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?

Just curious, why would anyone take peelies that they will not use? Are there peely collectors? Is it like stamp collecting? Only thing I can think of is for later use.
I think some people go out just looking for peelies and tearpads to take and take them all. They sell them on FB, if you can't find them search the bay and you might find the er thief?

If they didn't want you to take it then they wouldn't have put it on the outside.

Iagree

I've been known to take a few peelies but I rarely find them, I'm to slow to notice them before they are gone. I don't see the big deal taking a few extra when you will use them. If you don't when you go back they WILL NOT be there 99.99% of the time.

He should. Not like he has anything better to do. Plus, he gets paid in OT's and sammiches Smilie I am so eager for lunch time to get here lol - I have three more Walgreens to pillage. I finally found an area FREE of SD peelie "thiefs." I can't let those 1-800 flowers stickers go to waste!

I concur. I'm taking them all, that way, I save someone else the moral dilemma of whether to take a few or ALL!

Ah ha! I just need to make friends with the peeps who have a plethera of peelies and then maybe I can score a few that way! I should have read the Wags thread now I'll be three or four days behind looking for those peelies and they must be gone by now.

Your right is wasn't. But it will never be the small SD again, me thinks it's only going to get worse. Frown SD is growing to fast. Frown More $$ for the big man though, I'm sure he is happy with the growth on SD.
