Walgreens: Airwick i-motion FREE!!! - Page 3

Shannon T · 10-20-2009, 11:17:14 AM

I purchased 2 airwick from Wags this afternoon. 1st Q went through 2nd one beeped. The cashier said I have no idea why this wont go through. I said you need to adjust the coupon down by .02 since both products were .01 cheaper than my Qs. She said okay that makes sense! And did it??? No problems. Just paid my tax!

I went to Walgreens today to find these and did...the problem came when it was time to pay and the coupon beeped! I told her that it was because the coupon was for a penny more than the price and she had to adjust one or the other to make it work...she called the manager and he came over and said that that would be UNETHICAL!!! In our conversation, he said that three times! There were probably 5 or more(?) people behind me, so I went back to my cart. (I was going to just buy one of the I Wicks to make sure it worked BEFORE I bought my other stuff.) I guess the worst part is that I felt like I was trying to STEAL it! It is not my fault that their price is lower than the coupon's price!!!
SO............................
I went to my car (still shaking from being embarrassed/upset,)and I called corporate. The girl told me that it is up to the manager on duty whether or not they WANT to adjust the price. I argued that the MANUFACTURER wanted me to be able to use that coupon! I explained that I was kind of embarrassed and felt like I was stealing in front of the other customers! I did ask for the managers name and told the woman that I didn't want to get anyone in trouble, I just wanted to use my coupon...
The girl at corporate also asked if there were any other Walgreens I could try the coupons at? ARE YOU KIDDING??? Now I have to drive around to other Wags to find a nice manager to adjust my coupon a PENNY??? By the way, both of the Wags are about 12-15 miles from me! Wow, what else can I say??? LOL

See normally that is my Wags' policy as well. They will not adjust the price of the item up to the q value (and it IS coupon fraud to adjust the value of the q down) but they were not rude about it like that at all. Today I asked before trying the imotion and she said it should work since I had other stuff I was buying. The q beeped and she just pushed it thru at $4 even tho the item was $3.99 But typically they will not adjust at my Wags so I was pleasantly surprised today. It's all YMMV on price adjusting the item. I don't think corporate will step in over it, but you could try talking to the store manager about his/her store's policy and possibly the district manager if that gets you no where.

At my Wags they will not adjust the price up nor the coupon amount down. So, I had decided that if the coupon beeped that I would just tell them no thanks and walk away. As I posted earlier, I had no problems and at all 3 stores near me the coupons never beeped, not one. I cannot figure out why some stores they beep at and other stores they do not. It makes no sense to me and I feel bad for those of you who have to deal with this mess.

Yes, that happened to me also today. I had 3 of the air wicks 2 of the q's went thru fine and the third did not. The csa in charge said it was because it adjusted itself for the others but, not the third... ok, whatever that the airwick back and off my bill please.... Later I had to go to my local Wags to pick up a perscription that the nero doc sent in earlier in the day... I got 2 more.... only this time they would not work all... the csa said "oh, it's becaus it's for $4 and the sale price is $3.99. I said oh ok, please take thenoff the bill I unserstand... To my surprise he said that 's stupid and put then thru anyways...Now, don't get me wrong I love my Freebies and all.... But, I do not want to see a csa get into trouble or anything...... I have so may more Q's and want to use them... but, they seem to be causing trouble in my area :(

I had the same problem this evening when I bought just one. The kid (he goes to same school as my DD) gave me the $4 off. Contemplating how much time I want to spend on these as I have quite a few of the larger ones.

I had the same problem with a $1 coupon this last weekend. It was for $1 off Colgate. It expires this month and I HATE to waste any coupons.

I bought the travel size for $.99 and that particular gentleman refused to do anything. I told him to remove it from my transaction and took my q back.

Its a no go in York, PA as well. They won't adjust the price of the coupon or air fresners and I only had 1 because thats all that was left in the store. *pouts* I REALLY wanted one of these too.
