Meijer ~ Vent Meijer-OMG Could not believe it!

As I was walking down the baking aisle getting ready to pick me up some Betty Crocker Frosting, I noticed something strange. Somebody had cut coupons right off the frosting package from about 30 frostings. I guess they were doing someone a favor by leaving one cut out coupon for the taking. The coupon wasn't even that great $0.25 off of one tub of frosting. Whoever did this cut it out perfectly with scissors. Did no one notice this? I mean 30 frostings would have taken some time to cut them out.

I just had to vent, because it's people like that who want to ruin it for everyone else! I guess on the bright side,there were TONS of BC potatoes and I was able to get enough potatoes to feed my family for a year!

Now that is a shame someone would stoop that low and do that. I can't believe they would do that and I think they should be ashamed of this. It could also make the store have "damaged" merchandise and not be able to sell it at full-price. Things like this cause couponers to have a bad name. Also the prices can and probably will go up depending on if this is the "new" trend which I sure hope it is not.

You know, I don't think I have ever seen a coupon printed directly on the outside of a package....

That is terrible though!

I know the Q's you are talking about - they are part of the label, but you tear it off the label to use it right then.... That coupon is not a peelie - it is designed to be part of the packaging (not added later like a peelie sticker) and therefore a part of the product - kinda like the Q's you have to cut off the back of a cereal box - I couldn't imagine cutting those off and leaving the boxes!!! That is just a shame....

That does sound really strange!! Who would take the time to do that???

Could there be a chance the coupon was expired but the frosting was still good and a store employee did it? You did say they were perfectly cut. I would think someone trying to steal product coupons from a package would do it in a hurry.

Its really weird because you can find frosting coupons EVERYWHERE. I probably have 3 in my binder right now and I only buy it once in a blue moon.
