I went to RCSS yesterday to pick up couple of things and stopped at the board of coupons outside. They had two full pads of Crest toothpaste coupons there. I took about 7 of those coupons and while I was looking to see what other coupons were there, a lady came in and took both the pads of Crest coupons. I don't understand how greedy can you get or how many toothpastes do you need. If you buy toothpaste in bulk, wouldn't they expire. I wanted to ask her that but was too chicken so I am venting here. Now I know why we can't find a lot of coupons people post about.

I wouldn't have been able to stay quiet, I'd give her a dirty look and say fairly loudly for all around to hear, "REALLY, you need to steal 2 whole tear pads?" Just to embarrass her.
Mainly because I'm bitter because I was sick as hell last weekend when those coupons were put out and by midday sunday, not a one of those tear pads were to be found with any coupons left.

That would be frustrating to watch happen right in front of you. I always try to calm myself in these unfortunate situations by thinking that if someone is doing that they must be in a position where they need to do it KWIM? Or the whole what comes around goes around will catch up with them anyway.

What surprised me most when reading your post, was the fact that she didn't wait for you to leave...just snatched them in front of your face...ballsy!

No, what exactly happened was that while I was there, she pretended she was taking only a few of them but the whole pad accidently came to her hand because she started muttering and swearing with the whole pad in her hand and she pretended she was trying to put it back but waited until I moved. I had my suspicions so I went to pick up the cart and picked up a flyer from near the door and started looking at it but I was actually watching her. As soon as she thought I was not paying attention she grabbed the second pad as well.

One of my BIGGEST pet peeves...coupon hoarders....they may claim that they share but nobody granted them Queen of coupons therefore it's okay to take the whole darn pad(s).....I like to know how they get the pads off that are being held by a screw? I sometimes find it difficult taking more than a couple off cause of they way they're screwed on with a plastic thingy or an actual screw! Who in the world needs 500 toothpaste coupons? Sometimes I think they do it just so nobody else will get the deal that they will.

Yup coupon hoarders & coupon meanies everywhere
The sad thing is lot of times these coupons expire in their hand & end up in the recycle bin.
Even if she trades them & someone actually ends up using them or even she ends up using all of them ( unlikely )..I don't mind.
But lot of times they get too greedy & these end up in the recycle bin, nothing worse than that ..other's can't use them , she doesn't use them & the MFR also wasted time/money/paper printing them , retailer also lost business
