupons.  Doable, but not the best deal.

Can’t get the register to accept anything – it doesn’t show any difference after entering the two additional eggs.  Asst Mgr keeps trying to override the system and is finally able to do something with it.  Ends up at .35¢ and we bolt.  I can only imagine the pain our large transactions will cause.

    • You mean your emails saying THEY SUCK over and over and over. And yet again in case I missed the first 15? Okay, you win — you were right! They are HORRIBLE! Thank the stars we have brain-functioning people working at our Wags ’cause otherwise we’d be screwed. But they do show the tax rate and amount and that’s got to count for something, imo.
