WalMart Vent! GRRR!

Thats anther person that dont understand how coupons work. I have in the past had to many people to say the store loses money because of coupons getting the prodcut free or close to free. I feel that maybe the person that told her to pull them is a coupon hater and dont like to see people get things for free even tho its no loss to their store at all..LOL maybe the store mtg that said to pull them is going to buy them and use coupons on the iem themself, it could happen.

From what I realized after reading people's shopping experiences @ WM, it all boils down to individual stores' experiences. I've been to very hostile WM and will not go back to those while there are also very lenient ones with anything goes policy where customer is always right.

One CSM I've discussed with said they have tons of items returned, 100% of them bought with coupons, after they researched on those items. Since the CS cashiers are the ones seeing receipts presented to them with coupons that match the items being returned, she has facts to back up her observation. While I do not blame them for making policies like no returns w/o receipts, I don't know how they can track all items on whether or not there were coupons for those. This part really baffles me and it is quite unfair to those who return items for legit reasons, no intent to turn coupons to cash/store credit.

That is the part that makes it hard for legit returns w/o receipts when they deem those items have been bought with coupons. I dread returns @ WM even with receipts, I will not dare making a return w/o receipts for all possible questioning and humiliation I guess we just have to keep on looking for a good branch and hopefully, find one.

Not to say this isn't happening, but it is not happening at WM's nationwide. My WM's are sometimes OOS on free/low price items with coupons - but if I got back a couple days later, they have most items. I really think items are being stocked, but are being bought as quick as they are stocked. It's not like the $1/1 bic coupon, or the $2/1 schick razors q is a secret.
Try to be patient. If certain WM's aren't replenishing their stock, try to talk to a store manager directly, as opposed to speaking with a floor stocker. They may not me saying accurate things.

I hope you are able to get some of these items before the q expires.

The majority of the items purchased at walmart, never would have a coupon for them....so really it shouldn't be a problem to return without the receipt unless it's a bunch of HBA stuff or food. Maybe a well written letter to corp telling them how hostile the branch is about returns, noting that obviously you don't want the store to be scammed but treating everyone else like crooks isn't helpful either.

I went to a super walmart about 1 hour away and could not find the benifiber sticks anywhere...I asked managers and they were no help.My husband works in the backroom at our walmart and i gave him the upc for the benifiber sticks and they were at our little walmart and not that huge one....but besides that all the money makers i could not find there.I thought something was not right with that.I can't wait until this April 19th and our super center is open because our store does not do that.

FYI I'm in Kansas and my Walmart is a super center, although on the smaller side of a super center and they don't have the benefiber sticks at the price that gives overage.

So it's entirely possible that not all walmarts have the overage stock or price

I typically find the bigger market walmarts have what I'm looking for, hard thing is it's not worth it for me to drive there so it's more if I"m already there for other reasons I just stop by.
