brief summary of how to argue w a cashier

1) Remind cashier of store’s coupon policy. Show them in writing.
2) Do not let them just walk away
3) Ask again politely
4) Tell the cashier the first thing you will do is call corporate
5) Tell the cashier you will then contact the BBB and a local newspaper
6) Tell the cashier you will then contact the manufacturer
7) Tell the cashier that if this is an ongoing problem you will also file a complaint with the attorney general of your state, and you will put the cashier’s name in ALL of the above mentioned documents
8) Ask again politely
9) Turn on the “video camera” on your cell phone. If your cell phone does not really have a video camera just pretend it does and hold it up as if you are videotaping the cashier.
10) If the cashier says anything about the “video camera” just ignore him. It is not illegal to film him or in the store without permission. You are not trespassing unless he specifically asks you to leave the property. If he wants to call the cops let him, but of course they will laugh at him when they show up since you are not doing anything remotely illegal.
11) If anyone working there DOES ask you to leave the store, then you need to do so immediately.
12) Now that your “video camera” is running, ask to speak to a manager.
13) On “camera” ask the manager specifically what the problem is with the coupons.
14) If the manager is different then the previous person go back to #1
15) If the manager still refuses the coupons, and you are sure you are correct then leave the store and follow through with steps 4, 5, 6, and 7.
16) Wait patiently for results.
