Wags Mgr angry @ websites like HCW

[adiablue]

I went into Walgreens tonight (second trip today) and spoke with the usual manger. She had to come over because the cashier couldn't get my last coupon to work.

I remebered as soon as the mgr figured out the problem. She said that I couldn't have more coupons than items. I told my mom to RUNNNN and pick out ANYTHING (cheap--There was a line of like 5 ppl forming). I appologized to the mgr, saying casually that 'the girls online warned me about this'. She angrily remarked her displeasure with websites like this one. This was the first time I ran across a store employee that was ***ANGRY*** that I used an internet site! Actually the girl that rang up my Dove Shampoo/ Conditioner hinted at her disapproval.

I guess not everyone could be happy that I got 16 bottles of Olay body wash ($22 +$7 RR-- couldn't use my $5/$20 q), 10 bottles of Dove shampoo/ conditioner ($15), and 16 sticks of Speed Stick/ Lady Speed Stick deodorant ($4 Rite Aid)!

Doesn't she realize that since I found this place, I am now spending bookoos of money at WG, whereas, before this I would have never stepped inside of a WG at all?
Granted I get nearly all my money back using coupons, rebates and all () but it is still highly beneficial to them to have me there once per week!

They should be HAPPY about sites like this. I never would have even started shopping at WAGs without HCW. They're gaining more customers and if they treat us good then we may go there if we need something else.

Sheesh.

I totally agree with the previous posters. I guess the managers haven't realized that in today's economy everyone needs to make their money go further. Too bad for them they haven't found an awesome site like this.

I'm really lucky - every time I have been in Walgreens they have been super nice and helpful - a few ladies there recognize me right when I walk in the door and greet me with smiles! I'm glad because it's the only Walgreens around for miles and miles. It really is hard now days to find places that still believe in good customer service.

Next time she says that, just quote... who was it? Motley Crue?

"Don't go away mad... just go away"

Wow. I wish they could just see how it is beneficial to them for us to be talking about Walgreens all day long. Without this, I wouldn't even have gone there. But I was in doing a deal, and guess what? I remembered that I needed milk, saw that it was a decent price, and they made a sale. I think it's just lack of knowlegde about coupons on her part.

That's so disrespectful of her. You did not ask her weather she liked this kind of website or not. I go there cause of websites like this. Never really did before that!

Wow, that seem so ignorant on that manager's part. I can honestly say that I never went into Walgreens before discovering coupons and HCW. I always thought it was for people who had more money than time (or sense) because everything was so inflated. But using coupons and doing the deals make it possible for us to shop there and help PAY HER SALARY!

Seriously? Why do people feel the need to voice their opinions on topics that nobody asked them about? Maybe she's just angry she's not getting the deals we are!
