Less Greed

[Tida]

wow that is horrible. Why are some people so greedy? Just as long as you do good deed good things will happen. I believe in karma. I meet a really nice lady at CT on Sat. she had a bunch of Vim coupons and she spare some. I then saw a guy with vim in has basket and I gave him a coupon. I was able to get 4 Vim for free. Thank you whoever you are.

There's a lot of greed and we're seeing it on a smaller scale with couponing. Corporate greed, isn't that what the occupy Wallstreet, etc. is about? Ponzi schemes, lottery scams, lots of greed out there. Why do we end up with so many rules to try to make people behave? Shelf clearing, knowingly using coupons incorrectly, buying lots and trying to re-sell on ebay -garage sales, etc. So expect more rules. Stores don't care when they get paid for the coupon, but they will care when a lot of irritated customers don't shop there because it's not likely worth the trouble. Personally, there is no Walmart in my area and I rarely make the trip, but one is being built. I usually just price match at LD if it's something I really want. Usually can't justify a trip for two items that are likely not even on the shelf.

You shouldn't need more than one CZ coupon. Walmart does an Ad match so they just need to see one. I picked up 6 boxes the other day (before you hate - I have 3 kids in school so I go through them like crazy) and that is what they did with me

That's infuriating not only as a customer, but as a store. If someone comes in, clears everything out, there's nothing left for anyone else. It looks bad for the company, too.

I think at SOF we have reserved the right to refuse a purchase when they're clearing out the shelf like that. It used to happen with milk all the time when you could get one free with such a number of points.

No one will hate - 6 boxes is nothing. I would have bought 6 boxes before I started to coupon. I got 14 boxes this round. My BF eats a bagged lunch every day at work. But I came no where NEAR to clearing the shelf, even at 9 pm on a Saturday night (there were probably close to 100 left on the pallat). These two, though, taking ALL the ziplocs? Totally garbage. Those pallats have hundreds and hundreds of boxes on them.

What can you do? Shelf clearers will continue to be shelf clearers and whether they are reading this thread or not they do not care what we think.

Personally I have stopped running out to get sales items - all too often the items are already cleared from the shelves.

Nothing will stop shelf clearing other than stores implementing limits even so people will find a way around it.

[luvfreestuff]

Thats awful that they wouldn't even spare 2 boxes from their cart full and disgusting that they cleared the whole shelf. People have no manners anymore and it is so sad.

I wasn't even going to go and grab some but we were driving right by a walmart so I figured we should stop so I could have a look. I got 4 boxes and paid $0.12.

I don't judge or assume, sure it wasn't nice for them to take them all but i don't know their situation either. I just don't let these little things in Life bother me, it just causes Grey Hair. I make three lunches per day and go through them alot however I was not able to get any so when I run out I will resort to plastic containers. Surely there will be other sales on in the future.

I don't understand shelf clear-ers....its not like the item is never going to be made again or ever go on sale again.


I guess they may be saving up for the apocalypse. I know if the end of times comes and I'm fresh outta Ziplocks and Tic-tacs, I'm going to be really bent.
