Quibbler, picky, aggravating or just plain annoying???

​We just came back from the store.  We spent about 15 minutes longer than we should have because the sale price on what we got wasn't coming up on the screen.  (Imagine that)  We were getting two of each item.  We should have been "saving" (ha!) a dollar on two of the items and $2.00 on the other two. Call me picky but if a sign says something is on sale, I want the sale price.

I had taken a picture with my phone, but evidently that wasn't good enough, so the clerk went back to check.  She rang it up again.  Still the wrong price.  A man came over to help.  He thought he had it straightened out. Tommy agreed with him.  Once more, aggravating me walked up to the thing that shows the price and said "NO...it is Still not right!"  

Then I said, "just keep the items."  At this point the man rang it up for the right price.  

I am saying all this to ask a question...."why quibble over $3.00."  My answer is, that if every time I go to the store...say once a week for a year....(I sometimes go more than once a week) and I try to buy something that is supposedly $3.00 off, that comes to $156 a year.  I could buy a lot of groceries for $156. (Or maybe not!  HA!)

So I will continue to quibble over 50 cents, or a dollar, and I will remain picky and aggravating but most of all, as my son Jason Amos would say...I will still be very very annoying.  If you work check out at a store, you had better hope I don't get in your line!
