CVS Coupon Crazed

Today, three days after I called in my perscription refill, I finally went to CVS to pick up the stuff. I troll around for some toiletries, look at some cards, and read some labels, and make my way to the pharmacy. I realize that my usual pharmacy assistant is not there and someone new is waiting on me. She examines my purchases, asking me where she could find Biore strips. I said, ugh, don't you work here? She said well I was in a different store. I thought all CVS's were the same - and in fact figured all Biore strips would be in the, I don't know, facial products isle. But I let it go. She then proceeded to tell me that she cannot find her shampoo in the CVS because she has to use a special shampoo because she is losing her hair. I do something that is typical Kar, I ask the question - what kind of shampoo costs $25? She tell me Biolage. I reply, oh Systeme Biolage, with the accent. She doesn't laugh at the joke and instead showed me how the humidity really makes the bald pattern prominent. I am thinking two things 1. this is a perfect example of why I cannot stop being a busy body; and 2. is this really happening. I was also thinking that I am trapped until she finishes ringing up my order.

I was wrong in thinking that I was free once my order was finito. Wrong! Nosalina started reading my coupons aloud. She said, Oh you have $5.00 extra bucks, and $2.00 off tampons. I looked around like - where is the camera on this one? She then said well, not that you need it but you can have $15.00 off of anti-age, anti-wrinkle, detoxifying lotion. You know, she followed, they start selling us this shit when we are 15. Next thing you know we'll all be getting botox and we'll look like this: and then she made a face that could only be described as a botoxed scarecrow, or Joan Rivers. I fell onto the counter laughing and my ass hit the guy who was beet red from laughing - probably at knowing that tampons were on sale with the coupon, or from me assing him in the pee-pee.
