But it's totally ok with company policy for them to take your Fred Meyer fuel points after you decided you don't want them, and thus them technically not even spawning into existence yet?

Cus I kinda doubt that it is. Companies ain't known for giving their employees extra compensation they can get away with not giving.

let me tell you a story

I went to stines, a hardware store, to buy some tape. next to the register were these little starter pots of herbs, 50c each
I bought 8, and they rang up for a dollar each. after paying I noticed and brought it up to the cashier.

she asked me for a phone number

I was like “what? just give me four dollars back I literally paid with cash it’s right there”

and she said she had to put a phone number in to start the return
so I told her to use her number and she said she couldnt or they’d think she was stealing so then this older guy came up and was trying to calm me down and I’m like “I’m calm motherfuckers I’m just not about to rattle off any of my details for a $4 mistake your cash register made” and the girl was like “nobody wants to hack your information” and the old guy was acting like he was going to call the cops because I was raising my voice

I guess if that's their job they should get yelled at. We all have to do our job, even if we don't like it! And I've probably made their life very difficult with unnecessary hostility, which, as a former retail worker, I ought to recognize is wrong.

I think I'm just going to chill from now on and stop trying to be a rock in the river of commerce. "Let it go" is my new motto.

If a place just needs a phone number to confirm an account and it’s not like an app you clip coupons for using the local area code plus that number p much always works. I did that for a long time before the stores near me moved to digital coupons

I once went to a shoe store where the cashier would not let me proceed without giving them a phone number, and I didn't want to bother because I was out of town and it was a chain place that doesn't exist near me

But you won't find me there, 'cause I won't go back again...
While you're on smoky roads, I'll be out in the sun...
Where the trees still grow, where they count by one...
People who take their frustration out on entry level cashiers and poo poo suck. Yet I also sympathize with people who get screwed and have no recourse.

I once dropped money on some special phone plan to allow my phone to work in another country. I described my needs at the phone store and they signed me up, showed me how to do it, and took my money.

Well I had to meet somebody in a boat at a remote landing and the journey was more than half a days drive. A few hours out I tried to call them. No go.

Eventually I stopped at a gas station and they let me use their phone and I made that work, but it ultimately cost everybody a good chunk more time (not to mention the stress of them not being able to reach me when they called to check my progress). And I couldn't use my phone until I returned home.

When I returned to the store they just flat out said I was beat. The service they'd sold me for one reason was useless, and my money would not be returned. I was paycheck to paycheck behind a counter myself at the time, so I didn't want to take it out on the register guy. I was furious though and he could tell and seemed honestly scared. He gave me a number to call but warned me it would be useless. It was. What the gently caress.
