Neighborhood Chat: Worst Shopping Experiences

August 11th, 2009 | By Rebecca Thorman | 25 Comments

Neighborhood

Last Thursday, we hosted our first “official” chat on the Neighborhood section of Alice on how to run an eco-friendly home. And it was a blast with some great stories, tips and good company. Check out what we have planned for this week below!

This Week in the Neighborhood Chat
This week, by request, our topic for discussion will be stories about your worst shopping experiences.  We’ll be talking about rude cashiers, the least fun you’ve had shopping with a child or children,  the worst interaction with a fellow shopper and more. Join us to vent, laugh and empathize.

At the end of the chat, we’ll open it up to hear your feedback on future Neighborhood Chat ideas, product suggestions and site feedback.

    I’ll be there! Am sorry I missed last week!

    I’m CompareRewards on Alice, and my profile is here:

    I’d like to hear about other people’s horror stories in trying to use coupons at the cash register at the grocery store. I’ve had some bad experiences myself, which is yet another reason why I love Alice — no coupon-hating cashiers to deal with! ;)

    Looking forward to Thursday,
    Becky / CompareRewards
