Coupon Scammers are everywhere! Totally up our retail asses. But our friend Samuel here is not letting them get away with shit :
Okay, So I understand the economy is not in the best of shape but Jesus
Tittyfucking Christ, these people are really getting out of hand.
Let's see there is a woman who constantly comes in with a shitload of
expired coupons and tries to use them and every fucking time I tell her
I'm sorry, we don't accept expired coupons so now when she comes
through my lane I go through every fucking coupon and if I'm lucky she
will have one that she can use, AND about a month ago, this woman tried to use a raincheck on an item, but her raincheck
expired February 2008?! She also constantly comes in and wants a
raincheck for an item we don't have and then she needs one for her
sister that is sick....I've worked there for almost a year and I've
NEVER seen this sister.
Another woman comes in and cuts off the expiration dates of the coupons and tries to use them and EVERY time I tell her no, you can't use them since the expiration dates aren't on them. Then she tries to give some sob story about how she only buys these items for her church. So I guess she thinks if she can lie about the coupons it's okay because it's for a church....I don't think so. OH!! I forgot something about this lady she told me that she just bought a new car......a $35,000 car?! I just want to ask her well you can spend $35,000 for a car but you can't spend an extra 4 dollars for shit for "the church"?
Yet another woman comes in around once a month and buys just the
store brand items and tries to use coupons for the name brand item. I
honestly hate this woman with every ounce of my being and at one point
the customer behind her told her to stop trying to cheat the system.
Also, at my store we only double 2 identical coupons up to a dollar, so we have people come in with 50 million different "orders" because they don't want to fork over the extra 25 cents.
A
couple of days ago I had this woman buy an item that was buy one get
two free, so this woman decided that since she was getting 3 items she
should use 3 coupons. I tried to explain to her that we can't give
credit on something that she didn't pay for. So, I just handed her back
the coupons and needless to say she was pissed but I just put on my
happy face and told her to have a nice day.
So I saved the best for last! About a week ago, I was working the self checkout and I went to arrange the coupons and I noticed that there were four internet coupons that were clearly photocopied so I took them out and I told the other person to be on the lookout for them. Well a few hours later I went to help this lady and we were done with her order she handed me one of those photocopied coupons. I explained to her that they are voided if they are copied which is CLEARLY printed on the coupon. Well she said "This is Bullshit! You mean I have to print all of the coupons from my printer." I told her "I'm sorry but yes those are the rules and furthermore I can call Loss Preventions since I have four more of these coupons and who's to say that you didn't use them" Then she said "Oh, well I'll just pay for my stuff and leave, and I'm NEVER coming back" So, she left and I haven't seen her back....so I guess that's one less scammer!
Man, that felt good
Samuel
I once had a woman bring in a $1.00-off coupon from our COMPETITOR. She screamed that I should accept it because, "you're all owned by the same bunch of Jews anyway!"

Why do customers think we will be upset if they tell us they'll never shop in the store again?? Good riddence!

Church lady came back today...I went out to my car for my break and her car was parked next to MY FUCKING CAR?! and of course she HAD to come through my line and it took every ounce of my being not to reach over and choke her to death!!

The thing that really pisses me off is when we get scammers like an hour before closing and the decide that they "left their purse" in their car when we find that all their coupons are invalid. Then we have to stay an hour later to put away all their shit.
