Adventure in spending the gift card

Ok silly me. Here I am at the mall with 3 teens. 2 stay with me and one disownes me. Well I'm walking the mall like a real loser with 2 kiddy and 2 gift cards for the mall that have 6.11 on one and 3.xx on the other. would you believe I had a hard time spending them. WHY~? cuz these idiots who work the registers don't know how to take them. First up JCPENNY can't spend it there so I end up spending 14.52 on a pair of jeans for daughter. Nice but could have been better using up the cards or even 1 card. Next lets eat. SUBWAY assitant manager can't figure out how to use the card so that we can pay the difference. argh another $10+ dollars. Try taco bell. cashier says these never work, I don't know why you bothered to get one. (me either however they were GIFT cards,,, duh) ok so we can't spend over the $3.00 or over the $6.00 hmmmm next up Dollar store. Nope. has to be over $5.00 but not over 6 next. This is ridiculous. Next up Mrs Fields they take the $6.00 and we have $1.99 left (I didn't understand the math on that but whatever) 1.99 great. Hey they have pop $1.00 each. Done. Possible tax so here is $1.00 send son. Son comes back with a look. what? she took the $1.00 because we only had 1.99 and it came to 2.00 so she took the other dollar and left us with .99 cents on it.
I'm fried. Lets go to the book store and read while we wait for older daughter. Here I'm reading a clean eating diet book several people gave me funny looks as I was sitting there minding my own business and of course holding onto a Mrs Fields cookie bag. LOL it took a bit for me to find the funny it in :)
