so you are saying that all the clerks and managers in that store, look at every coupon and look for "do not double"?

I find my clerks and managers do not even look at the expire date much less "do not double". They do not have time. You may be on a list of familar faces and they eagle eye your coupons every time you go in there. Other people, they may just scan them and see what happens and obviously only a 9 would beep.

Yes they do look at every single coupon. They don't just do it to us, I have heard many other people have their coupons turned down.

It's just not worth the trouble anymore for us. We keep hoping that they will go back to their old policy and DH (katncaed on here) will stop by at least once during a triple event just to check with a couple coupons.

Although it isn't just during triple/super events they are eagle eyed about coupons now all the time. At least they are consistent.

Bummer is that I had some local friends who were just starting getting into coupons that were turned down with DND coupons over the summer that just gave up on coupons totally. They said it made them feel like criminals.

So if you are in the Greenville NC area don't bother taking DND coupons to Harris Tetter. It doesn't matter if they are 5's. The computer will double or triple them but then the employees are supposed to take them off or put in the right code prior to scanning them.

I agree - some stores are just harder on all couponers than others. I'm not sure if it's the same HT here in Winston but there is one that treats IPs as if you wrote them yourself with a crayon in the parking lot! I tried to explain to the manager once exactly where I got one (the $4 Purina IPs from earlier this year), gave her the website name and everything so she could look it up. Well, then the treatment changed from me being a fraudulent IP user to me being a complete idiot ("well, ma'am, I know you THINK you got it from a legitimate site but sometimes people don't know how to read a website address and they're not sure what site they're on, it wouldn't be YOUR fault if it was a fake - the internet is tricky")

Oh my stars. With that kind of response, I'd mark them off as hopeless....

I have also been to this store and I avoid it like the plague and I try to warn all my friends - DO NOT GO THERE! We have 5 others in town so there is no need to go there.
