Purchase vs. Transaction - Explanation pls !

[Marteli]

Hello !

I'm new in the couponing and I had a balst so far I had few short shopping trips and I had save lots of money already on prdocuts well that they are usually very expensive
Any ways my problem is that I have been at Lawtons and Zellers in Halfiax and in both stores they don't know the difference between a transaction and a purchase.. How can I explain to them the difference? it bothers me that everytime I have to buy the same product many times they have to checked them out one by one !!

Thank you

A purchase is an item. The cartful of items you leave the store with are your purchases.

A transaction is the process of putting stuff on the till, having it rung in, bagging it and paying.

When a coupon says one per purchase, what it really means is one per item purchased. Say "These are my purchases, together they make up my order, which is otherwise known as my transaction".

Zellers SUCKS though (I've never been to a lawtons) and a lot of the time they just have no idea what they're doing because they're undertrained, and no amount of discussion or convincing will change their minds.
