Highly unimpressed with a fellow couponer

[Jezebel]

while I am shocked someone would purchase that amount ! I am equally annoyed when ppl go to the express lane with a shopping cart full

Zantac answers! The old Zantac coupons ($3.00 off) didn't exclude trial sizes and haven't for a few years. It does say "one per person" but most WM's will let you take 3-5 without blinking (mine told me 5 was fine as long as I didn't clear the shelf...they really don't care because all they have to show is they sold enough stock to cover the coupons they submitted).

After taxes you make about $0.43/ pack and I like getting a buck or two off as much as the next person BUT 73!!! OMG!! That's ridonculous!

Not only did she clear the shelf but she must have taken all the coupons when they came out!! Greedygus!

me too! though i've heard some people do this to prevent a hold up in the line when using alot of coupons

That's sneaky and sad. Puts a lot of pressure on the cashier and the rest of the people waiting in line start huffing and puffing.

its not so much that there was 76 in her purchase as it is the express lane is 1 - 16 items however one of the same item can go quickly but the input of the coupons would take a long while. My walmart will not order in for anyone. I am surprised that the store had 76 in stock. What happens is that the auto-ordering system that walmart has sees a large sale of this item and will re-order according to the rate of sale. So the store will eventually have a large amount again and then there will be no coupons and the shelf will be stuffed to overflowing and the store will be stuck with the product expiring on their shelf.

I can't wait for that. zantac coupon to expire. I'm tired of seeing it!

Agreed!

[Chantel]

But even if she ordered so many... its abuse of the coupon and product.

Not to mention abuse of the express lane! What a self-absorbed cow to take almost a HUNDRED items PLUS coupons into a 1-15 lane! How damn rude.

rants about coupons are not permitted on SC perhaps we can keep this rant about HOW MANY were purchased /Express Lane versus the Coupon.....Mod Jezebel

I wouldn't have thought this rant of mine would get so much hype. I apologize if the wording in my OP or responses went against any SC policies. Still fairly new to the forums. All the best everyone, and let's hope a situation like this doesn't happen again.

I think I mentioned this pages ago in the post, but it may be in another thread..I've been saying for months about how this coupon has a one per customer limit on it. (People have been posting brags about it for months and I've been so annoyed because people just disregard/ignore my discouraging of its abuse because I know most of us SC members actually want to follow the rules of coupons so it doesn't get harder to get great coupons! )

Anyway, the 2 Walmarts near me now have copies of the coupon at each cash register and have it highlighted saying only one per customer, and not even separate transactions. (I had 3 transactions because I needed 3 receipts for my resolve/finish/sunlight MIR's). So I had one zantac per transaction, knowing they usually don't care about that)...the cashier told me that Walmart has been burned and didn't get reimbursed for a pile of these coupons because they weren't observing the wording. I didn't mind not getting the zantac, but was surprised they were being so stringent as they're usually more lax (and yes, I actually use the product daily lol).

Stuff like this makes it very difficult for people who actually need the product to get it. It may not be the case here but is very disheartening to see people do this just to get the overage when they have no use for the product.

My mom uses this all the time and rarely can I find it.

76 zantacs would make me assume it was a special order.. once when I was checking out with a bunch of coupons.. the cashier asked me to go through the 1-15 line because there was only one regular cash open.. Its not really possible to know why she did what she did because we donèt know the details.

[couponmamaof03]

SHE WENT INTO THE EXPRESS LANE (1-15 ITEMS) WITH 76 ZANTAC ON TOP OF THE OTHER PRODUCTS SHE HAD.[/COLOR]

this is not directed at the OP or any other poster in this thread its just my opinion.
Just a question, but how do you know she bought these for an overage? Maybe she didn't buy it for the overage but actually needs this product, yes, 76 is a bit much, maybe she has chronic heartburn. Also, the overage might just be putting food on her families' table. She could have traded for her coupons. We as group should not jump to conclusions, unless we have walked in someone else's shoes. JMHO

I have FINALLY started to see the scrunge wands that I have the FPC for, last week I picked up 5 (some were still left) this week I go to Walmart and they have two hangers of them out so I pick up 5 more (I am using these everyday) and I go to the cash and the cashier says that I can only buy 1 at a time but he will let me get 3 and just be warned for next time, so I get the three. They are really cracking down on things there, I have come acrossed so many restrictions in the last month. The Walmart I go to is on my way home so I dont have a problem stopping by everyday or making multiple transactions, but the policy is changing daily!! I just want some consistency!

[miamitall]

I have no idea why WM doesn't have a maximum 6 same items with coupons policy per day. Yes, I know some people would go every day and use their friends & family to get more than 6 items every day, but at least there would be a CHANCE that some others could purchase the product/use their coupons. Shelf-clearing is selfish, even if it's for charity, and it gives ALL couponers a bad rep. The 6 same items maximum would actually ENCOURAGE MORE couponers to visit WM, on the assumption that the items on sale with coupon would still be stocked and on the shelf.
