Rep-whoring? What does this mean? Someone explained it once, but I didn't get what they were saying.

You have to wonder, as they seemed pretty angry. Maybe they own a large chunk of Target stock, and think coupons are going to cut a slice into it.
I've read only 4% to 5% os shoppers even use coupons so it's hard to believe legit coupon use really cuts into it. I guess with coupon fraud it would though.

The photo is of Bono (singer for U2) who I loooooooove. Smilie
There are a lot of Targets and Super Targets here. If we ever moved, my first concern would be "how many Targets am I going to be near?" Sick, right?!?! Smilie

And, Pretzels is tall, pretty and SUPER nice. Smilie
I heart Bono too!

Pretzels how tall are you??? People always say that I am really tall, I guess I am at 5' 11", just wondering if you are taller than me. I would love to meet you as well but I am very far from you and pretty sure you would never travel out this way.

Quote from ArielA :
So I finally caught up in the T thread after not reading for about 34 hours!! WOW!!!!!!! LOTS of posts!!! I skimmed soooo much I am sure I misses stuff!! So I am applogizing ahead of time if in the future I ask silly/n00b questions Blush2
I'm not caught up, not sure if it's worth it to try. My mouse died and I was not able to get online or anything for three days. Finally got a new mouse at Target it was only $6 so not to bad.

Quote from stormy_cat :
I am having a crappy day. The baby bonked my nose with his head and I had a bad nosebled this morning. After I got that stopped I changed his diaper, and after I got him all wipe down he peed on me. And I am having serious Monster in law issues again.

Do you think a Target run will make me feel better?
hug Yes I do think a Target run will make you feel better, go for it!


Okay so since I was gone for 3 or 4 days I don't know if there is any new info that I should add to my siggy for the Kelloggs deal. If you have a link for a coupon or anything let me know. TIA!

I think it is most said towards people who repost coupons or info that others have posted in hopes of getting reps.

I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this, but no one on the trading thread wanted these. I have 8 more of the $10 off Electronic purchase of $100 or more coupons for Target. I can't afford to give these away as I did the other 15, but am looking for peelies or gift cards. They do expire on the 30th, so I want to get them out to people ASAP. If this isn't the right place, please deleteSmilie
You probably wont get any takers as there someone has a PDF out there

Oh I was only joking about the stock thing, it was in reference to someone who got all upset about someone's coupon use! Big Grin Why else would they care! laugh out loud I'm sure coupon use is not cutting into stock prices like that. Sometimes putting coupons out probably helps a companies stock as it will get people to buy your product that otherwise would not have.

Thanks for the Rep-whore explanation!

I used to do Accounts Payable, so every time I see AP this is what it reminds me of. However, I have also wondered where the Asset Protection people in my store are as well. Are they the security guys at the front of the store, or are they plain clothes people in the store or both?

silly girl, yes I have it! He likes it, but doesnt play with it as much as I thought he would. I am giving him some time. When you are done with it, they go for around $25-30 used on Craigslist around here. So I am sure he will use it more when he gets a little older. I also have it next to my couch so that he cant get back in the corner, so that may have something to do with it.

Sounds like you are having the same kind of day I am having

I did a ST run today, and I am feeling more confident again!

The LOD that has hassled me on my razor q's and purchases, was on duty but didn't give me a second look, so I think taking two weeks off was a good thing.

It helped that the cashiers that I don't like where all missing in action, I got a new guy(well new to me) and he was an awesome jedi! He even pushed my 5/50 thru buy hitting store q $5 because it beeped that the $ amount had not been meet.

i have seen guys in my stores stocking and pricing items carrying arnd a walkie talkie...have also seen them as backup ashiers but have never had the guts to go to them thinking they are AP guys...does it happen to anyone else that even if you have completely legit coupons (well most of it) but you are still nervous in the checkout lane...once i went with my dh , he just wanted to pick something up no coupons nothing..and i was still nervous looking here and there ...

Yeah, all of the girls attacking me last night and telling me I was copying things - do they not realize T gets that money and then some from the manufactures. AND - I am driving up their sales bc all my friends see me coupon and are starting to do it too only not saving tons of money. SO - I am causing more traffic to their stores and my friends are buyting things they would not normally buy. Isn't the point of T and other stores to MOVE MERCHANDISE? The same lady that said I was copying cpns said "coupons are meant to save money, not get things free" in a very condescending voice. I guess I forgot to read that line in the small print on the coupon - this coupon is meant for you to save money, but not too much money. Mad

Asset Protection - the target rent a cops in Target cop uni's and plainclothes too. I overheard someone talking about one of the plainclothes ppl the other day. Every T AP I have see in uniform looks about 14 and stoned.
