I tried to buy 10 of each in the same transaction, which I have done a bunch of times and has never been a problem before. well the cashier told me she could only accept 4 coupons for each (a total of 8, not the 20 I tried to use) I asked her if this was a new policy (like as of yesterday???) and she told me this has always been the case. She corroborated with the 17 year old front end manager who also said this has always been the case! I told her that I have always used more than 4 identical Q's if I have purchased more than 4 identical items and have never been told of this policy. I was so !@#@#%#@$^T, that I told her to void out the 6 additional items of towels and 6 of dreamfields. She did. I stopped by customer service on the wasy out and their coupon poilcy is clearly posted. I asked the CS if it was a current poilcy and he said yes. The poilcy states that in stores which double coupons, a customer can double up to 4 identical coupons. It goes on to list an example that if a customer buys 5 cans of maxwell house, the cashier will double 4 of the coupons and give the 5 at face value (therfore allowing the customer to use as many coupons as they have items!!) I told the cs what had just happened at the register and he said "yeah, you can only use 4 of the same coupons) I read the policy to him and he said "well 'they' told us that you can only use 4 coupons". AGGGGHHHH. I will be sending a letter to pathmark asking for a complete copy of their coupon policy to have with me when I shop again. I am sooooo frustrated. The cashier suggested i get back on line a few more times. If that is ok, why can't she just sell them to me in one transaction? Sorry for the rant.

My PM only takes 4 of the same coupon, regardless of whether it's doubled or not. It's been their policy for a while. I have many times done numerous transactions, sometimes back to back. Kinda silly, huh? Regarding the coupon policy, I e-mailed corporate last week for it and they said each store has their own coupon policy. Which doesn't make sense to me. Let us know if you get one. Thanks.
(side note: shopping can be frustrating. I broke out in a sweat today at Wags trying to do the Theraflu deal that the manager didn't like. He did end up doing it but it was so frustrating!)
