I hate to ask this, but does anyone want to inform me of the barbie/ hw? I have 8 Smilie I do not want hot wheels if possible.

I wanted to update on the Target deal too.

I talked to the DM today. He said that Lakeisha would never ever do a thing like that. He said that he will review the tapes, but I am wrong and she is right. He said that if I was using coupons than she has every right to see them. Fine, I agree. However that was not the point as I told him. The point was she was telling me I was using coupons when I was NOT! He said that again he will review the tapes. I said so what are you going to do about her getting up in my face and spitting on me (not on purpose, but as she was talking she was spitting!). He said that he doubts that happened and that she is a good LOD (HAH lakeisha you lied!).

Whatever. I told him that if he does not resolve to my satisfaction he just lost a very important customer. I told him I drive over an hour to shop at this store and have no problem driving the 20 minutes to shop at walmart. awipe...

Ok, I am getting bored of JCP, but yet I find myself there again. I walked around the store 3 time, and finally ended up by the socks again. Used the coupon 3 times today.
Just to set the record straight, I do not have the coupon the OP is referring to. I have not even used the coupon that was forwarded to me. it has been deleted. Please do not PM me, even if OP tells you that I *sent it to her* or *have the link*

OP has me very very confused on what and why they are telling people this. Confused3

Sooooo, if you PM me based on a *referral* from OP, don't be surprised if I do not respond!

I'm sorry you are feeling bad. You are almost there!! I have been feeling really down lately too, but yesterday was my last day of work until after Christmas, and amazingly, this morning I woke up in the Christmas spirit ....hopefully after the semester ends and you get a break, you'll feel better soon. Don't worry about being a Debbie Downer, you're never that!

I would find out who the regional VP (if they have 1) or the next higher up is! I would not stop until somebody takes you serious! That is absolutely ridiculous! Whatever happened to the customer is always right.
That DM must also be forgetting that word of mouth is very powerful. You tell 10 people they tell 10 people and so on!

The corporation I work for goes by the saying "The customer is always served." Therefore the customer may not always be right, but we still do our best to give exceptional guest service and fix the situation to the best of our ability. I so much prefer this way of thinking. Believe me if my customer's were always right this world would be a sad sad place.

I will try to find out. It is getting frustrating. I do not want money, I do not want giftcards, I do not want anything but to be taken seriously as I am shopping there. I am spending my money, which is in turn supporting their saleries. My coupons have nothing to do with their wages. My coupons are all legit (at this store I have done the glade deal once and that was before i got edmucated! LMAO ), I do not test waters, etc. I play it cool. I need to shop at Target because I love the store and love the products. I hate walmart with a passion and refuse to shop there. Plain and simple.

I agree with your last sentence, and it is true. There are some customers who are not right and oh boy they drive me crazy! I have worked retail, I know what it is like. I have worked Target during the christmas season (in the toy section as a leader). I know what it is like! I just do not understand the stupidity of this whole problem. I am using coupons to save money. In this time of the economy it is necessary for most. I do not have to use coupons. I do it because I love it, and I enjoy the thrill.

I think if I were you I'd be tempted to go back there as often as I could using as many 100% legit coupons as I could. I probably wouldn't use any printed because they always find some way to say that they aren't real, but I would order tons of the Rayovac from the paper, $5 luminair, anything that matches with a Target coupon and makes a good deal and all of the other ones that give me free stuff. As I was checking out I would be overly sweet, showing how each coupon matches to each and every product exactly like it should. I might even suggest that they call Lakeshia over and explain that she likes to look through all of my coupons. Then as she looked over them, I would offer to help her get started doing coupons so that she can get some good deals too. I'm just kind of a smarta** like that when I get mad.
I'd have a copy of the corp letter and I'd only shop when corp was open so that I could call them from inside the store if necessary. If you do end up having to call corp though, just keep hanging up until you get someone from one of the American call centers or ask them to immediately forward you to a supervisor. I've learned not to waste my time with someone who doesn't speak English, there is just too much of a communication barrier to get anything solved.
Good luck!

I agree call the LOD over and give her a coupon training lesson.

The one time when I had the red phone ring. I was actually planning on spending $$$$.
LOD came over and verified every coupon I used. I was told no a couple of times. No HP peelie after using $3 coupon. TGIF has to be adjusted down. There might of been something else too. But....every seen the phone hasn't rang and the LOD just looks bored when I get into line with a bunch of coupons.

Good Luck

Hopefully the store actually reviews the tape and does something about it.
