I really appreciate you treated my wife and family yesterday.
Background:
Yesterday I get a call from Mrs. '68 and says my boy wants to tell me something. "Dad, I got stitches!" Wha? He seems pretty proud so I ask if he's OK. "Yeah, I cut my finger at Super Target." Mrs. '68 gets back on the phone & gives me the story. He'd been in the bathroom and after washing his hands had cut himself from the paper towel dispenser. He came out of the bathroom with his hand wrapped up & blood going everywhere. She immediately took him up to the service desk & asked for a bandaid but figured out pretty quick it was beyond that point--the tip of his finger was gone. The manager told her to take him to the minor emergency clinic or a doctor of her choice & to bring the bill back to them & they'd pay for any and all charges. OK, that's really nice of them I thought. The doc put in three stitches & prescribed an antibiotic.
After she called me Mrs. '68 went back to the Target pharmacy to have the prescription filled. While she was waiting another manager walked back & informed the pharmacist Mrs. '68 would have to pay for the medicine and something to the effect of another dead beat lawsuit--getting something for nothing. She overheard this & confronted the manager and confirmed what she'd (the manager) had said. When Mrs. '68 said she wanted to speak to THE store manager, the assistant told her she was THE store manager and walked away. Another employee who saw the whole thing told my wife she was indeed only an assistant. The pharmacist was so embarrassed she gave the prescription to my wife & told her not to worry.
I'm still waiting for Mrs. '68 to call to find out what happened--she was going to cool down & try to take care of the situation this morning.
If this is the way the new Super Target is run, I'm out.
