Register Rewards at Walgreens are Manufacturer's Coupons

[raster44]

I had the same problem at a new Walgreen's. "That register rewards are manufacturers coupons."

As I had a half hour or so to kill until I picked up the Grandkids from school, I asked to see the manager, and he responded after 10 minutes. I stood by the cashier at a reasonable distance and kept noting the time out loud. When the manager came, the cashier whispered something to the manager. He took me over to the next register and asked if I was recording our conversation. No, just my responses but may repeat your answers. He was taken aback and proceeded to ask questions about who, when, and what. I repeated what he said and I said,"I am not recording our conversation, just what I say." Note, my jacket has a pull string with a flat button which looks like a microphone. "Would you like to cash me out as I've been delayed here for to long and have a schedule to comply with." He checked me out using the manufacturers coupons and the register printed all the RR's with no problem. I thanked him and walked out of the store. I had no voice recorder, just my pleasant demeanor. When I reached my car I opened the trunk and placed the receipt in the bag and put a rubber band around the top which I do to keep items from flying around the trunk. Then you can reach in and pick up the bags by the handles easily. I felt someone watching me, so I took out my cell and acted like I was talking into it. I turned and looked back to the store and guess who is moving carts in the vestibule, the manager. I wanted to wave but just nodded and went on my merry way.

I had the same experience. I did not have the time to fight and I did remember seeing that Wags had changed their policy so I thought I was wrong. I will be ready for their *&^% next time!

I thought what happened was I used a RR to buy the same item to get a new RR.

This happened to me today, I tried to buy the Almay and was told that if I used a RR from that same item it would cancel out getting the new one. She was nice enough to cancel my trans and know I know-!-

I was hAving trouble at wags the other day. When cashier called the mgr for the second time, he said he didn't have time to deal with it. I was fairly shocked and decided not too fuss because I caused the line to get so long. The cashier was new and was clueless. Think I will call corporate and coMplain about mgr's arrogant butt. I felt like saying listen
Buddy it's your job to deal with me and to properly train employees!
