DEAD:Walgreens 11/8-11/14

Well this won't come as a big surprise to anyone. After being told I am the "only one" who tries to do the Catalina deals in my Walgreens I encountered at least 3 if not 4 people last night with big folders of coupons and papers shopping in my little Walgreens. I noticed every time they checked out nothing worked and the cashier had to call the AM. Duh! Now I know they aren't always non receivers of stock as they normally try to tell me Anyway, I think I am finally at the point where I am going to aggressively seek positive feedback from corporate Walgreens. This frustration is becoming overwhelming.

Yes...on Sat before the sale, my Wags has a full stock of Meters...then Sunday they are all gone....I know I am not the only couponer at my Wags. I went to the next nearest Wags and a woman had emptied the shelf of all 10 meters they had into her cart. It's for these reasons, I support stores that have limits or at least let people place advance special orders.

After reading how some placed orders of the meters for 100 and got them, I think pre-ordering is also a form of shelf wiping. WHY? since most people are now encouraging this pre-orders all over coupon boards, many have learned to place advance orders 2 weeks to a month before the RR promo dates are active. Because of this trend, some stores get all the stocks leaving ZERO for the rest. Is that fair?

I think those who have zero stocks of RR items advertised for the week should call the attention of WAG with a link to lots of posts on the net where they got their 100 meters rang up separately to get their $500 RRs while most can't even get one meter! Something has to be done about stock distribution in all their branches. I don't have a problem with friendly stores fulfilling pre-orders by the hundreds AS LONG as the warehouse make sure all their branches get their share of stocks for customers in all regions. These ads are printed months in advance and if they know what RR promos there are, they should be prepared for the huge demand.

I wrote to them when I observed this problem at our stores during previous promos and the DM did something about it. Those who see empty shelves first day of the sale might want to write to corp via the website to make them aware they are not getting any of the weekly sale items.

JMHO.

I consider myself on the extreme side of things........but even I didn't order 100 monitors. Last time I never got to get in on the deal at all even when I ordered cuz they never came in. This time I got lucky I guess and got my 34 monitors.
