She gave me the discount and had me write down my name and zipcode on a form that she had in a drawer under the cash register....I figured it must be their way of making sure that no one customer tries the "I forgot it at home" more than one time per day  | The Michael's I shop at in Michigan makes you write down your name and zipcode when you use a Joann's coupon at their store. Not sure why they do that because when you pay at the register, they have a key they have to press for "competitors coupon" AND they ask you for your zip code for EVERY transaction whether or not you are using a coupon, competitors or store. Seems like they could gather data from the registers. IMO, seems like a big waste of their resources. Slows down the line, slows down the cashiers, and it has to annoy some customers... |
