CVS Shopping Trip

I went to CVS this morning to do my weekly shopping. I have 2 stores to choose from and I chose to go to the one a little further away because I can get my Sunday paper there. Here is the result of my trip.



PaperMate Pens 3 for $1
Dawn 88 cents
Colgate $2.99
Bayer $1.99
Sharpies $6.21
4 Sure Deodorant $5.38
CVS Hand Sanitizer $1.19
Sunday Paper $1.50
One Touch Glucose monitor $19.99

Coupons
50 cents Dawn
$1.00 Colgate
$1.00 Bayer
$1.19 Free Sanitizer from CVS receipt
$2.69 BOGO Sure
$2.69 BOGO Sure
$4/$20 CVS coupon
$19.99 Glucose meter (this goes to charity)

Total Out of Pocket $10.59 ($5.00 School Supply rebate from today's paper will make it $5.59)
$2 ECB back

But I would like to say this, I can't stand being treated like a criminal when I try to use the BOGO coupons. The cashier refused to scan it, she called the manager who said I couldn't use 2 coupons. I told them BOTH that I had called CVS Customer Service and they confirmed that I would only have to pay tax on the Sure. Just like the Pro Vive last week. I also ran into trouble with that at my closest CVS.
The manager FINALLY said (after 3 people were in line behind me) that she would "take it this time, but you can only use one coupon, it says so right on the coupon."

I didn't have time to argue with her. She was NOT NICE and acted like she did me a favor by taking my coupons.

How many times do I have to call CVS before they train the managers and the cashiers how to take these coupons?
