I just used it today. Beeped INF, but cashier K1'ed it, because I obviously had the item. Until they start circulating a paper saying its no longer valid, I will continue to use it.

I agree, as always though it's up to the store staff because some refuse to believe INF has nothing to do with the item not actually being there. laugh out loud

And this will all die down. Just like it did with the $4 handbag TQ a few months ago, and countless other examples over the years. There is always a brief explosion of asshats, but luckily they seem to tire easily. Just like with every update change, life will go on.

Wow you all have been busy! Had a nice little vacay in New York and didn't even bother couponing since T is so wild right now. I see we got a new thread too?

So now that I am back, are there any deals going on? Updates? I see something about another C9 coupon out. PM me if needed. Thanks!

Is there a history with that shopper? 'Cause although I wouldn't attempt to purchase 10 C9 items, it doesn't seem like he did anything "wrong" per se.

It seriously amazes me that Target allows their guests to be treated this way, and finds nothing wrong with it. AND that their employees are trained so poorly, not just in accepting regular everyday coupons, but their OWN Qs, generated from their OWN website!! I have personally had a manager spread all my Qs out on the counter and tell me, "I think you know why I have a problem with this." Since I had no idea what the problem was, he told me that I had faked all the Target ones. Faint First of all, I am nowhere near that computer-savvy. Secondly, the fact that he was the GM of the store and had NO CLUE about promotions going on completely floored me. Inexcusable, if you ask me.

And teri, I'm praying for you and your family, that the doctors get everything sorted out as quickly as possible, with the least amount of side-effects/pain as possible. hug Its no fun when someone you love is hurting.

I don't think 10 various items is a big deal either.

Quote from flugette :

I must have missed that as well.

And come on people, and I mean a lot of people that aren't posting in this thread either. If the post was so bad, so abusive of Target practices that it outrages you, that should be taken to pm as well. For goodness sake, don't keep replying to the same post, which just keeps it fresh in people's minds.

Making a new catch phrase for Target asshattery based on one person's post, that seems a little like a personal attack imo. That person was wrong but what is the point of beating them continuously? Instead it gives smash and grabbers more ideas.

Target needs a smokin' hot TQ on mirrors. There are way too many people doing T deals who don't seem to realize that they're wearing their arse on their head.

Quote from .teri. :
Surgery last night didn't work Sadwalk His surgeon is sending him to the university medical center to see the neuro surgeons there. He said it has gone beyond his expertise. We're waiting for the MUSC to get a bed and and ambulance to transport him. The good thing for DS is the increased pressure makes him sleepy so he is sleeping through most of this.

I went to the doctor too this morning on my way to the hospital. Bad case of bronchitis and inflammation in the tissue somewhere. Anyway, I got a steriod shot and a bunch of meds. The shot started working and I am feeling better. Anxious about what the new docs will need to do...His doc talked to us a bit about the ventricularostomy. He said it is a relatively simple procedure as neurosurgery goes, but when it goes bad, it goes really bad. So that has me terrified. Keep positive, Teri.
hug I'm so sorry!! My thoughts are with you guys and positive thoughts coming your way!

nod I said this last night. (or was it this morning?) anyhow, asshattery seems to be the norm these days.

You know, 10 different items *isn't* a big deal. using 10 identical PRINTABLE TQs in the same transaction to me is yet another example of NOT going under the radar. Especially when you don't have a cartful of other items. I wouldn't use above 3 or 4 at a time, but I'm an "under the radar" gal and guess what? I never have problems with cashiers, LODs, GSTLs, etc. Coincidence? yeah, I get that some people don't live close enough to break up their runs into different times or days. I'm in the same position, but I still manage to not asshat my store Mad
