The only excuse for this is that it counted the Hershey's MC as 3 coupons.

You're right. The register will "attach" x/2 to two items. So, only one coupon can be "attached" to each item.

I thought it was considered a coupon, but it is not, it is a sale price. Now I know!

I'm not sure what "expert" means, but I can tell you that as long as I've been doing WAG ESR, it's always been before coupon price. As long as the item doesn't automatically ring up the sale price (sometimes the 7 days qs have been already programmed into the register- rare), then the rebate is for the amount before coupons.
Also, see MisterBill's post. These were on MegaSaver and rang up kind of oddly on the receipt, depending on how many you purchased per transaction.

I feel silly asking this, but if an IVC is for something like 3/0.99 (bubbles this week) or the cups that are always 8/$1 do you have to get the full quantity on the IVC or can you get one? Like if I wanted one thing of bubbles would the IVC still work?

You can buy just 1.

you do not have to buy the amount listed on the IVC coupon. You can buy only one if this is what you want.

Ok now I feel bad. I just got home from Wags and am looking at my receipts. I bought

colgate 3.49
- 1.00 colgate q
candy egg .59
3.08 TOTAL
used the 3.00 RR from edge
.08 + tax oop

I only bought the eggs cause i needed a .51 filler and well I had my kids with me and thats what they wanted.

NOW the part I feel bad about, I didnt know there was a wags q in this weeks flier. I guess I wasnt paying attention cause I really dont buy candy, and the cashier (who I really LOVE) typed in the q and it took off .20 for the egg. So now that im looking at my receipt my total is -0.18 which they must have taken out of the tax.

I have 4 kids (1,3,5,7) all asking for stuff so I really wasnt paying much attention, which is why I always go to this cashier cause she always scans in all my qs so I dont have to 'watch' her closely.

ANYWAY, now that I see it went neg and my tax was paid with the neg amount will she get in trouble for it? We did it 3 times. I actually just gave her all my qs and RR and she did her thing while I made my son calm down. I use my gc too so I didnt actually pay her anything.

Ok so long story but will I get her in trouble? Im thinking of going back and fixing it but not sure how or even what to say. I totally love this cashier and dont want her to get in trouble over me not paying attention.

thanks

How long does it usually take for a rebate gift card to arrive after it is marked "shipped"? Mine says shipped on 4/01 and I still don't have it so now I'm getting worried :(
