or someone in a management position, at your local store, refuse your coupons? Let's face it, not
everyone is a fan of coupons or people who use them. The truth is, there are some real haters out
there. Not only do couponers have to deal with haters, but also with the completely coupon illiterate.
What can we do as consumers? Number one, you should never feel guilty about using coupons. It is
not your fault that the stores you frequent have uneducated people in charge of making decisions on
your coupons. Number two, always be polite, remember you catch more flies with honey than
vinegar. Yes, I know this is hard to do, especially after standing 45 minutes in a self-check-out lane
in Walmart, and you are still waiting for a CSM.
Number three and I think the most important thing we can do as consumers; stand your ground, don't just walk away. You have the right to save money, using your coupons. Stores have a chain of command, if necessary, go to the top of the ladder.
The most important thing to remember is simple, they have the legal right to decline your coupons for any reason. They are not obligated to accept any coupon you present for your purchases; therefore remain calm, and if you are getting angry at any point during your experience, I suggest you walk away and try another day.
I am not going to lie to you, couponing can be very stressful. Personally, I had to take a break after five years of extreme couponing. No amount of money is worth placing your health in danger.
I have listed corporate phone numbers of a few of the places you may use coupons. I strongly advise you to print these numbers and place them in your binders. It is better to be safe than sorry.
