All you folks who hang out in the Target coupon thread, start hanging out here instead! When you've got something relevant to post about Target coupons, please post about it in the Target coupon thread! We'd love to hear about it, but NOT about your dog, your cat, your mom, your genital herpes, your... well, you get the idea.

Target is being silly, if anything, it's more exposure for them, they need to get over themselves.

Yeah, they are trying to make their customers out to be bad guys on account of the CA lawsuit against them. Roll

I have read the breakroom threads now and again. It's pretty obvious that they just don't like people getting stuff for free. One person actually comes out and says it. Then someone else chimed in that corporate actually makes money off the coupons, so basically don't piss off the guest.

Seriously, if the coupon doesn't say it can't be used on a trial, then it's fair game!

Why doesn't neekyme just post the ads to the google group or something a bit more stealth? Ninja

welcome back to chitchat Cherry!!!! Dance14 (you know I love that smilie!)

never had any bean coupons, but the way our cashiers have been lately, it's for the best. They don't appreciate a good family reunion like the good old days
Have a great day all! I'm off to the pool for DS's birthday party. No Target for me today-especially since the snarky cashier yesterday said "see you tomorrow because I know you'll be back". Whatev, smartass....(I've been there 3 times in 2 weeks...)
Just for you Tootsie! Dance14Dance14Dance14Dance14

Bean coupons? Did someone say bean coupons? Scratchchin <------(that time I meant to use that one laugh out loud ) Please, fill me in!

Oh my favorite is this one

Quote :
Haven't you guys ever had the lady with the cart full of products, and about 100 coupons? She has several coupons for every item(and not one item is right for the coupon), and in the end leaves owing 10 bucks on a total of what was 200 dollars? That's the people that you have to stand up to. Our AP gets involved when they see that.

I love this Target person!

Quote :
Most importantly, why do you care? Does Target give you a bonus if you turn away coupon lady? She's just going to take her business to Walmart, which if you haven't noticed, is doing better than the 'ol bullseye. Take the loss, gain the customer, and the other customers she's going to send your way. She'll more than buy her share, coupons or no. So again, why do you care so much?


No, it's a reality check. It's a job you work, nothing more. Why put yourself out there for Target's benefit? I'd take the woman's coupons and be done. She's happy, and she'll come back, and she'll keep spending at Target, and not across the street. Get fired? Get real. Have you seen half of the people who work here? Plenty should have been fired long ago. But management is retarded. You think Mitch Stover gives two shits about coupons? No. He's more concerned if Target stock drops so much as a dollar, because to him it means millions. No, it's not a terrible way to go through life. I simply hold no loyalty to a place that gives none back. I value family first, and make them my priority. These companies will try to make you focus on them. That's in their interest. I'm saying why should you care until they are willing to invest in you. If Target thought firing you would raise the stock price even a few pennies, it wouldn't matter how great you are at Target. Just keep it in mind.

Went in today and saw my most favorite daytime cashier ever just coming back from break. Would have been a slick windshield if he hadn't scanned the wrong side of my b3g1 cesar barcodes. Grrrr... So my PSA for today is this... if your cashier covers the wrong side of your b2g1 blinkie with his finger and then scans it, the register will prompt for price and you'll get .74 off instead of oh, whatever could auto.

I used the last of my kleenex Qs today. I'll be sad to see them go. Luckily cashier boy didn't cover the wrong side of that Q.
