Giant Eagle ~ Other new coupon policy change as of 9/2/10

I have been going to this new cashier the past few weeks at my GE (erie, pa area) and as I handed him 40 coupons for the dial soap deal, he told me that starting September 2, 2010 GE is limiting people to 12 of the same q's. Since this is a corporate store, I'm assuming this will be for all of the corp. stores.

If you would like to know a little more about it, there is a disscussion on it in the current week's chit-chat thread. One of the lady's in there even has an email of the revised coupon policy that corp sent her.

Actually, it's great that you started a thread for the subject. This way, no one will miss it.

I shop at GE in Erie, PA also, havent been there this week......12 coupon limit just means more transactions for me, imho....

I don't see how this is going to stop people from taking things off the shelves. Ok so if the policy is to limit to 12..what's stoping you from taking your stuff out and going to another check out? unless the have the police on it or something?

i don't understand why they would even change it UNLESS it's per card!

Here's another thought.... Why would they limit how many coupons you use when ordering something from the store..because your ordering a LARGE amount and it would not be taking from the shelves ...??????

Ok i understand they maybe losing money..but why all sudden are they making this change? surely they would of back when they did all those white and red poster and cutting prices right?

just some thoughts

I'm not going to get worked up about it. 12 like q's at once is great IMO and should be compatible with cat deals. Plus, 12 like q's would be 12 $1/1, 12 .75/2, 12 .50/1 q's for the same product.

I have only tried to order one time - canned cat food that they never had in stock (my cat will only eat one flavor) and they never ordered it for me.
