I went down to Nashville with both kids in tow and used all kinds of bribery (and a few threats) to keep my four-year old from meandering off. (She did this the last time she accompanied me to Publix, and we had to search for her, call her name over the intercom...it was scary). Anyway, she was pretty good, since we were there for 2 hours (not only was it triples, but also senior day, so it was PACKED!!!), she certainly wasn't at a loss for attention from all the little old ladies and grandpas. :)
Anyway, I was thrilled to get all the things I wanted. Nothing was out of stock (yet) and I picked up a few other things as well. I didn't get to Publix so I plan on going back Monday and get some more triples items while I'm down there. :) (the non-mega things)
I had miscalculated tax (I'm not feeling well, so my brain is a little fuzzy) so I went under on three of four orders and had to add random things from the checkout- gum and a magazine). The fourth order I had picked up some batteries which were on the cardboard display marked $2.00. They rang up $5.99. I went ahead and paid for the transaction and took it to CS, and had a fun convo with the guy working. He told me, oh, I don't think those are included. I said, well, if they're not, I'm not sure why they're on the display. That's the only price on the entire display. (In my head I was thinking, I certainly can't GUESS how much they are). Anyway, so he reimbursed me the difference of $3.99+tax. Technically, they're supposed to give it to you free if it rings up wrong, but he seemed to be in a bad mood and I was ready to go, so no biggie.
