I just wanted to extend a public hug and thank you to all who answered my cry for Kiss coupons. I was overwhelmed by how many answered and offered them to me, for trade or otherwise. This thread is truly made up of the best people on SD.

I heard from a reliable friend who works for corporate and she said Ks are using double coupons to update there computer systems. And also, tweak things with the help of consumers coupon usage. They will no longer be accepting 992s without cashier intervention. Also, 01s and overages will be a thing of the past. Hopefully this will not be anytime soon if at all.

Yuck... that would explain why all my 992s popped up the screen last run though. Frown At least the 01s and overages were still flawless.

Kmart sales will take a dip with that BS. They should try training their present employees better and hiring more people who possess a modicum of intelligence and civility instead.

Sales would drop, but I bet profits would increase

Their profits will increase when someone in that organization learns how to run a business. Ticking off paying, loyal customers isn't the way to go. Employing a bunch of whiny, ignorant lazy layabouts isn't the way to go.


I made my first post about this as succinct as I could because the list of what they shouldn't be doing would take me until rapture to type.

At peak times, their stores are bereft of customers. Their inventory sits on shelves because no one is buying. We, as coupon royalty, bring them sales and profits. But they are too daft to see it. Their own employees don't know their own coupons and promotions, including management and the way they treat customers is deplorable. They care nothing to correct the many problems over there, which has led to the closing of stores. For all they pay their Corporate officers, one of them should remember something from their time in business school.

i agree with a lot of what you say but i know some kmart employees. they may not know their own coupon promotions if it's not ment for all stores. when this is clearly stated on ads and someone goes into a store that isn't participating all employees may not know the promotion. these associates may get flustered when slick talkers tell them what they have to do. instead of saying the associated don't know the coupon promotion some of the blame should fall on the people who know the promotion, and but don't follow it by going to non participating stores.

The blame still falls upon the corporation, not the couponer, as Corporate has stated the stores will honor the promotion. Kmart corporate has told SEVERAL people to bring in the ad to ANY store and they will honor it. And I would say the people frustrated with the actions of participating stores, outweighs the non-participating store people.

I work for a major corporation, and this is not a way to run their business. We get daily memo's entailing promotions that are good for CA theatres, NY theatres, etc....and we are in St. Louis. This is not a valid excuse.

Please don't take this personally, as I am not directing it towards you, but at kmart and their inability to run a business.

I can't find mhoff5's post, so I'll just respond to it.

Cashiers, teh very people who deal with coupons don't even know the WEEKLY $5 off $50 Qs. Those are storewide coupons that are given out to customers for sharing their email addy. That is nothing short of ignorance that at least ONCE every trip some cashier has to ask if it's ok. And I know the cashiers at my stores, it's not new employees. Not for nothing, if it's not taught why aren't these people intelligent enough to take some initiative to ASK?

I happen to know from a management mouth that they do things they know to be wrong and illegal (the Tinkerbell Barbie DVD/doll deal) and don't give a crap. They even held back Wiis when they were at their peak! What kind of bass ackward company does that?!?!?!?!? They were just sitting in an office, not put on the floor. I've had to call the DM on ONE store's employees no less than 5 times. It happens to be the one that is closing by me...SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!!

I wish I could run Kmart for just 3 months. They wouldn't even have to pay me. Just to make it a better store for us all to shop in would be enough.
