People taking peelies (coupons) off items in the store

Do you think it is wrong or okay for people to take peelies (coupons) off of items in the store when they don't ever buy that item?

Quote from Kristin :
I'd say it's theft. The coupon is basically free if you buy that item, not free for the taking. That would be like taking any other "free with purchase" item without buying said item.

There's nothing more annoying than going to buy an item and finding someone stole all the coupons off of them already. Mad
Ok, good point! How about tearpads? They are not attached to products...

How about wine tags on the wine bottles that say 'no wine purchase requred'?

Or should I create a new thread?

i think peelies are the purchaser's right. i mean, they bought the item, they have the prerogative to use it or not. whether these would not be used until promotion ends, it think getting peelies is still wrong.

i think the objective of the companies is to promote the product by actually buying the product.

and it's kinda weird not buying the item. cameras are around.

It's defacing unpurchased product, which is a crime.
EEEEWWWWW, she said defacing Big Grin

Quote from Sonofabeech :
Umm, no, Matlock. That doesn't qualify as defacement. The most anyone would be found guilty of - if the store decided to press the issue - is the value of the peelie. Most coupons state they are worth 1/100 of a cent (or so), making this not enough for stores to worry about.
