Sobeys Prospect refused Skinny Cow Coupon

Cashier said she accepted one earlier in the day and was told by management that they could not be accepted as they were worth more than the product AND it was a printable. Tried to get her to clarify a bit but she said she didn't understand where their reasoning was coming from either...

Thanks for this. It will save me the embarrassment of being turned down. I don't usually use printables but this was a really good one.

I avoid them as well for this exact reason! Should have known better...

Save your ink.

any luck at the other Sobeys stores?
ps their "internet coupon" policies state nothing about not being allowed to give overage on an internet coupon, but the "store manager discretion" kinda kills the deal:

Q: Does Sobeys accept Internet coupons?

A:

We accept original coupons for products we sell, providing the coupon is intact and legible, proper size of item is purchased, coupon has not expired, has a coupon offer code or UPC, and it contains a Canadian redemption address. We accept one coupon per item. Coupon amount may not exceed purchase price of item.

Internet coupons may be accepted if they meet the above and the following criteria:

• There must be a picture of the product on the coupon.
• The printed coupon must not be blurry.
• The face value of the coupon cannot exceed $5.00 off.
• We do not accept free product internet coupons.
• The expiry date should not exceed 6 weeks from the day it was printed. All internet coupons will have an expiry date visible.
• The coupon must have a Canadian redemption address.
• The coupon must have only one UPC (i.e. bar code).
• The coupon must say "INTERNET COUPON" to be legitimate.

In regards to BOGO items, a coupon may be accepted for the item purchased but not for the free item.

Coupon acceptance is at the discretion of store management. Please feel free to speak with the Store Manager should you have any other questions regarding coupons.

Now that I have read this it is sort of making sense. They were considering it a 'free product' internet coupon. It clearly isn't, but their grounds for refusing it was that I was going to get it for free...flawed logic IMO but who am I to argue?

After that experience I didn't even bother trying to use it anywhere else.

I will not bother either. Not worth any embarrassment on my part!

the northside one accepts printed coupons.. you could have pm'd at walmart.

I don't usually PM.

well I took my family and I there and got 4 packs...the manager wasn't happy but I wouldn't take no for an answer...she tried to come up with all kinds of reasons why I couldn't use the coupon...but the sobey's on the northside were taking them not a problem.
