    Default Walgreens confiscates and hides the tearpads?!?!?!?

    Today I learned the reasoning behind why I rarely see tearpads at my Wags. The Beauty dept. cashiers keep them all for themselves. They have a binder FULL of tearpads.

    The cashier is friendly with me and I was buying the John Freida Clearance and she said, "Oh, I have a coupon for you." whips out a photo album stuffed with packs [I mean like full tearpads of 100 coupons] and packs of tearpads.

    I asked her if those were her coupons and she told me no, they come with some of the shipments and they keep them to use if there is a sale or if customers buy that product.

    Um, or you could put them out for us customers to get ourselves.
    This is so frustrating to me because about half of the ones I saw were expired and I saw a few I would have LOVED to use. Has anyone else encountered this 'tearpad hiding' at a Wags????

    All my Wags do the same thing. Never any tearpads to be found. I've never been given a coupon but see the BA give coupons to others checking out. I've even asked for coupons after reading here about the BA's having them. They look at me like I'm crazy. They don't like me, or what?!

    At our local walgreens I had a manager ask me if I wanted the whole TP because they were going to throw it away! They said the same thing.......it came with the shipping. I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. But ya, I have never seen a tear pad at walgreens and I know they do throw them away!

    Usually a sign where they are supposed to go that says "see Beauty Advisor for coupon when you purchase" or something like that.

    I have never seen tearpads.
    I've only been offered "the big envelope of coupons" to use 1 coupon once by a BA for Kotex.
    Only one time did I see the note, "ask the BA for additional savings with coupon" and that was for a Softsoap bottle. The BA told me she had used 4 of the coupons for herself.

    ONe of the gals at one of the wags I go to told me about their bin. She told me if I am ever looking for q's of makeup to come see her and she will try to find them for me. She had a tub FULL!!! (like a 20 gal. storage tote). I wonder if the manufacturer realizes that they are not being put out for customers.

    They keep most of them behind the counter at my Wags, too. They do have signs up everywhere, though. The store manager told me it was to encourage people to check out with the BA since they have to have a certain percentage of their transactions happen at those registers. I have had luck telling my BA that there was going to be a sale in the future on a product and asking for some coupons in advance.
