Had a nice evening with the kids at the Don Strange Ranch seeing the lights!\r
HOWEVER, Walgreens in Boerne is a different story!\r
There is a advertisement on the Don Strange website that states if you buy your ticket in advance at Walgreens, you get $5 off. So, we reroute and stop by Walgreens. They charge me full price. ($20) I bring this to their attention, I get attitude. I pay the $20 and then get on the website to confirm I should have paid $15 and I am correct. I call Walgreens and s/w Ed, the manager. He advises that I am the 2nd person today that was wrong and that $20 is the price. He advises that I must be ""getting my information from the San Antonio Light"" which has misprinted the information. I advised I got the information straight from the Don Strange website.... and really?! SA Light?! 'How 'bout the Express?! Sheesh....\r
So, I get on the website and send a message to the event coordinator. I go through the motions like I'm going to buy a ticket for tonight and the total is.... wait for it... $21.65 (with tax). So, what was the benefit of buying from Walgreens and where is the promised savings?! \r
We get to the ranch; I accidently meet the coordinator. She has already seen my inquiry on the website and not only gives me the $5, but also gives me a comp'ed ticket for another night! She advises me that this is the 2nd time today someone has gotten bad information/charged wrong by Boerne Walgreens.... Makes one wonder how many people are getting ripped off there and not saying anything and how quickly that ""extra"" $5 will add up Walgreens' pockets!
