Yikes! Thanks for letting us know. This is the official Kroger policy - a cashier showed it to me once, but Fry's has never enforced it across the board. Good to know that they probably will at a higher rate now. May cause me to go back to Basha's - they are really slow with Qs b/c they have to read every single bit of small print but at least they do not limit how many will double.

the cashiers at my store are great and most opologized to me about the new enforcement. I told them all it is okay. I will just get more creative. I definately wouldn't want one of the cashiers to get fired and I have been told it is a fireable offence.

yah it is truely a pain, esp when u are doing a mega deal, then u have an item out of stock, and then u have to regroup. and its really hard for me to tell my customers the new policy and that it is truely being forced. so just break up your orders, and have a stand by plan during mega deals.

i totally believe if corp wants this policy followed.......then they should get the registers set so it wont double over 3 likes, because there are people who are going to try to work their way around it, and it is going to make us cashiers the "watch dogs", which is going to slow down the lines.

I have never heard of this policy until recently when I went to a different Fry's- the cashier was extremely rude. My normal Fry's has never said anything about this. Is this an official policy and if so, where can we get a copy of it?

I'm fine with doing multiple transactions- but it sure seems like a lot of extra work for the cashiers.

yes this is the offical one, plus some other rules they have tagged onto it. i have the employee copy, but u would prolly have to ask a csm for a customer copy.

Here is Fry's official coupon policy. They will only double the first 3 per transaction, but if the coupon is for $1.00 or more and doesn't need to be doubled, you can use as many as you want. If I have more than 3 of an item that has to be used, I always just do two seperate transactions, and if it is for a lot of things, I do it at self check out so that way the cashier isn't as tense with me. Also, I always carry around a copy of their coupon policy with me in my coupon binder. You have no idea how many times I have had to pull it out to "prove" a cashier wrong.....anyhow...Props to the great cashiers out there that are patient and nice to us coupon shoppers!

Anyhow, here it is:

I have worked at fry's as a cashier for 13 years now. The coupon policy is they will only take 3 coupons, but it depends on the cashier, some will take more, it is more of a pain not to. The coupons all double automatically, the only way they do not double is if the cashier puts them in manually. It will take all coupons unless they are expired or you did not get, or got the wrong item. If you get a cashier that will not take them, then chances are they are pretty new.

Holy Moley! I have never had a Frys cashier ever tell me I can't use Qs at the Tucson Frys on Speedway and Pantano. Usually they say something about what a great job I did with my Qs. On the other hand the Frys at 22nd and Harrison always give me grief (plus they never have anything in stock).

The Fry's stores that I go to (at 35th Ave & Thunderbird and 43rd Ave & Cactus in Phoenix) BOTH double more than 3 coupons if I have them. This week's ad has Fiber One bars and Nature Valley bars for $1.57 if you buy 4. I used 8 - 40cent off coupons for the Fiber One bars and the cashier took them all witout blinking an eye.

I guess it all depends on where you go and what cashier you go through.

I've always gone by the three rule wrt doubling. I've been doing the mega deal in groups of ten as well. I've used over 3 $1.00 coupons several times this past week and haven't had any problems.
