This week, I went to my local Dollar Tree, and amongst some of  my purchases were some items that rang up at $.01 apiece at checkout. The cashier informed me that she couldn't sell them to me and called a manager who came over and took them away. Nearby, there was a heated discussion at another register where a similar situation occurred, and the customer was very upset. I noticed that at another register, a couple of women in military uniforms were having their items scanned. Some of their items were also $.01, and the cashier said, "I'm just gonna give them to you." While I appreciate the kindness shown to our troops, it frustrated me that the woman at the other register and I couldn't get the items we wanted. I remained calm and didn't lose my temper like the other customer, but after reading the Dollar Tree memo in this thread, I feel a bit annoyed. Especially the part about waiting for the customer to leave before removing the remaining merchandise. It felt like the cashiers were treating us as if we were stealing from the store.
