Entry 619: Buzzkill

     For those of you who follow me on Facebook (and if you don't what are you waiting for because I am a tremendous follow) you might remember that last week I talked about how someone at Dollar Tree came in on Sunday morning and stole all the papers with the coupons in them.  Now this might not seem like a big deal, but in the Dollar Tree coupon world it is.  Let me explain. 
     Papers on Sunday usually cost around $3.00, but if you go to the Dollar Tree they are only $1.00. The word has gotten out and all of those people who like to cut coupons line up 15 minutes before the store opens to get their paper.  Now I love my wife, so I do this for her so she can get her coupons to cut out.  Honestly it saves us quite a bit of money also which is always nice.  Now as all places there is always someone who tries to mess it up for everyone, and the Dollar Tree Sunday morning group is no different.  I don't know her name, but I refer to her as Buzzkill.  Buzzkill has a way of ruining everything for everyone, so allow me to give a couple of examples:

• You used to be able to bring back papers and exchange them if they were missing some coupons.  Buzzkill would go to her car and each week and like clockwork would complain that her papers had no coupons.  Well this happened for 3 months in a row and it became obvious she was going to her car, taking out the coupons, and then coming back and getting new papers for free and getting those coupons.  So Dollar Tree instituted a no return policy on papers.
• Dollar Tree had a long standing policy of a 3 paper limit, but they for 5 glorious months had a no paper limit.  You can only imagine the excitement of people, but once again Buzzkill ruined it for everyone.  She would always be the first one in line and and would literally buy between 15-20 papers and everyone else would have to fight over the remaining papers.  Things got a little testy during this time and I honestly saw people almost come to blows a few times over a $3 paper.  So again Buzzkill ruined this policy.
• Lastly it appears she was the one who stole all the papers last week which made her public enemy #1.

     That brings us to this morning where I once again noticed police cars outside of Dollar Tree when I got there.  Luckily the papers were not stolen, but for some reason Buzzkill was outside of the store arguing with Liberty's finest.  It turns out that Buzzkill came back to the store this morning to buy her paper and when she showed up the manager called the police.  It appears after her theft of papers, Buzzkill has been trespassed from Dollar Tree.  Now the next question becomes who is the next Buzzkill and hopefully it isn't me.
