Meijer-Computer System Updates Today

[DenaNeal]

At lunch time I went to Meijer, and while ring out (at self checkout), received a new message when I rang a coupon. The message was "COUPON EXPIRED". WOW!!! I don't use expired coupons (so I was super embrassed that I didn't realize the date was 6/14....) but the cashier was very excited?????? Anyway, she told me that they had a computer upgrade today and the system should be working better now (not so many coupon beeps/stops). Well -- it is working pretty good -- b/c now it picks up expired coupons!! In the meantime, they have also had a message ''coupon / item not recognized" -- so don't be alarmed if you see this as well. Maybe the changes / updates will help -- once they get the bugs all worked out -- to speed up check out. (My DH can never understand why it takes so long to go to Meijer)!!!

It felt like a miracle today - about 30 coupons, many of which were Mealbox, and NO BEEPS AND NO MISSED DEDUCTIONS!!!!!! Oh I hope it continues!

OK...I don't know where all of you are, but I shopped at Meijer today. The Col. Glenn Hwy store in Fairborn, OH (outside of Dayton). I noticed NO difference!! The poor cashier was trying to be nice, but you could tell she was getting flustered! Those $1/1 Bumblebee tuna coupons beep every time I use them. The error message they get is, "Coupon exceeds item price." Um...no it doesn't! The price on the tuna is $1.13, and the coupon is for $1. I bought 12 of them today, and she had to enter every one of them. Also the .50/1 Kraft 2% Naturals coupon beeped, telling her that I didn't buy the product.

Maybe they haven't fixed the ones in Ohio yet.

I would LOVE it if they fixed it so MB q's wouldn't beep! It would make self checkout so much easier!

I would be happy if they would even scan!! Let alone not beep!

Tonight I got several things and it did go a bit better than in the past. The mealbox Q's still beeped, but the U scan attendant quickly pushed something at their station and then I got the please insert coupon screen. I think that's the first time I've seen that for a MB. Still, I don't see their software should stop at all with the mealbox Q's, but I guess they're still feeling burned by giving away free Jello last year.

Also, I had a $2 cat from the country time lemonade and it scanned as $2 off just like any other coupon, without the "wait for assistance" junk. Seems a bit better maybe, if they would only got back to letting the mealbox Q's go through. But if the choice is 1 per transaction, or they each beep, I'd rather take the beeps so I can use a reasonable number (3 or 4) in one transaction.
