That would be silly... save the receipt and bring it to the service
desk NEXT visit. Usually it's more involved to correct an error at
the register once it's rung up, can wait several minutes for some
underling manager to arrive with a register key who hasn't a clue how
to correct errors, who needs to page a higher up manager for help.
It's much more expedient to go to the service desk with the receipt
next visit. Besides I enjoy going to the service desk, the gal there
is a cute 40ish, no more than 5'2" and always wears one of those loose
fitting scoop necked smocks... I know for certain by how she smiles at
me and leans way over that she knows I'm examining her expansive
cleavage down to her navel... only negative is that she wears cheapo
white cotton playtex bras. One day I'll have to find an opportunity
to suggest Olga.
