Not accepting SmartSource IPs?

[keleetz]

Has anyone ever had any problems with your store not accepting the SmartSource IPs? At the old Wadsworth GE, I had a manager tell me that since they don't have the weird looking barcode that the Bricks do, on the upper right corner, they don't accept them. But they don't even scan that, so I am wondering if they said that because they might suspect it as counterfeit? On the other hand, I used some of the SS IPs on Lysol products a few weeks ago when they were on sale, and the cashier took them. But the same people work at the new Wadsworth GE (including that manager that refused them before) since they closed the old Wadsworth GE. It makes me not even want to print the SS IPs because I don't want the hassle of having to have them void the things they won't take the Qs for.
Anyone else have this experience?
Thanks!

The given ...

A retail establishment has the right to honor or not honor a coupon.

A customer has the right to shop somewhere else.

YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).

Usually, a store manager lowers boom based on recent experiences.

Heck, a manager can say:

"From now on, our store will not accept IP coupons unless they are neatly (cut on the hash lines) cut.

I purposely boogie to the local public library (Cuyahoga County Public Library) to print out my IP coupons.

When I am there, doing my thing, it is like printing money!!!

I will continue to do it even if one store chain gives me grief.

Other chains accept them so I have a Plan B.

Yes. Mentor, OH GE , the Head Cashier told me if it didn't have that funky black box thing that it was a copy and they wouldn't take it. It really ticked me off that she outright told me that I was trying to use a copy when I knew that I printed it from a legit site.
