Walmart no longer taking printed coupons

[WackyMom]

Hi I just thought I would let everyone know what I found out at my local walmart here in New Glasgow. They are no longer taking printed coupons at all they will only take mailed coupons they will not that the ziploc or glade coupons at all and the salesclerk told me they were told to not take any. Crazy!!!!!

If the company policy is that they accept them, how can one store say no? I mean, it's not like Walmart's are franchised...

I hope you are right I am going to contact the mangement tomorrow.

my store will accept them if I say they are printed coupons and not photocopied lol

[sonleel]

That is crazy. I shop at the New glasgow walmart too and that is usually where I take my coupons

OMG up there too? Not only can half the cashiers not READ the coupons here, they try that crap in the US too. How many times I have had to call Management.....ERRRRR. One time i got a gift card for my inconvenience...

The Walmart in Wasaga Beach won't take them either, but the one inNorth Barrie does. If its company policy how can they not accept them?

Well I have been on the phone half the morning and this is what I found out! New Glasgow Walmart is not longer taking computer generated coupons, I then reemed them for not posting it somewhere in the store. I called corporate office and they said each store CAN make its own decision on the the coupons when I spoke to dist. office they said most stores will be that way soon. Zellers is still taking them and supervalu are as well. This sucks sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Here in Edmonton the Walmart I frequent has signs at every cash register stating that the DO accept internet coupons. I think it is ridiculous for each store to have different policies within the same company.

My Walmart will only take printed coupons now if it's in color ink because they won't take "photocopied" coupons and those are apparently associated with being in black and white. Well I have a printer/scanner and if I want to I can make a color photo copy of the coupon so it doesn't make sense to me. I took the B&W ones one day figuring I can save on ink and they refused them because they looked photocopied *sighs*

Soon Internet coupons are going to be non exsistent everywhere. I think these establishments need to take a page from the US and offer "real" coupons like they do. If they offered more coupons (and double coupon days) I wouldn't care about Internet coupons. It would save the consumer AND the company a lot of hassle.

In London I have not had any issues... for now anyways!

Walmart Barrie still takes printed at home (from your printer) coupons. I have checked this with the head CSM. She assured me that they do take them. I needed it verified because of the coupon class I am running and I don't want the students to have the wrong information. (plus I would want to know when I am using them anyhow!)
