Okay, I'll represent Michigan's thumb.

Store #8053 Gratiot Blvd., Marysville, MI- The staff is so great and coupon friendly. Manager is as well, she'll even show you where all the great deals are.

Store #8301 Lapeer Ave., Port Huron, MI- Worst store ever! Right Guard ECBs didn't print so she called the manager (who never left his office) who proceeded to tell the cashier to write on the back of my receipt that I was owed $35.00 ECBs. I took it to #8053 and the manager there printed it for me. Then she had to go to #8301 and train the manager how to force print the ECBs. Insane, they never know what's going on.

Store #8117 3530 Pine Grove Ave, Port Huron, MI- I've never had a problem, but nothing outstanding. This is definitely my number 2 store.

Store #9173: 2760 Fletcher Parkway El Cajon, CA 92020 I love this store! The cashiers are very well trained and very friendly. There's one who's really nice and always greets me when I walk in and she knows I'm a big coupon shopper. Caught her one day training someone on the register and she said, "You'll see, she's a real good coupon shopper, watch." Then she was telling the girl, "With someone who has a lot of coupons, never put the coupons in the folder until they leave. I always stack them in front of me. That way if something goes wrong and they want to see what happened because they usually have it all planned out, you don't have to find all the coupons." I'd say their out of stock is about the same at the Santee store. Usually what I can't find at one I can find at the other unless it's a big thing like the SoftSoap.

Santee Store - Most of them are great in there very helpful. I've only had issuses with one and that was more her being passive aggressive.

Hey those are my stores also but I've yet to go there! Still trying to figure out this whole couponing way of life!

my CVS is in Stanley, NC on HWY 27..but I am hoping they will build one closer to me. I love this store, the cashiers all think it is great how I can get a lot of stuff for cents on the dollar and some even have taken coupon tips from me. I am not crazy about two of the managers there though, because they aren't nearly as nice as the others, but I just try not to deal with them unless need be. they sigh and seem irritated when I want to do more than one transaction. I just prefer my other ladies and the little guy too.

My cvs isn't that big though, I guess because this is a small town, they didn't want to make the store too big or something. there is not much clearance room or large sections of everything, but I am only 1 of 4 heavy couponers that frequent this store, so I normally get to have all my deals. I go on Sunday morning, just in case, plus they are expecting me now lol and if I don't show or I am late they wonder why. lol I feel loved!

My CVS is in Watkinsville, GA and is only about 6 months old. Absolutely love the store! I just started CVSing about 2 months ago and did my first big deal on Thanksgiving morning. The clerk that morning actually loved how well I did and dug through my pile of coupons to be sure I used everything I could! She was great. Also had a great experience on 12/21 with the clerk even though some of the items weren't in stock or were short to complete my deals. The store is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Oconee County, where Watkinsville is located is the most affluent county in Georgia which has pluses and minuses for my couponing...definitely not as many couponers to compete with, but you are certainly looked down upon using the coupons...you would think I was using food stamps! When I get the dirty looks I just put on my

I'm lucky in St Pete FL to have 5 CVS's all easily accessible in a 7 mile loop from my home!

54th Ave S. & 34th St S. ~ has the most items in stock & is a 24hr store. The staff is very helpful and does not mind multiple transactions (w/ the exception of one woman, I'll be nice & not name her here!). With that exception, they LOVE $0.00 due transactions! They will NOT write rainchecks on XtraBux free items here even if you bring them a copy of corporate policy.

Central & 34th St. ~ is shiny & new. Some staffers are unfamiliar w/ coupon policy but I'm teaching them quickly! Only beef is the free standing scanner has been out of paper for 2+ months & that bugs me to no end! Complaints to Mgmt. haven't been successful, next is an email to corporate! They WILL write rainchecks on all sale items here.

Central at 58th St ~ usually out of stock, impatient staff, dirty bathroom. Only go here if there's something specific on hold from calling ahead. Have no clue about rainchecks cuz I try to avoid 'em.

Gulfport Blvd, So. Pasadena ~ AWESOME! Staff love's couponer's, are happy to go out back for additional stock, will tell about sticky coupons I may have missed, stock is shaky sometimes but they make up for it with the jokes & smiles! They will NOT write rainchecks on XB freebies however they will accept them from other stores (strange??).

Gulf Blvd, SP Beach ~ Staff sucks, REAL tight about coupons, Mgr acts like he's doing you a personal favor instead of doing his job, only good thing is the location = few couponers/CVSer's so the stock is usually ok. Never bothered w/ rainchecks here cuz they're so snotty about everything else I'm afraid to ask lol

And those are the stores I love I love I love
those are the stores I love

Tallahassee, Florida:

Store #4478
3831 NORTH MONROE STREET
TALLAHASSEE, FL 32303
850-536-0417
*This is a great store, usually have weekly ECB items in stock on Sunday, good about refilling monthly items, too. Customer service is almost always top-notch. Has 2 coupon printers as well.

Store #4639
5810 NORTH MONROE STREET
TALLAHASSEE, FL 32303
850-562-9348
* Avoid this one like the plague. The store manager is VERY anti-coupon, and makes the employees anti-coupon as well. A few good cashiers, but overall I'd say its more trouble than its worth.:sad: No coupon printer at all, and consistently out of stock. They also won't write RC for ECB items.

Store #710
1708 NORTH MONROE STREET
TALLAHASSEE, FL 32303
850-385-6136
*Another great store, great customer service, out of stock alot (but this one is in town and is 24 hrs, whereas the prior one are a little out of the way) but will write rainchecks no problem. Also has coupon printer.

There are many more in Tally, but these are the only ones I frequent.

Brookfield, IL on Broadway--Nice, big, clean store with a coupon scanner. Some employees nicer than others (none are rude, just some nicer than others), definitely my fave so far. **UPDATE** Not really my favorite store anymore--getting lots of "coupon" attitude lately & had to make a complaint to corporate about them.**

Brookfield, IL on Ogden--Small store, coupon scanner, takes competitor's coupons (don't know if this is a corporate or store policy). Never shopped there but I interviewed there and while I was waiting, saw how nice the employees are (I really should go there!) **I shopped here for the first time on Saturday. Cashier that was there tried to find me a Gillette Fusion Gamer Razor, she probably spent 10 + minutes looking for it, couldn't find it and offered me a raincheck with ECBs. Store is small but clean.**

Forest Park, IL on Harlem--Small store, coupon scanner not working today, dirty items on shelves (think exploded shampoo), checkout employee took care of someone who wasn't even waiting in line before me (first, and probably last, time at this store today)

Oak Park, IL on Roosevelt--Small store, didn't see a coupon scanner but didn't really look for one, employee who checked me out was nice (first time at this store today) **They DO have a coupon scanner**

Oak Park, IL on Madison--Small store, day I was in there-no sale items that I was looking for

for everyone living in lower wisconsin or upper illinois!! the Zion manager at CVS named xxxxxx was FIRED!! , the assistant who was at the Northside Kenosha CVS now has his own store! how cool!! !! He is a nice guy. not quite as coupon friendly as the northside and southside managers but not a jerk like that xxxxx was with humiliating couponers in front of other customers!! I am over the top thrilled!! i hope xxxx does not land at a walgreens now!! LOL but his attitude would fit with that company in many locations!!

Tampa Florida (Northwest/Citrus Park area)

Gunn and Anderson: Currently A+ and my favorite store, but there was just some big shakeup with management and nearly all the staff is different now, so I brace myself whenever I'm about to ring out with a newbie cashier. (Linda and Jason, I miss ya!!!) So far, everything is still great - very coupon friendly, stuff is nearly always in stock, coupon printer works, and shelf tags are up to date. No problem with rainchecks either.

Ehrlich and Lynn Turner: A-. This is a test store so there are sometimes some differences. But the staff is friendly, shelves are stocked, and they are getting used to me coming in every sunday morning. The only drawback is that the shelf tags are not always up to date - but that is balanced by the fact that one particularly awesome cashier sat there for a good 5 minutes wrote me a stack of rainchecks to get like a year's supply of cheap Ensure, back when I was caring for a sick family member. Will never forget that!

Hillsborough and Hanley - B-. 24 hour store. Day staff is great - there is one older lady there who is always proud of me when I work a good deal, but I was once treated VERY rudely by a night shift cashier. In general there's stock, but their coupon printer only works about half the time.
