I had a lady come in my line at the grocery store with a coupon for some Advil. The coupon was for $6.00 off but the Advil was only $3.50. We are not allowed to give cash back for coupons so I put in the $3.50 and she says to me, “Can you please cross out the $6.00 and put $3.50?” I asked why and she said, “Because it’s not fair to Advil that your store gets more than it is supposed to.”
I said OK and put the coupon aside and kept ringing in her order, THREE more time she asked me to cross it off in front of her. At the end she said “I still didn’t see you cross it off yet.” I smiled and said I would do it later.
Let me explain something to you Miss, I do not give a rat’s ass if Advil has to pay 3 measly dollars more. Do not talk down to me in that tone of voice and expect me to follow your orders. Coming in my lane with your stupid coupon binder, acting like you’re my manger. And you wonder why I hate couponers.
Fuck off. —Fuckinternational

Yeah.
What she doesn’t realize is your store has to show proof they sold the item so it’s not like they’re going to send that extra money back.
FUCK.
She’s complaining because the ‘big grocer’ is going to profit from ‘big pharma’? What about complaining about the profits made by the price-gouging of customers by both? You’d think the importance would be on the lack of control she has on how much of her own money she gets to keep, not how much of their own money a drug manufacturer gets to keep.
Your talents as a check out cunt are wasted, barista class for you, then you really can whine. Or maybe wait staff, they love to bitch about bad tippers blah blah fuck off.
That is just bizarre!!! Wing. Nut. Somebody with a coupon binder is talking down to you?!?! Coupon binder.
I should really get myself a coupon binder.
Anyone SEE that extreme couponing show on TLC?
Yeah PK, this made me think of it. I just saw the preview, haven’t watched the show. Can’t argue with free groceries.
A coupon binder. To go with my scrapbooking binder.
I wonder what store? I want to go to go to there!

I want to take a picture of a person with a coupon binder!
EXACTLY.
My mom has a discount card to lawtons through her health insurance plan and she gets insane discounts off of everything. Right now we’re on an essie nail polish kick and we get 30% off, so instead of 10 bucks, we pay just over $6. 🙂
my sarcasm detector is reading high levels snubiz^^
No need for a tune-up on that detector there, pg. It seems to be working nicely.
However – no fairzies on the nail polish!
fuck the coupon binder…
just shop at the nearest Giant Tiger.
their coupons are build in!
Long live the Tiger!
My mom won’t shop at the Tiger because she said it smells in there.
Ahh the GT Boutique. Picking up where The Bargain Shop left off.
I have seen a few episodes of Extreme Couponing, and in the later episodes the stores start spying on the shoppers to try and foil them with limits on coupons.
If coupons scanned up here the way they do in the US, you’d see a lot more binders around.
Oh, and new GT is opening in Woodlawn in a couple of weeks, get there before it stinks too.
I think the couponer was trying to make a point, and it was a pretty valid one as far as I can see. she should get whatever the store will be getting for the coupon.
btw, OB, did you make this decision all on your own, or are you following specific training?
Stores send coupons away for rebates and must provide evidence that they did in fact use a specific coupon on a specific product and the prices, etc. You think they just have to send away redeemed coupons and they’ll get cash for it, no questions asked? C’mon, you’re smarter than that.
Sorry, I’m in a snarky mood. This unpacking is killing my brain.
A coupon binder? I could keep that right beside my memory scrapbook. Plans, plans, plans….
The store should replace this grocery scanning-moron with a machine. As for the couponing customer, give her a coupon papercut down under.
The coupons are for the actual price paid for the product not the face value…….the Crass-ier and the Coupon Queen are both fucked.
