I spoke to a cashier about the new Albie's policy of not accepting competitor coupons. She said that the cashiers for several months were told to ring up competitor coupons with a special code so that "they could track the amount the stores were losing" on competitor coupons. She said that in just a few months, the company lost over $8.1 million on competitor coupons. I'm guessing that's why Albie's changed their policy.
