I must say that I have only had one problem at a K-Mart, in this springs
BOGO sale when I found an old set which didn't come up in their computer
as LEGO, and had difficulty convincing the customer (un)service person
that the set really was a LEGO set and should be included. The first
time I used a BOGO sale, before their computers got fixed, it of course
took 50% off the cheapest items, the customer service desk gave me no
hassle at all to get the proper discount, and suggested in the future to
ask the cashier to ring them up seperately, which no cashier ever balked
at. I've found TRU to be very helpfull. In their recent BOGO sale, I
even had a cashier remind me to put them in order so they would ring up
right.
