I made a trip to save alot today. they have the maruchan yakisuba noodles for 49 cents this week. Hey i got a coupon for it. 50 CENTS OFF ONE gosh who woult of thought that.
I went thier with just 10 even though i have about 60 of them.
So the cashier call the manager over to verify she can use the coupon. Ms sharon comes over and says where did you get all of these coupons. I replied from the Sunday Paper:hello: she says so you bought 10 sunday papers i said yes i did I do it every sunday. She then states well last time someone used this many coupons they went around stealing people newspapers. I stated are you saying i stole these. lol. I said i dont have criminal record and matter of fact i got a bundle in my car and a receipt for them if you care to look. She then say well since you have an attitude im not accepting any of them. why did she say that. I qoute the words of Neal the wizard. Yes you will it is in you coupon policy. She then stops and comes back and says you have to show me your driver license. lol I said no i will not and since when do i need my DL to make a purchase. I got my items called corporate and the district manager personally called and apologized. i felt like i was floating in a heaven filled with coupons. SO IF YOU HAVE THOSE COUPONS NOW IS THE TIME TO USE THEM.

I would have told her that I don't have a Driver's license they don't let crazy people drive :) Good Job, never be afraid to call Corporate at any store, in this case no doubt you were right and the manager needs a couple of years off with out pay. Thats the way to stand up to the coupon cop or at least she thought so.

Ditto to that! I don't think I could've remained calm enough to make my purchase after being accused of stealing coupons.

I "steal" people's inserts out of the recycling center's green dumpster. If they want to take them to the recycling and not use them, I sure will!! I'm still clipping coupons from my "dig" on Monday!!

Great job! I'm so glad it worked out for you. It really isn't any of that lady's business where you get your coupons. ;)
