Screwed at Kmart

Apparently, the folks at Sears have managed to mess up Kmart even more than it already is. When my mom and I went to a local Kmart and bought a trash bin for the bathroom, they overcharged us by US$4.00- The shelf tag said $8.00, but the cash register said it was $12.00!!! My mom was TOTALLY pissed. Talk about getting screwed royally. Now I'm no lawyer, but aren't the prices in the cash register's computers supposed to match what's shown on the shelf tag? It's the law, if I'm not mistaken.

And, get this, my mother complained to the person who checks your packages when you leave the store, and she was like, "what do I care!" Customer service, my ASS!

NEVER ever again will I be shopping there!!! I don't give a shit if it's the last discount store in the planet. At least Target and WalMart do a hell of a lot better job at getting things right! The folks in Hoffman Estates need to get their asses in gear!!

Hoda's Battle with Breast Cancer-MSNBC.com

When I was sitting around the house on Mardi Gras, we saw Hoda Kotb and Al Roker riding in Argus. It so happened that the Times-Picayune's Dave Walker did a column on Hoda, and in it, she revealed that she is a breast cancer survivor. Who knew? Well, it seems that millions have heard about her battle with the disease via the NBC News program "Today." She even discusses it openly with co-anchor Ann Curry.

It's very poignant, and very important information that all women (and the men in their lives, too!!) should hear. Click the title of this post to view it.
