My personal experience at any store is that the younger cashiers tend to care less and are less scrutinizing of every single coupon or anything you do. I'm sure you have your own experiences and observations, but it seems the "adult" and especially senior citizen cashiers tend to be the most trouble.

Hi all!
I have a question...
Let's say ABC item is on sale for $10.00 at CVS or WAGS...you get an ECB or RR for $4 back...so basically sale price (after getting RR)is $6 cash (pay lower oop if you have a q on the item)

will WM PM the item to $6? and if the answer is Yes, does WM limit the amount you purchase (like ECB or RR limit to 1 customer)?
TIA

AFAIK, WM does not ad match prices after ECB/RRs which they consider as gimmick promos. they will ad match the sale price BUT will not deduct the ECB/RR value that goes with it.

in case of FARR at WAG, WM will not give Item(s) outright free just because they are free after register reward at WAG.

HTH.

This is my understanding of the policy as well.

Hi all,

I rarerly shop at Walmart and never used a q before so i need ur recomendations.
i want to buy 15-16 tubs of baby wipes.
Should i divide it into seperate transactions or does it not matter?
The item is for $ 1.97 and the q is for $2, so is it gonna beep or go through? I am gonna have a filler just to cover the overage but just in case, do u know if the can adjust the price to $ 1.97 (because this issue is not in the coupon policy)

I am soo nervous, I love the idea of free 15 tubs of wipes however i dont want to spend my time going to a walmart just for wipes and find them and put 15 of them in a cart (if the store has that amount of course) wait in the huge line and at the end being rejected and humiliated and the customers behind nagging etc :(
Are all walmart stores same about coupons etc or does it depend on the store, SM and the cashier?

I just had an experience with these coupons couple days ago. They didn't care that wipes were less, since you still end up paying tax. What they made me do is separate it in 21 TRASACTIONS. I tried to tell them that coupons says "one per purchase" and uneducated cashier kept telling me it meant one per transaction. I actually talked to three different people and the last one who acted bossy and pretended like he was a manager called the manager (I believe he faked it or didn't really talk to the manager but someone else) said that he didn't want to do that but he would do 21 different transactions. I said, "go ahead." After I called the manager and he apologized and said he'll need to train those guys better and I should have never gone through that. I wouldn't worry as far as coupons go but it also depends on the store and cashiers get to freak out as well.

I work at Walmart and I know if you use a lot of coupons like over 30, at the end a CSM (Customer Service/ Key Turner) has to come over and turn the key in the register. Once he (CSM) tried to tell me that I had to ring up the coupons in separate transactions to stop him from coming over. That is incorrect! The next time I carried the policy with me and showed him. It's always best to carry the policy with you. The funny thing is that I hired him when I was Manager over the front end at that store.... I smiled!!!!!!!!

you should not have to do smaller purchases for this coupon...nor should they adjust the coupon down at all...that is against there very own policy. Each time they are going to have to hit..well whatever they have to hit...for the coupon to be accepted...it says valid coupon amount? IMO this coupon is not a YMMV issue...they should accept it period. It's not like the knox coupon where your getting over $2.00 in overage.

Most of the time...all walmart stores "should" follow the exact same policy..that being said...occasionally like with the knox issue...you'll have a manager writing up his employee's for accepting coupons that he doesn't like...so your kind of stuck:shrug7:...but this coupon shouldn't be an issue.

thanks, i bought 9 tubs today (that's all the store had today)
I choose a young male cashier and he just read it carefully but didint hesitate to scan them all at once. i'm happy :)
