More Catalina Rolling at Weis 2/12/10......The Hounds are Happy!

And I was suppose to get a $10 OYNO Catalina.  When the machine didn't spit it out I asked the cashier if the cat machine was turned out since I didn't see the light on.  She nonchalantly looked up at the number sign at the register and said, "Oh, this is register 9...the catalina machine here doesn't work, sorry."
UGH!
Do I have to ASK every time I go to checkout at a store if the catalina machine is working/turned on/functioning BEFORE I let them ring me out?
Seriously.....
Like they KNOW it's not working and it hasn't worked in MONTHS AND they are running 4 Catalina Deals this week, yet they continue to use this register??  How many customers have checked out this week at Register 9 and not being aware they bought items that qualified them for a Catalina Q didn't get it? 
Bad Bad Store!

So I trot over to CS(customer service)and hope to heavens an IDIOT isn't working the desk! 
Idiot=someone who has no clue how Catalinas work.
I am in no mood for a fight and if I have to fight about getting my Cat it will NOT be pretty....

The CS gal was highly competent, for a change!, and knew to base the total price on the shelf not the sale price.  After a call to the manager I had my choice of Weis Dollars(?) or cash.....most local store would have put it on a gift card.
I took cash but it didn't matter because I was going to use it as soon as I shoved the first transaction's worth of items into the car.
