The cashier was nice and said he didn't think it would be a problem but he had to double check with the manager. She came over and said that they could not take the coupon but if the price was listed somewhere in the ad they could match it. For $5 I would've saved it for my daughter's first birthday but since it's 8 months away I have plenty of time to find good deals so I ended up leaving without it. But all the employees involved were surprisingly friendly. :) <br /><br />- This was in Central FloridaMommySpendsLesshttp://www.mommyspendsless.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-64285946118393774082009-11-15T23:49:27.521-06:002009-11-15T23:49:27.521-06:00AMEN COLLIN!!!

But another walmart 10 miles from my home, won't take any. They even tried to pull a fast one on a friend of mine, and said they couldn't take a M's coupon after a price match........WHAT????!?!?!! The thing that bothers me the most is that I barely have enough time to coupon shop as it is. I definitely don't have time to deal with store's and cashiers changing their minds on coupon policies based on their mood!! ggggrrrrr!Desireenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-36945726120798563402009-11-15T23:43:26.653-06:002009-11-15T23:43:26.653-06:00I tried to get this great deal at Target and of co...I tried to get this great deal at Target and of course they were sold out. So I printed the coupon policy off of Walmart's corporate website and took it with me. After feeling like a criminal the manager finally gave me the item because I had written proof that this in fact was Walmart's policy and nowhere did it state the stores got to pick and choose what they would honor. I was not rude at all when trying to get my item but I was not going to be bullied around by someone who wanted to change the rules.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-50504667958561560072009-11-15T21:14:39.824-06:002009-11-15T21:14:39.824-06:00Tried the deal today and after much stress and tal...Tried the deal today and after much stress and talking amongst lots of managers I was finally told that they treat other store coupons like a "price match" other than a coupon if that makes sense. They do not get a reimbursment on them like they would a manufacturers coupon. I left feeling a bit confused about it all and when it makes more sense I may try and go back to customer service and see what they can do but I thought I would pass the info along. It seems that all stores are not created equal though so "good luck" to all you walmarters. ;) Be prepared is all I have to say.

They don't care. I think you are treated better if you are food stamps/Wic person than a coupon person. I had a girl tell me they get in trouble if they have too many coupons that beep and they push them through. I don't think it is a very nice store to be employed by, people are afraid of loosing their jobs, and so yeah they will make up things right there that have nothing to do with the policy. I think it is fear on the part of the cashiers and I blame management and corporate for the terrible treatment of couponers.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961115082986633300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-90262027413984848542009-11-15T18:08:04.369-06:002009-11-15T18:08:04.369-06:00Mooresville and Statesville, NC Walmarts both said...Mooresville and Statesville, NC Walmarts both said no they will not take Target coupons.

What I was wondering is why customers seem to fight so much harder for their deals at Target than they do at WalMart (for example, by immediately calling customer service when a deal is denied). This past year alone, Target has made strides in clarifying store policies and putting them in writing. It seems that if everyone gave WalMart such flak, they'd be forced to clarify their policies--and stick to them!Erinnoreply@blogger.com
