$8 after coupons

The cashier argued with me a little about the ALL
coupons. First she said I didn't purchase it and then
she asked how much they were. She was trying to
insinuate that I was trying to get overage. The coupon
was for $1 off and the travel size was $1.04. The coupon
said ANY size. I didn't say anything other than the price.
I was going to tell I didn't want them but she went ahead
and put it through. She was very annoyed and gave me
an attitude though. Sheesh!
