 Re: Roll call for Fred's Discount Store Shoppers!!
I live in Tennessee. Today was my first day couponing at Freds. I'd never have known about their doubles had it not been for this forum. I talked with the assistant manager who said that in the past, Fred's had doubled Qs as large as a dollar. She said the company has started testing dollar doubles again but she wasn't certain if it will become a regular policy. She said one reason it ended was because of people requestion multiple transactions in order to overcome the 1 per like item policy. I guess it slowed down transaction times and required more staffing, though that's only my guess. I used to work in retail management and I could see where that would cause a need for more labor without much of a return as labor is always a store's biggest controlable expense. (Sorry, sounding like a corporate chick again...bad me.)
She advised me (as did a clerk on the floor) that a good way to get around the 1 per item issue was exactly what was mentioned here in another post; get your addition items in different "flavors/scents, etc" as the register will usually then allow the double. Works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
