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?

Well, I've never opened a box for a coupon, but last week, found myself trying to shake a coupon out of a glade box (I was successful), and might have felt a little proud of my craftinesss

Oh, and as someone mentioned earlier. If you saw a stack of stickers or coupons that someone was putting on items - and they walked away and left the stack there, are those fair game? Or would you wait until they were placed on the item, then buy it to get the coupon..?

Yeah, that was part of the 'Psssttt' whisper I was typing when I was explaining some of us weren't here to participate in the pond's thread.. Never mind, I can see it clearly got lost in translation. laugh out loud

When I worked at a grocery store we were not allowed to take peelies that the person already pulled off the packaging. Try telling a customer that and not getting your ass reamed. Went over real well, let me tell you.

Ooooo! I have one! What if someone else was taking peelies off a box and you caught them and they dropped their "harvest" and ran away? Would you pick up what they dropped?

Huh What do you mean? A lot of the peelies say they can be applied to your current purchase.

You know I still see those darn (now expired and worthless) Ponds peelies sitting on products at my local stores, so if I had to do it over, yes, I would have gone and ripped every single one of them off two days before they expired. Don't even get me started on all those $10 Disney expired MQs still sitting at Kmart... Feel free to burn me at the stake now Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Look whatalotofstuff, just because you want to talk about it doesn't mean that you have to make a new post. We have made it obvious that this is a REPOST and therefore a thread is out there that is already discussing it. So instead of saying "awww hey guys I wasn't here Crying " please do a search and then use the appropriate thread.

We had to actually see the customer peel them off the product - or take a major search to verify it actually came off that particular item. Just in case they were peelie thiefs.

Outside the box, yes.
Inside the box, not unless I was buying it.
In Walgreens, everythings fair game. I'd pull it out of an employee's intenstine if it was a good coupon.
LMAO

I would never open the box to get a coupon. I will take 2 peelies if I am sure I will use them. Never more than that. I don't need bad karma. Will save deals for others to enjoy also.
