Know the Prices...Watch it Scan

Over the past two days at two separate stores I have had issues arise at the register. I went to Target with my son looking for the extremely hard to find Wham Shell Skylander. We did not find Wham Shell, but did find a Kingdom Hearts Strategy Guide in the Clearance Section of Electronics. While looking at other things I noticed a 50% off section with summer dishware. I picked up 6 bowls even though they don't match our current dishes and bowls for .89 cents a piece that's not bad. However, neither item had a clearance sticker. Scanned the two items at the price scanner and they were scanning at full price. Hmm...Head to the checkout, tell the cashier where I found them both, even though there was no sticker the manager who was helping bag my order said to give me 30% off of both items. I took that for the Strategy Guide, but the bowls I know was in a 50% off section so I passed on them. The cashier was not happy with me for speaking up about the prices, but I knew I was entitled to it and wasn't going to back down. We were running low on cereal and I know that Stop and Shop this week has General Mills Cereal on sale 2/5. When you buy 4 boxes of qualifying General Mills Cereal in one transaction you get a Free Milk Coupon. Let me tell you finding four boxes was hard. They only have Cheerios, Multi-Grain Cheerios, Apple Cinnamon Chex, Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs, Fiber One Nutty Clusters and Almonds on sale. I managed to find 4 boxes among that list and the correct ozs as well. Checked out, receipt prints, but no coupon for the free Milk. I questioned the cashier he said, Oh my printer doesn't print coupons. He called over someone in a purple shirt, he researched it, came back said he couldn't force a coupon to print, but he would give me $4.50 cash back. If I did not read the ad or the signs in the cereal section I would have been shorted a coupon or the $4.50. Know what the prices are of the things you are getting, watch them scan, speak up if something doesn't look right.
