Maxi Rant

[cath007]

It happened yesterday evening.

I taught of not doing a rant about this but I am so upset so I want points of view.

I ranted in a french couponning fb group today.

I got the response in french couponning group that many stores dont accept printed coupons anymore...that is sad...

Couponners are about to losing all their rights!!!!

Here is the story.

I wanted to pass 2 printed coupons in black and withe and was refuted by my Maxi.

I always highlight in yellow the nip when they having one and show to the cashier.

It is crazy because I used 3 printed black and white coupons last wednesday without any problems.

Some coupons we only have access to them by printing ....example kelloggs,websaver and go coupons.

So I dont know when the rule has changed....

Basically the cashier said to me she get the notice of not accepting them anymore because of the photocopy.

Well...quite shocked I learned today from a member in french couponning group fb that you can make colors photocopy too....

In all my years of couponning I was always making my prints black and white because color ink is so crazy expensive.Never it was a photocopy!!!!

So basically I will have to purchase a new printer because mine now dont quite work well.

AND BUY COLOR INK because of that new silly rule....Unfair!!!

I even dont know if they accept color prints I will have to ask a manager or supervisor next time I go to Maxi.

I called today but they are not able to provide a clear answer....

Before and it is still on the coupon if he is in English has to have a Ontario mention.

Last year they stopped allowing price matching + coupon togheter....Phew they put off that rule after at least.

The wording of a coupon dont count they just check the pictures on the coupon.

See so many problems at this Maxi.

And Maxi is the cheap place I can get my grocery and afford.

Oh and I cannot print Unilever coupons and their consumer service is useless!!!!


The end.

Thank you for reading me.

oh boy, @cath007 I had no idea the number of roadblocks you have had to face when using a coupon in Montreal.
A working printer is a necessary expense that cuts into any savings coupons can give us, and now you're saying
that colour ink might need to be used? That might be a cost too high.

It does seem unfair when policy changes are put in place with very little warning. It's to discourage shoppers from
presenting coupons at their store. You mentioned Maxi is the one place you get the best savings at so challenging
you every time you have a coupon is so disappointing.

A Maxi rant makes sense. Not sure you'll solve this issue as the stores seem to hold all the power with raising prices,
shrinking products and denying coupons.
