if you're wondering why i went so far over a $10 subtotal...
i wasn't planning to buy the newspapers. the cashier started scanning items before my card. therefore the sale prices did not come up. after my coupons, he gave me the total before pressing total. i gave him $5 ecb, then he hit total, the sale prices came off and i was in the negative. so i grabbed the newspapers from my boyfriend (waiting in line behind me) and added them to my order. then i had to refigure his order as well. thats the way it goes sometimes...

... cashier scanned all other coupons and put my $2 off $10 to the side, then told me i could not use it because i needed to have a $10 purchase after all other coupons. i informed her that this has not been the case with other stores or other cashiers and she asked me to call the cvs 800 #. so i did. of course the customer service rep said i should have been able to use it and that she would contact the store to make sure they have the policy straight. and i will receive an extra $2 ecb for my trouble. i've always said i would never call over a couple of dollars with all the $ i save at cvs, but i've heard from others that this particular cashier does this to everyone and i felt like somebody had to straighten her out!
