…to where I don’t use coupons there anymore. (This is what I get for hitting enter before proofreading my rant.)

I’ve all but stopped using coupons at Target in Burlington NJ. They won’t let me buy four or five identical items with man coupons in a single transaction. I have to break them up. I can’t print or see coupons since they changed their system — it isn’t Windows 7 compatible. The other Target that I will occasionally shop at when I’m in the area (Mt Laurel NJ) won’t take ANY IP. Their policies aren’t consistent from store to store. I don’t need the hassle and embarrassment at the register. For the record, I never bought more than 1 item using the Target coupons. I know that there are some people that wouldn’t have issues rolling up to the register with a cart full of (insert item here) and a stack of Target coupons that they printed out in bulk. I never did that hoping to fly under the radar. However, the lead cashier has me pegged. Whenever I’m in the store she hangs around whatever register I go to. It’s gotten to where I really use a coupon there anymore. I wouldn’t step foot inside the damned store if not for the fact that it’s hubby’s favorite discount retailer. I wrote corporate over the coupon Nazi this summer and no one bothered to get in touch with me. I’d rather deal with the headaches from Wal-mart. At least if I have a complaint they call me back within a few days.

Yes…..you are being VERY nice about it. Me………it pi__es me off. They just keep gouging customer savings in knee jerk reactions. Frankly, if Target’s coupon and/or new price matching policy were still the same they would still be making BILLIONS of dollars on each and everyone of us don’t let that excuse fool you!! Just like any other big chain stores. I’ve been reading posts where now at many locations the store managers are (there is no written policy that I know of about this – correct me if I’m wrong please) making decsions like to only accept 3 coupons on like items, limiting the total number of coupons people can use (one post I read the woman had about 30 coupons and they would only let her use 10 & her coupons were not even on like items, not accepting coupons that make travel/trial sizes free, and on & on. This last change in their policy I think stinks! It does not hold the spirit of the price matching policy. I’ll stop venting now – ohhhhh it just makes me soooo mad:)
