Chuck E. Cheese, thank you!

My mother came over earlier to pick my 2 year old daughter up to take her to Chuck E. Cheese. Well, she's just like me and is a complete klutz. She walked right into something and has a black eye now. My mom didn't complain because it was my daughter's fault, but did fill out an incident report. The manager gave her a teddy bear, a ticket worth 100 tickets, and about 50 tokens. I'm very happy to see how Chuck E. Cheese handled this, even though it was my daughter's fault. We always liked going there, and I'm happy to go there again now.

I always like to see how associates are with children, and I've only had a few bad experiences with that. I was watched a child flip out of the cart and the manager started screaming at the mother for not being more careful, all while this child is bleeding and screaming/crying.

Should I write an email or call the manager at the store to say that I was happy how this was handled and thanks??

MM Deal at CVS

This week at CVS, there is a deal going on where you buy 2 sunglasses and you receive a $10 ECB back. Well, it seems like the trial sized gods did it for us again. If you buy 2 of the Lens Cleaning Tissues at 99¢ each, it also triggers the ECB, making it an $8 MM. The UPC is 8 83019 00550 7. Here's a picture:

I'm still looking for more of those Glade tin candles, they are amazing!!! They are on a temporary price cut through June 22nd for $1.67, and have $1.50/1 coupons right inside the lid! Oh and a little FYI on the juice boxes, because I did not type the prices wrong. Every once in a while, Target screws up. We all do. Well, these packages are supposed to be at the food counter sold individually, not on the shelves. So, you are charged the price of one instead. And don't worry, I've spoke to both corporate and a few different managers about this. If you find one, you get to buy it for the price it rings up (either $0.59 for the MP or $0.69 for the MM)! Happy shopping!!
