I had bounty, CT, Durex, All detergent coupons. It was more than 20 coupons and all of them need to be K1ed. The cashier was ok and K1ed everything. But while I tried to dig out the giftcard to pay for the balance, the red phone next to the cashier rang and somebody talked to the cashier over the phone for like 2 mins. after hanging up, the cashier looked through the stack of coupons she just scanned (2 toys ETQs were on the top). I am not sure if she noticed the ETQs but she didn't say anything about the coupons, just let me pay for the transaction.
Is it possible that the LOD or the security guy noticed my stack of coupons from the security video and was calling to tell her to keep an eye on my coupons? What is the red phone for after all?
Also as I was driving out of the parking lot, I noticed that the security guy came out looking for someone. I was so scared that I might be the one he was looking for. I drove away fast.
Do you think I might have raised red flags?
What should I do next? anyway I will be staying away from target for a while I guess
Regardless, I wouldn't stay away. I would do a couple small runs with ALL legit coupons and see what happens, if anything. This will give them a chance to see you are using legit coupons, if they are watching you, and it will also help you feel better going in there.
The other day I asked my DH: why on earth would the stores treat heavy coupons users (by this I mean you have a coupon for each item in the order) like thieves? They are getting reimbursed anyways.
No thanks, I'll find my own!!!

Or maybe the red phone rang, because it was time for the girl's break or something, and they were just letting her know someone would be coming to relieve her. I have had the red phone used by the cashier right before my order, right when I got to the register she picked up the phone and asked for an LOD, plus flicked on her light so it blinked. I must have had a shocked look on my face, because the girl got off the phone asking for an LOD and said oh not you I just had to ask for pennies. I was thinking what the heck at first, since I had an order go from $50 to a .01 once a long time ago by underestimating my coupons and this girl remembered since it was her first day at Target when it happened.
They may be watching you, but don't worry just play it legit, and try to go to a different cashier next time at the same time of day and see what happens. Only use MQ and TQ for the specified item and no ETQ. That way nothing will be said and maybe they will forget about you if there is not a problem. And even if there is not a problem you are probably better off not using ETQ with the system changes anyway. My stores have always been a bit strict on them even before the changes, a few stores/LOD's took them but some stores usually rejected the expired ones. If you are being looked at eventually they will forget you and move on to someone else.
I will try your way NOW
THnks and happy targeting !
No.
However, if anyone actually asked me to help them, I'd love to do so.

Speed Racer USB Gift Card at Target
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thread Rating: Rate Thread: [||]
Did a search and did not find anything posted on this.
Was at Target today to buy the new Speed Racer toys and saw that they also had
a Speed Racer USB Drive Gift Card (62.9MB capacity). Not sure if you have to actually put some $$ value on the card or if you can just take a them.
I got 5 of these GC and told the cashier to either put 0.20 on each card or $1.00 on just one and let me have the other 4 at $0.00 value. I think she did not want the hassle so she just put $1.00 on one of the GC and let me have the rest with $0.00 value.
The back of the GC says the USB drive GC card contains
The Amazing Racer Family Mocumentary
Desktop Wallpapers
Coloring Pages
Mattle Toy Coupon
Target Game Code
I'm sure a 62.9MB USB drive is not even worth $0.20 but I did not know the storage capacity until I got it.
I attached a couple of photos of the GC. Sorry in advance, the photos were taken with the camera on the phone.
Anyway, if you're a Speed Racer fan ... maybe you'll want to get one.
