RCSS new policy?

[Meyou]

I went to RCSS last night and used $26 of coupons. Some were $ off and some were FPC. After the cashier ran through the first $10 worth the system locked her out to put more in. They have a new policy (at least at this store - Young St Halifax)) that more than $10 of coupons need an manager override.

The manager was very nice and deducted everything quickly but I caused a lineup waiting for her. She let me use a B2G2 Ziploc coupon with the B1 ziploc get $3 off marinade one.

That's happened to me at the RCSS in Scarborough, ON as well. And people aren't overly too impressed because they have to wait for a manager to override....but when does anyone on here go shopping and use less than $10 per transaction??

Do separate transactions..... it makes life easier. I break up the products I can and group together the multi buy deals so I can get maximum coupon value. But keep it under $10 off in each Transaction,

It has always been the way at my superstore so I did start spliting my orders as there CS lady is slow to come and is usually in a bad mood!!!LOL!!

same thing happened to me in B.C. yesterday. I had 3 FPC and the system locked. They were very nice about it1

same thing happened to me when the cashier said that i had reached my coupon limit.... not a huge deal though, the manager came over and just overridded the rest

Good idea! I was already doing 3 because of 2 pepsi MIR's and then my groceries so that probably would have scared the poor little cashier more than needed. lol She was very confused about ringing in the pepsi/quaker stuff separately as it was.

All Loblaws company operates the same way. I usually try to break it down to seperate bills, unless for some promotion you need to combine to one bill. It is a bit annoy sometimes

Its their new tills. Nothing can be done about it.

I had that happen to me too. I had a pampers $10 off coupon and a couple others. i thought it was just my $10 coupon that did it since it was high value, guess it was just the combination of them all... good to know.

That's a great idea to separate the order. I've been locking up their system for sometime now.

Wow... good to know!

That happened to me last week. I think the limit at our register (in Vernon) is $25. It was no biggie, though, it took the manager just a half second to override it. Nicest part was that the manager is one of the younger fellows that has often rang up my groceries. Knowing he's a manager and capable of doing overrides (in ADDITION to being a young man?), I am SO looking for him every time I go shopping now. :p
