cvs----Can't use coupons on sale items ?!?!?!?

[Clipper]

He is, as I like to say, talkin' out his butt.

That is absurd! No coupons on sale items. What an idiot! He clearly doesn't want sales for his store and doesn't understand that a coupon is CASH!!!

I believe I overheard someone (I believe he is an assistant mgr) talking to another employee yesterday about how CVS gets repaid for the Extra Bucks from the manufacturer.......BUT then he said "Manufacturer coupons, that's where we take a hit".....LOL he obviously doesn't understand how coupons work!

wow how silly of them! of course you can use coupons on sale items! otherwise why ever shop at CVS to begin with? and ditto, many times the adds even say to look for coupons in the sunday paper.

Yeeeeeeeeeah, I have a SM that was VERY happy months and months ago when I told him I had bunches of $20 coupons for onetouch glucose meters I wanted to use. Needless to say he ordered lots of them in for me to SPEND my coupons. :D He is also currently trying to order in the J&J kits for my raincheck. :D Some *smart* managers LOVE coupons!

I do not know how someone at that level can make a statement like this? I guess he must be terribly confused. If something this simple gets confused, I would hate to think about what other difficulties other shoppers would face at this store!

This was one of the first posts I read today and I nearly spit out my tea! Sheer nonsense! I only buy sale and cleareance items at CVS and with q's. So if they change that policy, I will take my business elsewhere, as would so many other, I believe. But of course, it does not make any sense. Maybe he forgot his morning caffeine fix and was not thinking clearly?

I coupon like most people on this site so I share your frustration. However, I do work at a grocery store and I can tell you getting reimbursed for coupons can be hit and miss. If you have too many of one kind of coupon sometimes the manufacturer will refuse to pay. They demand reports that prove you have purchased enough merchandise to have accepted that many coupons. Then they may or may not accept the movement reports since they require them to be on your suppliers letterhead and your supplier may or may not be willing to jump through hoops with you to convince the coupon company you actually bought enough stuff. We also need to keep in mind that some people (not any of us of course) copy coupons and of course that ruins it for everyone. Maybe this manager has been burned by fake coupons and would rather write us all off.
Don't anybody egg my car or anything I am just offering another side of this discussion that some people may not know.

Ah, the voice of reason...

Too funny........I can't stand Wags. It has to be an out of this world deal to get me to step foot in that store. Not to mention when they do have a great deal they only have maybe 5 of the items in stock. What a pain they are....lol.
