If you KNOW you have coupons & will want a certain number of something, ask your manager early to order some for you for the following week (Friday is too late here).
I talked to mine and asked if she could order me several Lifesavers so their 'normal' order would be available to anyone else. I asked when they would be in so no-one else could grab them up & she offered to keep them in the back for me. [this way, I also got to choose which flavors I wanted to some extent] I'm sure she was just a little worried when I didn't go in right away and there were 8 cases of candy waiting for me - I forgot she is fairly new & wouldn't know that I work 3rd shift.
I put in a request for Pert but I'm not sure about being able to use
2x $2 q's so I kept it pretty reasonable....all she could say is that they will take coupons until the register says no more & I already knew that.
Most managers are more than happy to order extra if you ask; it only adds to their sales & makes the store's bottom line look better.
