They are suppose to be training the cashiers. I am going to test it out today with the policy in hand.
I really can’t believe the part about giving cash back.
I am going to try it with the 3.00 Gain and Purex coupons.
I don’t expect it to be easy at first.
The whoosh Walgreens just heard was Walmart stealing their business.
This has hit the internet world and got the couponers excited.
This is actually a bold move and really could effect both Walgreens and Walmart. It could also effect the Kroger chain and Kmart etc,
Walmart has power with the manufacturers so I don’t know if they will have a problem with Walmart giving cash back or not.
Here is my test run.
Went to the front desk. Handed them the new policy. Said I was going to test it out. Be ready. Gave them the URL for the coupon policy on the policy so they could verify I didn’t make the whole thing up.
Of course no one in the story knew anything about it including the Assistant Manager.
For the test.
3.00 gain used on the cheapest gain sheets creates overage.
3.00 Purex used on trial size creates overage.
Register takes it.
I bought a gift card and a couple of other things..planned it out so I would pay less than two dollars after using register rewards.
Worked perfectly.
Then went to do the big one.
Bought Purex sheets and nothing else creating cash back situation.
Then comes the uproar . Everyone in a tizzy. Lots of people coming to the register. The lowest level supervisor was doing that black swivel neck thing saying you can never use coupons on trial size. I said, sometimes it will say excludes trial size or travel size but this does not. She wanted me to believe you can NEVER use it on a travel size no matter what the coupon says.
End result.
I got my cash back and they are going to check with headquarters about the new policy.
So the safest bet is to fly under the radar and put it on gift cards until this filters through the stores this week.
