    A good thing couponing has taught me to always check my receipt!

    So I used a stack of the sobey's gas coupons today and the math didn't add up. As I checked my receipt I saw the cashier had rung in only .01 off coupons. I pointed out there should be 2 .10 ones there, he said "No, they were all 1 cent. I scanned them all."

    I wanted to say: BULLPOOP!!!

    I made him check and sure enough, there were my 2 10 cent ones. "I scanned them all..." he repeated and gave me back my 2 unused ones. I was so pissed on the inside, what kind of sneaky cashier scam is this? Ive seen them dbl scan ones before, but because the bar code was unreadable. These ones were fine. Grrrr.... /rant

    Which Irving was this? I would complain to management.

    And thank you for the heads up, because I have some 10 cent ones.

    Oh my. That's sneaky. I'd call the manager for sure and complain.

    Thanks for the heads-up, I'll definately pay more attention when we use our gas coupons! Don't let this slide--report him--who knows he may still try to get away with this with someone else...yuck, what a creep!

    We always have issues with Irving....not to say it wouldn't happen elsewhere. My husband often mentions to me (he works backshift and therefore is there late at night) that the cashier does not always ring what he is purchasing into the register, just says what his total is and has the till drawer open. That cashier could pocket the cash, as there is no transaction for it. Same as your gas coupons. If you hadn't noticed, he could have pocketed the coupons and used them himself.

    He gave me the 2 .10 ones back, so if he did ring in the right number atleast, then i got 2 free .01 ones in theory.
