Everyone agrees it's kinda annoying to have to deal with these coupon crazy customers as a customer behind them and cashier ... but it's so rare to meet these people and it's just them taking advantage of saving money ... which I'm sure everyone wants to do. I feel like the majority of us are just calling this whining about something so small and insignificant that affects you, as the cashier, what ... once a month? First of all you are right based on my experience that this does not happen very often. It probably varies from store to store though. Secondly I'm not sure who you are directing your post at. Anyone calling the mere mention of something that is annoying whining is doing what I described in my previous post. You can't then play the "why are you making such a big deal out of something insignificant" card after it was the people complaining about whiners who began the whole discussion.

You can complain that an oil leak is getting all over you fishies or you can complain about the problem and do something about to plug that leak. Though, I would have to question how one would even impact the problem that people have with ringing up mass coupons. Them evil giant corporations don't care about their cashiers(Evil Walmart). I didn't read any of it as complaining so much as just pointing out that it's annoying "which it is." If people who don't like 'complaining' would have just ignored the few cashiers reminiscing then this would have been a non-issue. | ||

Threads like this go no where and imo should be closed. How can pointing out a annoyance be threadworthy? This thread adds no value at all except for a minority of people to vent how annoyed they are by coupon crazies and the majority of people to say the minority are whining about nothing. There is nothing of worth here. | ||

There is nothing of worth here. I'm actually rather interested in all the coupon bullshit that occurs... and failblog style sales can be entertaining too. If you find this thread so useless/pointless that you must make several posts about the need for it to be closed then you should relish the fact that you are not in charge of moderating it and thus have the option of leaving and never coming back to this thread. edit: to be fair there is a decent chance this thread will just die or eventually get closed though, but I wouldn't say it's inherently pointless | ||

I dunno if you warned that guy ... but it seems like you're getting mad over ppl who disagree with you. I post in this thread because I'm hoping that these types of threads don't pop up often where people simply complain about something. The video is cool. The whining is not so much. lol no I didn't warn him. I don't think getting on a soap box in a thread you disapprove of is a good way of encouraging a change in moderator strategy... discussing it in a more appropriate place is recommended. | ||

In a store when you pick up and item off the shelf they aren't going to change the price while you walk to the register. If they advertised it on the shelf as 2 dollars they should sell it to you for 2 dollars. On Amazon that happened to me.... I was sooo mad that it bumped the price up on me that I got on the phone with them until they gave it to me for the price I requested... they eventually realized the supervisor's time on the phone with me 100% occupied was much more valuable than mine on speakerphone while browsing. ...but I'll never do that again lol | ||

Unless of course, you dislike money or enjoy giving it to grocery stores. It's totally reasonable for you to suggest they go to the store more often, though. I mean why make one trip a week when you can make a trip every day? Working at a small grocery store availibility of employees is a big problem during the busy part of the day and the customers know this. Yet we have consistent customers who come in for their weekly/bi-weekly shopping trip buying $200-400 worth of groceries. I think it's also the attitude most people who buy coupons generally have. Like the cashier and store can't do anything right and are they to steal their money. Most coupon users arn't like that but most people who think that way happen to be. That puts us in the mindset alrdy of what dealing with this person is going to be like. | ||

I bought Call of Duty blackops with a 55$ coupon, It ended up being .95 cents. It wasn't worth it. Anyways ontopic. I walked into a store (There were two different ones in a row) and the first one had "Pringels Original" 2 for 2euro. "ON SALE" The other store sold them for 1euro normally. It's pretty use full to have two different stores next to each other with completely different prices :p | ||

The work these people put into this is massive, but it actually works, haha. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-BsjPjm2bo + Show Spoiler [Video] + Woman turns $230 grocery bill into a $7 grocery bill, just by using coupons. Holy shit. That's impressive. I thought coupons generally have this line where you can't use other coupons with this coupon in one purchase. My mother used to buy from Costco once a month for us 4 children, she'd be a real penny-pincher, but this mother right here is the queen! | ||

I started it and the only reason I said anything is because the guy said that he hated people that used coupons instead of he hated ringing up people that used coupons. By the time he clarified there were already other people preparing to post things that are so ridiculous that people have to respond to like.. Is $200 really worth 30 minutes of your time? or I bet she is buying stuff she doesn't need just to use coupons. Because who needs food? | ||

You can double a manufacturer's coupon with a manager's coupon. One is a discount from the grocery store and the other is from the company that made the product. | ||
