That $20 Butterball turkey check is a waste

It was really a nice thought, and that was about it. The $20 turkey check that no one will take. The Butterball turkey check, that my wife got from her employer, has been hanging around and will soon expire.  Grandma did Christmas this year again, so we didn’t buy a turkey, didn’t need one. So I figured I would get some groceries with it. Because on the check stub it says, “For Butterball products AND GROCERIES for your holiday meal.” or words to that effect.  

One store I went to, The Market at Birch Bay, doesn’t do two party checks. That was fine, that is their policy. The Haggen store that I went to would only sell me $20 worth of turkey.  The checker first told me I could use it there. But then when I got to the checkout, I was told I couldn’t use it to buy a Butterball turkey breast that cost $12 and get the rest in other groceries. Of course, there wasn’t a manager around to confirm that, but I get the feeling that would have been their response also.

If it was a $20 off coupon for a turkey and I was trying to get “the trimmings” for the holiday meal with the coupon, I would understand the denial. Fred Meyer stores in the past have not had a problem with me using it, but the locally owned stores wouldn’t. I didn’t want to drive an extra miles to go to Fred Meyer

So that is my bitch tonight.  I got a little upset when one of the Haggen checkers told me that I could buy another turkey breast at $12. I told them to take the damn turkey back. I didn’t want two fecking turkey breasts, I just wanted to get some damn groceries. So other than the fact I had to go to Haggen to get my bus pass, it was a waste of time and gas to go shopping there. I could have got the same stuff at The Market, which is a hell of a lot closer.

Well this really sucks.  The cable is off. We will be offline hopefully only for a few days.  I am hoping this posts to FB but I am not sure if it will. That is blocked at work. Wish us luck.

See you in a few days
