I've had the same problem with coupons cut out of the paper, and the clerks have no clue!

At K-Mart, I had Alpo Buy 3 Get One Free coupons, and the girl did not even know how to ring it up. It took her TWENTY tries and finally sent me to customer service. People do not understand basic math. Alpo 50 cents a can....what is so difficult about ringing up a coupon whose value should be 50 cents?

Harris-Teeter will not take ANY internet coupons. They even have a sign posted at each register. I have contested this and had the manager take them for me. I said look you know me and see me all the time, you know I am not going to rip you off.

Lots of the internet coupons will not scan the bar code though...even printed on my costly printer.

Oh and those Fast Break coupons, I had over 100 of em. The Fast Breaks on the shelf had a short expire date on em, so I talked to customer service and the next time the candy vendor was there, they got me 2 cases of fresh candy and called for me to come pick it up.

Manufactures usually pay 7 or 8 cents per coupon for handling. Heck the stores can pay me that and I would go handle, organize and process all their coupons for that!

I hate Wal-Mart and Target! Sometimes ya gotta go though :-(

I like BJ's Wholesale Club cuz you can use coupons there whereas at Sam's (Wal-Mart big bro) you cannot use coupons.

Speaking of Wal-Mart, do you go to their website every week or so and request the free samples?
