Reader M. had an experience at her store that was very frustrating. This is her question and my advice. What advice do YOU have for her?
Reader Question:
PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong: remember that $5/2 almay cosmetics coupon? Walmart manager told me that I could only use 1 per transaction because that’s what “one per purchase” means. So if I wanted to keep using them then I’d have to do them 1 at a time. Seems pointless and I know it will make check out way longer. Is he wrong? And if he is, do I just let it go?
My Answer:
OMG what a mess… nope you are NOT wrong they need basic COUPON 101 classes. There is a BIG difference between 1 per purchase, and 1 per transaction. I usually ask, “how many am I purchasing?” and try to go from there. But sometimes they just don’t get it. If that is the case just do them 1 at a time and most of the time, they will say, “fine, just this ONE TIME I will allow you to do more then one.” LOL!
It also helps to have a coupon where you can show them the wording when they say “4 per transaction, or 1 per transaction” if all else fails, call 1-800-walmart.
What is YOUR advice? What do YOU do when you get the 1 per purchase comment??
