[QUOTE="Star*, post: 430770, member: 4964"] That STUPID show has caused so many problems it's incredible. I've been couponing for a while now and NEVER in my LIFE has couponing been an ISSUE......NOW since that show? OMW - every body and their sister thinks they are an EXTREME couponer - and they are RUDE, and ARROGANT AND they are making it nearly impossible for people like me to get my little deals and make it. A few days ago the Bi-Lo had to shut down a lane because of this woman JUST KNOWING the cashier had RUINED her 'deals'. Okay - so how did THEY ruin it. More than likely SHE messed up on her calculations. Well - DUH- the coupon read = VERY CLEARLY - $1.00 off when you buy TWO - and she had gotten it mixed up but was being an ass because she thought it was BOGO, and the coupon was for $1.00 TWO.......and OMG.....we all had to pay the price but even a litlte goof up like THAT can throw your entire order off...and MY DAY - and then she had piggy backed coupons /stacking them and the stacks were expired. OMG(slap me now) and the girl was trying to explain that YES we do take those, but they are EXPIRED, and AGAIN the woman was arguing with the manager..... So what does THIS do? It leaves a huge bad taste in managements mouth for ME - when I walk up with MY coupons. And I get the dreaded look like - OH GOSH NOT YOU TOO. Soooooooooo I broke it down.......and told the girl - FIRST OFF.......I can do this very basically for you so we won't have a repeat of THAT - and waived to the idiot Then I said - Okay let me do this in categories......and put up my first batch of noodles - and I said - I have 8 coupons for $1.00 off......these are BOGO free @.97 each - and these are all $1.25 each - So I should Owe you $1.25 for 11 boxes of noodles.

Okay so she's ready to trust me with more than 10 coupons at a time. I didn't scare her with my box.......and I certainly didn't keep pointing to my lovely binder like the woman ahead of me did.
