8/4 CVS run

Royally screwed up this run. I had everything strategically planned out with 3 transactions and everything I would pay OOP and go off without a hitch. I should have known that something somewhere would go horribly wrong. They were out of some of the items I wanted, but then I thought I had found the correct item (turned out I was wrong) so the cashier fought with me that my total was correct when I knew it was higher than I wanted it to be so finally she turned the screen around so I could see it and told her to void some of the items. Trouble was she had already scanned in some of my ECB's so I was negative when she voided the items resulting in her voiding some of the ECB's and forgetting to give me back $1.98 of voided ECB's. Ick, I was too frazzled to argue with her though so I took my loss and left. Here's how they went down:
