Second transaction

I had two more boxes of arm & hammer baking soda, and one more coupon for 1.00 off two. The cashier would not take the last coupon. The reason she gave is that it would make the total less than $1.00. This drew attention from several nearby customers. When she would not accept the last coupon, I asked her to take off the last two boxes of arm & hammer. That is why the subtotal above is -.11. I got back in line with the coupon and the baking soda.
