Conterfeit coupons make me mad!
I had an experience this past weekend that still has me fuming! I use coupons all the time for my groceries. I use a lot of home printed coupons normally with no problems. I went to my local Walmart as usual and at the checkout line I was actually asked if I scanned or copied my coupons. I stated to the cashier, "No, I don't plan on going to jail just to save 50 cents off my peanut butter." She kinda grinned but actually read all of my working, legally attained coupons one by one. No problem......out of a stack of 25 coupons or so, ONE didn't scan correctly. She handed it back to me. I was like, if you don't use this I don't want the product. I showed her the correct product and she had to call the 20 yr old ast manager over to get his ok. He said, we don't take online coupons anymore. I informed him nicely that the majority of those coupons came off their WALMART site. The cashier and him spoke in another language for a moment which made me madder but I kept my cool...then he said since they all scanned except one I could use them. (how nice of him) I told him if not I would just go down the street to another store no problem. And they could put this basket of stuff away. The cashier took off the remaining coupon that wasn't scanning correctly for me. 20 yr old ast manager then informed me that the week before someone had brought in $9 off toilet paper coupons 15 of them and they were fake. I understand they don't want to lose money, but treating your costumers that do things the correct way like criminals is not the way to keep costumers coming back. And to the PEOPLE who use or copy coupons, I hope you get caught! Hope you know they (printed coupons) have codes on them telling your ip address and if you make multiple copies (scanned and copied, not printed legally) they (the Law) can find you and you can go to jail or have a fine. Shame on you for making the rest of us look bad. ok, I'm better now!
