Mostly Eric said that he won't refuse any coupon, ever (even if it's a year past expiration), he'd just say, we;ll be happy to take it, but "just this time" kind of thing. Marcy said that she appreciates all couponers and likes people to get good deals. I am going to give T-Leigh some things next time I see her (she wasn't there yesterday) b/c she's so awesome. I don't want top go into the negative either. I agree with you there. <br /><br />Crystal- I had one coupon, it was from a coupon booklet near the Corona at my Kroger store. It was a Corona booklet special. . . but I traded for 13 more from someone on HCW (he got them from the same booklet). I am on the hunt for more b/c my 4 year old can eat an entire avocado in a single sitting. :)Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-54246268096007596582009-06-21T00:14:23.747-05:002009-06-21T00:14:23.747-05:00Awesome shopping!

I'm assuming that the topic was overage? I would like to know what they said to you about the view that Publix takes on overage (if any). Is this just their personal view or does Publix take a stance? I've been trying to research this on the side.starbucksgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636163625257954244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-32717432883722216402009-06-20T23:43:17.235-05:002009-06-20T23:43:17.235-05:00I was also given cash back at the Cool Springs sto...I was also given cash back at the Cool Springs store on Moore's lane (some of the Customer Service staff are really friends towards couponers). All that to say, I don't like to go into the negative if I can help it. Although I know that it is ethical I also understand that it really bothers some of the staff at the store. The older women get really upset. I try to avoid this scene if at all possible because the staff can sometimes view me as being unreasonable with my couponing. I tend to have more problems at night when I shop than I do during the day.<br /><br />I think that the managers have to stay late to count my coupons and this hinders them from leaving to be with their families. I think I'm going to stop shopping at night at Publix because the cashiers are the most unfriendly then. It would be like ordering 20 drinks at Starbucks right before they are trying to close. It's not viewed as being courteous and since I want to keep my cashiers happy I'll do whatever it takes.<br /><br />I gave the cashier all of my pork yesterday at Nipper's Corner because he was so helpful and I could tell that he was feeling nervous about my coupons. I want to have a good reputation so I've been spending more time giving some of my stuff away so that folks won't think that I'm just a super tightwad that's out to get Publix (even though we both know that isn't the truth).

She no longer asks the cashiers if "she has coupons over the amount" because I have told her before that Marcy and Eric both ok'ed it. But she still doesn't like it. Marcy and Eric both will just come over, input their code and say, "Great job!" and carry on a conversation- the other manager (I don't know her name? Female, brown hair?) she doesn't seem to encourage the coupons, but she approves them without asking a bunch of questions. <br />Now that I know Eric's stance on coupons, I can use that if Carol or anyone else gives me a hard time. :)<br /><br />I am going back on Monday and I'll get my ice cream then! I am holding out for the $2/1 coupons in the paper tomorrow- hoping that we get them. Otherwise, I'll have to use the $1.50/1 printables. :) (Still great, but no overage... that's pretty sad, huh?)Earthy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235627001435406029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819680504351677468.post-26747411346413672362009-06-20T20:02:35.901-05:002009-06-20T20:02:35.901-05:00I went into the negative again at the Royal Oaks s...I went into the negative again at the Royal Oaks store yesterday in Franklin; didn't mean to (they handed me $1.20 out of the register). <br /><br />I'm too tired to post it on my blog but it was a fun trip.
